I made butter tarts. Which do you prefer, plain, raisin, or with nuts?

The Oscars have become an ongoing reminder for me that what’s valued and celebrated in the arts mainstream is not necessarily what’s good, relevant, or innovative. The best, most exciting work is always beyond the edge of the spotlight.

This is a Virginia Woolf quote, cited by E. R. Dodds in his Bacchae commentary, that’s stuck with me.

Sometimes it’s overwhelming that the stars are so far away and sometimes it’s a comfort that the sky is infinite.

The way to my heart has always been mini eggs.

I dislike propagandistic misinformation of any kind, but when it comes from my portion of the political spectrum, I find myself especially irritated. The conceit that "we" are a more humane expression of truth and justice is undermined and I need to think we're better than that.

Figs. That’s all. Just figs.

I’ve never read Henry Miller and only know the work from its reputation on Seinfeld. Like, I only know it from the bookman ep.

This made me laugh way more than I should have. Look at this anarchy. Total chaos. I just can’t.

An Episode of Human Futility. I had posted this but for some reason lost my nerve to keep it posted, which is stupid because it's a piece I believe in. #poetry

An untitled poem about spring. #poetry

This feels so relevant right now.

Taleggio imitation freshly washed at 28 days. The surface has become sticky and ivory coloured (pink-orange in places) and the cheese has taken on its characteristic aroma. Another 20-30 days to go, but all is right with the world.

Sometimes you just need a bit of trash. Teriyaki chicken bite musubi with ginger, spicy mayo, cilantro, and furikake.

Wisdom here. 👇👇👇

Some kind of saucisse sèche à l’ail et au poivre. Trying a few things I hope work out. I should be posting more poetry and any ceramics at all, but I can’t share those projects just yet.

Al pastor.

I think I’ve struggled with Valentine’s day in the past because I’ve struggled with worthiness in the face of love. Love was expectation and guilt, which isn’t right at all, it’s supposed to be a gift. I’m doing my best to learn that

This will never get old for me. It’s like magic. The Geotrichum candidum has taken hold on my St Marcellin imitation. In a week, I’ll wrap it. In a month, it will be perfect.

Pasta shells stuffed with spinach, ricotta, pecorino, and lemon zest in a basic marinara.

“The thought has at some time occurred to us how many democracies have been dissolved by those wishing to take part in government in some other way than in democracy, and further, how many monarchies, and how many oligarchies have been abolished by the people, and how many attempting tyranny… 1/2

Farinata is a chickpea flour-based flatbread eaten as a street food in Genoa. Usually eaten plain (as pictured) or with rosemary, salt, or onions, however I topped mine with cream cheese, pesto, and slightly cooked grape tomatoes, after Pasta Grammar.

German night. Spätzle and schnitzel.

Typos will always be my udoing.
