Get up! Now!

I just read that one’s metabolism slows down by as much as 90% after sitting down for just 30 minutes! Go get a glass of water, a few deep breaths or go talk to the co-worker you were just about to email (double whammy!)… Now!

Weather forecast

There are two types of people in this world: those able to give you the weather forecast 5 days out, complete with lows and highs and the exact time at which the rain will end… And the rest of us, who spend their day either freezing with frizzy hair or sweating bullets. Yes, I do belong…

Jalapeño Pão de Queijo, vegan – inspired by Brazilian cheese breads

Robin suggested this gluten-free, dairy recipe. She found it on her friend’s Facebook page  “Wake and bake Mama”. I took the cheese out and added the gluten back. What can I say?! I think dairy is more evil than gluten. But that’s just me. And a few others. May I suggest you add “Forks over knives” to your…

Soft+creamy vegan cheese, soy-based [GF]

I adapted this recipe from Scott Jurek’s Eat & Run book (http://scottjurek.com/eatandrun/recipes/). I solely credit this man for my deciding to explore veganism. I was sold when I read that I could eat anything I wanted without putting on weight if I followed a plant-based diet. OK, it not may be completely true since I do not…

Caulika muffins

I am very excited to share my first recipe! These little muffins come out in the funnest shade of green. They’re perfect Saint Patrick’s treats. Being French, I could not live my life without bread. And I run a lot, so I need my carbs. I also have read bunch about how evil gluten is, inflammatory and fattening and…

PS1 – 3/26/2016

Oh, PS1, I love you! I love you! I love you! You make me think and you make me giggle, you provide me with endless photo opportunities. The piece featured on this entry is Lure and was created in 1995 by Kiki Smith (b. 1954). It represents the poetics of the human body. The weight of the hook recalls the status of the body…

Inside MoMA – 3/26/2016

I started my day at the MoMA yesterday… Did you know that Jackson Pollock died in a car accident at age 44? I didn’t. I am amazed at the amount of art he produced and the notoriety he acquired in such a short time. I liked some of his stuff. The lady in the raincoat did too!…

First post: guiding principles

I’d like to use this first post to lay out some guiding principles, about what this blog is intended to be like, both in form and contents. Short+Sweet – Death by words! I’ve given up on too many blogs because of that. I don’t want the same happening to us. Photography/Art=Awesome – I love it as a means to create beautiful things, to…
