did someone call for a pool girl?

because davis offers too few costuming opportunites, i offered my hot tub scrubbing services to ws & rgb this morning. floppy approved of my uniform (see him under my knee)--he likes it when i dress to match him.

cooking for lynette

on january 16, i commenced the project of preparing weekly art snacks for my teacher.

on the menu for studio visit no. 1:

• one slice of indian-spiced cornmeal-crust pizza.

curry romanesque cauliflower, shitakes, greens. in tomato sauce (made by cph's mom, from her garden). topped with breadcrumbs and ground walnuts.

"it's very complex--vegan food is often so plain. and i am very hungry."

• salad of greens from the farm

"do you always make the dressing so tart?"

january 23, 2007 penultimate bite

on the menu for studio visit no. 2:

• roasted cauliflower with mustard seed, coriander, fenugreek, red salt, red pepper flakes
• red quinoa with chopped parsley and mustard greens

"textures locate the flavors in different places."

what does the practice of cooking for my teacher mean to me? it's commitment to a practice. creating a space, a framework for our conversations. a way to contextualize making something new every week. commitment to a (near-)weekly practice of self-enforced nourishment. cooking for my teacher has a precedent (i was reminded). as barter for enrollment in the independent school of art in 2005, i cooked food for jon rubin, my teacher.

"this feels like a project."
