i’m always waiting for that sound when a certain person says things to me. only it’s not a joke. it never its. it’s just mean. dede has a great story about her twins when they were little. bridget really wanted to tell siobhan to fuck off, but she hadn’t learned fuck off yet and she was so frustrated trying to express her annoyance with her sister.

so tonight as i take my first sip of wine and wait for my friends to come over i’m gonna drink to all the times i’ve wanted to tell people to fuck off and then used my better judgement. what’s the point? tao would say that when you tell someone to fuck off you’re telling yourself to fuck off.

listening to cat power cover loretta lynn. omfg it’s so right.

Persimmon and pomegranate salad

is my new favorite thing. roasting one right now to be served with lots of garlic and parmesan.  i don’t feel all that well so i’m hoping to get all the bad stuff out with some good nutrition.

tomorrow night fabian and i are cooking. i know it’s not a competition, but i have to bring my a game food wise cuz fabian takes eating vacations in paris. no sights just food. we ended up inviting a bunch of our friends so my menu keeps expanding. on the list

• persimmon and pomegranate salad
• porcini mushroom risotto
• roasted salmon and leeks
• savory pear and gorganzola tart (always a crowd pleaser)
• lemon bars

now if i’m feeling inspired and creative i’ll prolly make some lemon pesto and fava bean crostini. he’s making short ribs and wendy is making a berry tart.

i’m making a conscious effort to bring the four effs back to my life because it’s really all i care about. food, fun, friends and family.

will of course. and just for the record i would totally open a biodynamic surf/hostel/farm cafe in panama.

will, talkin’ bout the pixies. erg. oh well.

This, these words by Ellen Goodman, is a perfect conclusion to my brief trip into the past and a good reminder as I start down a different path, again, and again:

There’s a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over - and to let go.  It means leaving what’s over without denying its validity or its past importance in our lives.  It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry and that we are moving on, rather than out.

of course

Who says LA doesn’t have seasons?
