As It Comes

Sat, 10 May 2014 19:57:28 +0000

Some confluence of weather and soul have come together to make me feel so restless! Wandering about the house, out to the yard, back to the house, up the stairs and down again and back to retrieve whatever tugged my feet there. Bird fights outside making the cats crazy making the dog crazy and we [...]

Winter is Coming

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:22:33 +0000

And you know what that means! It means that I am working on gaining ten pounds of winter cuddle to keep myself warm in the coming Dark Months. It means lots of creamed spinach and dandelion and kale. It means huddling sad-faced under blankets and coats and keeping hats on indoors. It means getting yelled [...]

I was all set to write you last month! I had this terrible dinner at Green Well Gastro Pub (they have a dumb name, so it isn’t my fault if I butcher it) and I was frothing at the mouth to tell you all about how bad it was, how disappointing. And then? Then I [...]

Thu, 09 May 2013 01:35:56 +0000

I always forget how much I hate people. I mean, I know on an abstract level that I do, but the passion usually just isn’t there. And then a new semester of school starts {or I enter a shopping mall (or the damn farmers market– jesus god)} and the seething, deep loathing returns. So let [...]

Charley, why?

I know what you are going to say. “What did you expect?” “Isn’t that where blue hairs go at 5 PM for food that doesn’t require chewing?” “Isn’t it expensive?” “Aren’t there better restaurants in town these days?” I will spare you the suspense and tell you that you all were right. But damn it, I [...]

Hannukah is over but the whole house smells like chicken fat. I am making a Christmas tradition: chicken pot pie x2. One gets eaten for dinner, the other gets frozen and shlepped to our friend Mark’s mama for her Christmas dinner. It is flattering to be so in-demand. I treat chicken with what I consider [...]

On being that customer

Thu, 13 Dec 2012 20:46:34 +0000

I had the oddest experience today! Well, in a way it was strikingly familiar. A group of dummies walks into a deli. They sit, they sit. An employee lets them know to order at the counter. A couple of people buy a soda. They sit. They talk over their Very Important Issues. Eventually they leave. [...]

Back to school we go, don’t we? And if we are really, really lucky we get new outfits to wear to there! I brought back new jeans from San Francisco (rather, New York, via SF #handmedowns) and I am feeling sharklike: Lydia, slinking down the halls of Grand Valley with pointed feet and pricked ears.

Hibiscus for the Heatwave

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:17:39 +0000

Don’t get me wrong, being a full-time student is pretty absurdly awesome. I read all sorts of cool stuff all the time about things like efficient markets and section 1245 recapture and workplace diversity. People come over and take a look at my coffee table book selection and are all “Oh, man, I was just [...]

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 22:58:46 +0000

It’s been so long I think we need some explanation, some exposition. The last few months have been quite busy! I started Real College, got married and learned how to clean fish. See? Lots to do. I suppose we could add to the list Artprize, Vertigo-a-go-go, Revue, canning season… but I digress. Sometimes all it [...]

Spices, Revisited

Sun, 12 Jun 2011 23:01:01 +0000

We’ve talked before about the Great Spice Problem, but I’ve heard that the subject deserves another look. So, friends, let us revisit our various grubby jars, racks, drawers, and baggies and have a little chat. Spices are a giant pain in the ass. They are expensive and perishable; their character can change wildly based on any [...]

Mimosas and Mama

Mon, 09 May 2011 01:37:05 +0000

It is so lovely to come from a food family. Not that we are all connoisseur-y or even all that well-eaten (that is the correlative to well-traveled, right?) but that we are willing to put a lot of time and effort into food. This manifests often in our gatherings, like today, when we gathered at [...]

Lemon Cake

Wed, 04 May 2011 21:38:02 +0000

The days of baking have continued. I have lost interest in what I consider “normal” cooking, and to be honest, I’ve lost some interest in eating! This is actually a really good thing, as I’ve felt, in the past few years, a tad gluttonous. I think this was my body’s reaction to starving back in [...]

Hello Friends at Love – Electro Night

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:44:09 +0000

You know that we have been spinning records at Love on Tuesday nights. It is a dope spot and we bring dope music. Next week we will be playing Electro & Freestyle for most of the night along with our regular modern soul & disco jams.

Don’t sleep on this one.

Here is a taste of what you can expect to hear:

Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:38:28 +0000

The public library sometimes sets up collections of similarly themed books out in front of the stacks. I am always very happy to see them, as I get a sort of blank rush over my brain as soon as I step into the building, and invariably I forget the list I may have been making [...]

Where Do We Go From Here (The Story of Death)

Mon, 18 Apr 2011 23:16:25 +0000

If you have yet to hear about Death, you have been missing out. This NY Times article will get you up to speed, don’t worry, I’ll wait ’til you get back.

Okay, intrigued now? At least now you know that Death was a band from Detroit essentially making punk rock before a thing called “punk” existed. In 2009 Drag City released some of their recordings on an album entitled “…For the Whole World to See” and recently the label has put out a record of some reel-to-reel demo recordings the band made between 1974-1976 called “Spiritual Mental Physical.” This collection of tracks adds a bit to the sound we heard on “…For the Whole World” and makes me wonder if there are any other unheard gems from Death.

Well, just today I stumbled upon this website that features a trailer for a documentary about the band which looks pretty cool, hopefully it will tell us more about just how in the world this sound was coming out of 1974 Detroit and why is was hidden for so long. I am not seeing a release date anywhere, however, so that is a bit disconcerting.

http://vimeo.com/9757563?ab

I think one of the coolest parts of the trailer is seeing the original members (minus David Hackney who passed away from lung cancer in 2000) still kicking ass on stage. Here is a little taste of the band from 2010. I wish they would tour ’round this way again.

If you know anything about a release date for this documentary, leave a comment!

Hummus

Tue, 01 Mar 2011 16:25:51 +0000

I thought I knew how to make hummus. I mean, how hard is it? Throw some chickpeas in the food processor, slosh in some olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, whirl it for a bit and you’re done. Maybe if you wanted to get fancy you’d sprinkle on some paprika. I’ve been making hummus this way [...]

So this begs the question how can I use this blog, this site, and the webs connectivity and very material resistance to a uni-vocal trajectory, to have a conversation with you? I want to talk with you reader. I want to have a conversation. I want us to come to an understanding together over what the words I am using mean to you. But, I also delight in the knowing this can never really happen. You will misunderstand me and that’s ok, there is a power and potential in the space where understanding begins to break down: the margins of knowledge. This site offers an opportunity to conjure a world where we can become connected and converse from a place of common misunderstanding. I’m looking forward to meeting you there.
