table feast

Yes I love indian food, I don't remember the exact name of this restaurant, but it's in new york,
possible on indian row. I know my friend Jenny Lee (who has given a list of places to eat at, thanks Jenny!) This was years ago and it was fun and the food was delicious!


Food journey begins!

Food!

Food! Food! Food!
I've been wanting to post more pics of food- now is the time!

Enjoy!

melted pepper jack cheese. Baby spinach with mayo spread on one side of 
the toasted bread.

mayonnaise, black pepper. 
    French fries- seasoned with french fries seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper,
and basil.

Ode to Anthony Bourdain

For the past two weeks I've been watching Anthony Bourdain's 'Parts Unknown'. It's been such an eye-opening experience; and I've been looking forward to traveling the world; so to see what he saw and how the show presents the various locations and faces and personalites Anthony Bourdain encountered is amazing and inspiring!

September, last year, a good friend of mine took his life- he was a great photographer/artist- Ricky Godoy- I miss him so much. Young, energetic, generous man. He was in his early twenties. So I know what it's like to lose a good friend to suicide. My prayers go out to those who mourn over the late Anthony Bourdain.

Today is Mr. Bourdain's birthday and for that and his inspiring journey he shared with us in literature and on tv, here's a poem in his honor:

New Frontiers

To find new frontiers
you must extinguish the fears
open your ears
to those who will make it
clear
to your
western narrowed minds
to let loose whatever is
confined

New soil
yellow mustard sun
road map faces

Communion tables of
bliss
sweet brutal delights
shake our dull perspectives
upside down
tonight

Discussing the old with the new
politics, death and of course
food

Eat everything offered
unless you'll be considered
rude

Every great artist
should continue to learn new things
this he made clear

So the wanderer
goes on
onto a new frontier.
