About

Food is all about balance. Not too salty, not too sweet, with just enough spice to knock at the door, but not so much as to overstay its welcome. It’s a push-pull tug of war on the palate, but when the right combination is struck, few other things can compare. Like food, my life right now is about hovering around an invisible median: Be polite, but don’t be a pushover. Be feminine, but don’t be helpless. Be hopeful about the future, but don’t be quick to make plans that are surely subject to change. Be smart, but don’t be a know-it-all. But sometimes I wonder if my middle-of-the-road attitude about everything doesn’t actually inhibit me from being totally passionate about any one thing. Maybe my supposed favor for logic and reasoning is really just a disguise for my fear of total spontaneity. Maybe one day, in a moment of total clarity, I’ll decide the answer. For now, less thinking and more eating. And cooking. But mostly eating.

Koreans used to value what was perceived as a grittiness on the part of shorter people. “A smaller pepper is hotter,” the saying here went, and one need look no further for proof than the late South Korean strongman, Park Chung-hee, or across the DMZ to the North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il, who claims to be 5-foot-5 (but adds inches with elevator shoes and bouffant hairstyle).

Stayed up until 2am baking these last night for the office christmas party: White chocolate-dipped cranberry pistachio biscotti. I guess this has turned into my Christmas tradition now.
Related to the note about 2am…can I go home now?

By the very nature of abortion, nobody intends to have one. Nobody intends to get pregnant by mistake, nobody intends to be raped, nobody intends to be [a victim of incest], and no one intends, in the course of a wanted pregnancy, to have a catastrophic event that requires an abortion.

New Josh Ritter Album Due Out in April 2010

twentyfourbit:

We knew that Josh Ritter’s next album, the follow-up to The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter, was virtually in the can, as well as the first draft to his first novel, but now, thanks to an interview with Albany’s Times Union, we have a few more details about both projects.

“It’s coming out in April of 2010,” Ritter said of his sixth LP. “I’ve worked on it for about a year now in between touring. I just got it done the other day.” Whereas Historical Conquests was “kind of impressionistic,” Ritter says, “kind of like a Jackson Pollock painting,” he embraced a much slower recording process for the new as-yet-untitled album:

 Josh Ritter @ Music Hall of W-burg = definitely one of the top concerts I’ve ever been to. The man is just so…happy and cheerful.
