On the Subject of Laughter.

Tennis world number one & number two, giggling like children while trying to shoot a commercial. Delightful.

On the Topic of Friendship.

How do you measure a brilliant friend? To me it's a person you can laugh with endlessly about a subject as random as Travis the Chimp. Me & my beautiful friend Kristin were absolutely obsessed with theTravis/Charla Nash tragedy that claimed the life of an eerily human chimp and the face of a good woman. Not to say there is anything humorous about the brut strength of a primate mauling an innocent person. But there is something quite hilarious about people who are stupid enough to own wild animal and pretend it's some normal shit. Anyway, Kristin made me this funny video to give me a good laugh. To all the primates who have ever been made to dress up in silly outfits and ice skate, Kay & I feel your pain. And to my very dear friend, love ya Kay, thanks for the video.

Last Night's Dinner/Today's Lunch


This dish ain't no trouble at all. Boil some water with a bit of salt & olive oil. Then add the pasta once the water is boiling rapidly. Saute strips of tofu in some oil olive and season with kosher salt & sesame seeds. Cook until each side is crispy, then remove them from the pan. Add Italian chopped plum tomatoes, yellow peppers, and arrabbiata sauce. Simmer for about 7-10 minutes, add the tofu, and plate over pasta. Garnish with pecorino romano & black pepper. 


Every Little Step. . .

This is quite simply, so f'n brilliant! I'm really not a fan of Wayne Brady and have been known to call him the c word on occasion. But between this and his cameo on The Chapelle Show, he gets a pass for any past or future corny, dare I say Uncle Tomish work. Mike Tyson is what really makes this video hilarious though. Poor bastard has no rhythm and has an expression on his face like a kid in a middle school talent show who forgot all the choreography. Keep an eye out for his suspenders bit. It's quick but one of my favorite parts. Love it!

Color Blocking.

In honor of New York's fashion week I watched The September Issue. It's a brilliant documentary about Vogue's largest and most influential edition of the year. It's fascinating to watch even if you aren't deep into the fashion world. The Color Blocking shoot, which was quite contentious in the doc, inspired my cooking over the next few weeks. Peep the trailer and my take on the concept.

"We don't have to be dramatic, just romantic."

Taking another sip of Black Coffee this evening. This song is so sexy and features the same vocalist, Bucie, as "Turn Me On." It's definitely one of my new favorites. Shout out to Craig, my spin instructor at NYSC 125th!
