goodness -- i'm thinking very seriously about what my life will be like in a few months, living on olive, working at the mint and 3rd ward, performing more i hope. i've pretty much stalled on Aubrey which is really a shame. After Duncan I'll have time -- i hope.

This morning on the subway: NPR talking about Dora the Explorer!

Dinner last night:
Had a lovely time with my newfound friend Dan Fishback along with my oldfound friend Max Steele and my roommates. Igot off work at 4 and immediately began the planning -- Dan is scared of shrimp (?) and Max is a vegetarian, so I had to spend much time planning. No problem. Love that shit. I walked from work down through Chelsea and went to the Whole Foods there. Bought veggies, tofu, tangerines, sesame seeds, corn starch (anyone know where i'm going here?). Went home and made SESAME TANGERINE TOFU with JULIENNE VEGETABLES and rice. Delish.

I realized afterward that I should have actually rearranged my steps a little: Should have reduced the sauce first then just tossed it with the tofu and vegetables -- they would have stayed crisp instead to boiling into a sog. Luckily the flavor was good enough to make up for the lack of texture.

Annalee talked to me the other day about how i tend to review everything as i eat it -- what would i call it, how would i write about it, etc. I called Katie's bolognese "rustic" the other day and everyone thought I was a crazyfreak. Which i am, and admittedly so. More in like ten minutes.
