Eating out


Performa in October: Ribs, honey rain

It’s all about the atmosphere, right?

I seem to just miss attending any of the Futurist dinners that seem to be popping up here and there. And there. And there. It’s interesting that this sort of sub-edible genre is finding an audience – with interpretations that seem to actually work. [Read more →]

Something I’d learned from my father


Marker for the International Dateline from a front yard on Taveuni; via Flickr

My dad was a navigator during World War II. He knew a lot about celestial navigation, time zones and the International Dateline.

I once asked him if one traveled fast enough and could cross the International Dateline backwards – repeatedly – would they have to subtract a day each time  . . .

And as a result, would one end up traveling back in time?

He said,

Yes.

Thanks for giving.

Hotto Raisu: Emergency rice!

‘By subjecting rice to 4,000 times normal atmospheric pressure, the developers were able to preserve rice for long periods in a soft form that holds moisture.’

From Japan: Rice that cooks itself. More.

Nick Verreos, Heidi Klum make faces

Nick was one of my friends in junior high. We actually had sewing class together! (The memories that brings back; our home ec teacher, Ms. Behse, was a real nut)

It’s been super cool to see his success after appearing as a contestant on the second season of Project Runway. Viral video (above) of Nick reporting on the pink carpet at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in NYC. More at Nick’s blog.

Currently, Nick has several cool projects in the works. He’s also an instructor at Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) – where last season’s Project Runway was filmed.

Come to think of it, I wore a pink tie to my prom.
