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.

And I run a lot, so I need my carbs. I also have read bunch about how evil gluten is, inflammatory and fattening and…

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…
