Frak

I’ve been busy with a new semi-regular job, releasing my first self-published book, figuring out how to buy a suit jacket that fits me (and acquiring it before the third of April), and preparing for a week-long trip to Chicago. I have, however, been using any downtime to re-watch the first season of Battlestar Galactica. Grace Park is 35 years old; can you believe that? Frak.

Reasons to move back to NYC — Pies ‘n’ Thighs

I’ve been saying that the one thing that would get me to move back to the East Coast would be my former local favorite: Pies ‘n’ Thighs. They closed down a few years back but they’re finally reopened as of today. I guess that means I better start packing my bags.

Mission Street Food - Beef served seven ways

Mission Street Food made a menu preparing beef seven (actually, ten) different ways.

Oxtail Terrine with fines herb gelee, root vegetable brunoise, truffled egg, mixed chicories, puffed barley, sorrel

I won’t lie — I ate two orders of the terrine…

Beef Consomme with Marrow Butter Toast, persillade

Surf & Turf: Simmered Atlantic Skate and Crispy Veal Sweetbreads with asparagus, crushed pea, sea urchin emulsion

Aged USDA Prime Ribeye with potato espuma, charred scallion pickle and bearnaise

Tongue & Cheek: Seared Tongue, Braised Cheek, savoy cabbage, demiglace, fresh horseradish

This was easily one of the best meals I’ve had at Mission Street Food. I’m looking forward to the next visit…

Another Asian with a Camera

Another Asian with a Camera is a repository for outtakes, mistakes, blunders, and exorcising the good ideas from the bad. Yeah, it’s a Tumblr. It won’t really be a blog; follow it if you want to see photos — it’s not going to be something that’s even closed to polished, but, rather, things I’m working on or random snaps to get myself back in the right direction.

Thanks for subscribing.

Making money vs. quality work

Saul Bass had some poignant thoughts:

I don’t give a damn whether the client understands if that’s worth anything or that the client thinks it’s worth anything or whether it is worth anything; it’s worth it to me — it’s the way I wanna live my life ; I wanna make beautiful things — even if nobody cares.

Thanks, Samuel.

To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time.
