I just watched two people cross the street. When they started throwing snowballs at each other I instantly knew they were in love. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZTXD9kMROU/?utm_medium=tumblr

So nice to have a visit from @ronhaywoodjones and to now be able to hang these skateboard decks he painted for us. (at Upper East Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNgGDj0nMPw/?igshid=1j22poj2o2u85

Fresh ricotta for pizza. And a glass of whey on ice, because it’s five o’clock somewhere! (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ODjqynrlm/?igshid=1azhala087b63

Big thanks to Wei at @red.house.spice for taking me right back to Shanghai. I first ate these outside the gate of my university in 1985 when I was just 17. I would eat a ton of these little guys, they were so good. I never thought I’d make them myself, let alone ion a weeknight. I still have to learn to make them prettier, but dang, these were sooooo tasty. Topped with some black sesame for flair. Woot! https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Yk7KEnutk/?igshid=lev8wrafxhmk

I won't lie: living in Manhattan is not without its quirks. People imagine it being like when they visit, but longer. And in many ways it is. But there are things one needs to get used to, including but not limited to: --The lady (very nice) down the hall who quacks like a duck as she walks --Paying $4.00 for a cup of black coffee poured from an urn --Drivers who lean on their horns to rouse a double-parked driverless truck at 8:30 A.M. --That homeless man pleasure-punishing himself against a closed storefront window as you walk home at night --The torrent of all-determined commuters swarming this way or that (but in my case, mostly that), depending on the time of day. One gets used to the noise. One gets annoyed by the pointless hornleaners. One might find the quacking distracting. But one also might fare well to tune it all out and summarize it as the exciting bustle of this massive collective organism. Am I tempted to knock on the window of the Audi SUV with the impatient driver and ask about his urgency? Yes. But I talk myself down, knowing that that act in itself would only be adding absurdity to the pointless. I don't don earbuds the way so many others do. I want to hear it all. At least for now, I choose to bear witness to the quacking, crying, spilling, churning and rubbytugging… okay, not the rubbytugging… but all the rest of it. It is all fine with me when at the start of the day I can take my four-dollar cup of coffee and walk to the reservoir and look at the architecture of the Upper West Side in the light of the morning sun. But next time, I'll brew my own coffee. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCHOp-ngAR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=whvsk5ju84i3
