Indian Summer

Hey everyone! So I haven’t gone missing again. In my last post I asked you guys what your favorite combinations were. If you didn’t get a chance to check out some of the responses, click over here! I’m curious to try a few of them like Melissa’s pick of Radiohead and geometry, P.P.’s playlist with a cold beer in hand, and Jim’s affinity for cream, coffee, and hazelnuts. Here’s one for you all: Tarantino Talks/Stranger than Fiction while running… or walking.

Some of you were wondering if the magazine app is available outside of an iPad. Because the app is specifically designed for iPads, unfortunately it is not. Maybe a friend has one or even check it out at an Apple store. The November issue went live this past week, and it looks beautiful. Here’s a picture over the cover:

I’ve still got some things to share from when I was in Florida, so the last post and the upcoming posts will feel like I’m unpacking my suitcase, which in reality I will soon be able to do as well! It may seem like bit of a tease  looking at summer-centric foods, but here goes.

Salad days have turned into soup days.

"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination"

Why hello there, friends! It’s been quite some time since my last post, hasn’t it? I’m starting to feel a little more settled now here in New York. Things have been a rollercoaster to say the least. The kind with plenty of climbs and drops–stomach in your mouth kind of drops. That’s about the best blanket statement I can come up with to keep from writing a short story. Maybe I’ll do that as a side project! Actually, aside from my full-time job I’ve got a few side projects up my sleeve. Since my last post a few exciting things have happened. The iPad magazine I write for finally launched! So all of you readers with iPads out there, I highly suggest you check out “JNSQ“! It’s the first independent, multimedia style magazine for iPad. I don’t have an iPad (yet) so I haven’t had the chance to see it in action. If you do download it, don’t forget to write a review! We’d love to know your feedback.

I’m also in the process of revamping a menu for a cafe! It’s a funny story how it happened, but it was in typical New York fashion. Let’s just say that I talk a lot, which has led me to some pretty awesome opportunities. Open attitude + friendly people… that combination can lead to many things!

Now let’s see what food combinations can lead to…

Arame seaweed + tofu + radish + carrots + sesame oil 
Arame + rice + rice vinegar + carrots + sweet potato + cucumber + radish + pickled ginger + avocado + sesame oil and seeds

 I thought of what I would put in my ideal sushi roll and just served it as a sushi bowl.
