why i dont cook much.

1) roast asparagus
2) saute veggies
3) boil water in electric kettle
4) transfer water to pot wait to "almost" boil
5) cook pasta
6) combine elements w/parmesan cheese

could be completed in 20min if done concurrently. will take close to an hour cooking one element at a time. and this is the simplest meal. not that i know anything more complex.

my "your MoMA" jokes:

your MoMA is so dumb when sailing though the gallery it always gives joseph beuys a wide berth.

your MoMA so dumb, it thought Sol Lewitt was a french comedian.

I honestly didn't think things would move this fast. It still may well come to nothing, but some of our former asshole leaders and their asshole legal staffs must be starting to sweat. That's a good start. And maybe I'm just naive, but it also looks like Obama might be ready to really put the screws to the Israeli government, vis-a-vis the Palestinian situation. I'm still pissed about Summers and Geithner and Bernanke , but man, there's a bunch of good stuff going down too!

By the time the war ended, home gardeners were producing 40 percent of the United States' produce. They aided the war effort by creating local food networks that provided much needed produce in their own communities, but their effect on the social fabric of the nation was greater still. Urban and suburban farmers were considered morale boosters who had found a great sense of empowerment through their own dedication to a common cause.

Last night I had some of the best greens I've ever eaten: wintered over and bolted brussels sprout flowers (stems and leaves too) sauteed in olive oil with garlic and onion. They are amazing raw too. If you grow them be sure to let some bolt and flower
