I have long wondered why, at 2pm on a Tuesday, there are so many people wandering the streets of San Francisco: exercising, shopping, going to the movies, gabbing on the phone. Don't these people work? Why are consumer businesses even open from 9-5 Monday through Friday when the majority of the population is at the office?

Why? Because (insert self-referential expletive) not everyone is me.

Madonnaphobia

2010-03-29T13:15:00.000-07:00

Granduca Madonna, Raphael (1504)

When I was 11 or 12, my family took a trip to Italy. My artist mother and historian brother were largely responsible for our destinations: churches and museums. While any logical person would agree museum and church-going is must-do when exploring Florence and surrounding towns, 11 year old girls will disagree. I wanted to go to the beach. Museums are for the birds, I thought, I want to swim in the Mediterranean.

My pleas fell on deaf ears, and by the 4th or 5th day of church-going I loudly proclaimed in the middle of the Uffizi that I suffered from Madonnaphobia and Jesusitis. These disease were life-threatening and cured only my the cool waters of the Mediterranean sea.

Over a dozen years later, I finally feel validated. I was severely infected, only I had the name wrong.

Toyota Says Sorry

My dad taught me to always own up to my mistakes, and I try (read: I don't always but I have the best intentions) to make honesty my policy. Tonight (for the first time, maybe ever) I saw a large corporation do just that. Toyota is airing a pretty fantastic ad on all the major networks addressing the recent (massive) recall. While it's hard to forgive such a significant foible, Toyota's Marketing team nailed with the honesty-is-the-best-policy approach.

Recipe: The Violet Beauregarde

2009-10-05T15:51:00.000-07:00

The Violet Beauregarde*

1 oz gin (we recommend New Amsterdam, which is both thrifty and decent)
3 oz tonic
A splash of violet liqueur (we recommend Rothman & Winter Creme de Violette, available at Zipp’s)
Ice
Lowball glass

Throw four or five small ice cubes into the lowball glass. Pour in an ounce of gin, and then three ounces of tonic. Stir briefly. Splash in enough violet liqueur to give the drink a light purple tint — use restraint!

Molotov Cocktail

Image Courtesy of e-How

How I'm describing one aspect of my life at the moment: a Molotov cocktail.

Definition:
The Molotov cocktail, also known as the petrol bomb, gasoline bomb, or Molotov bomb, or simply Molotov, is a generic name used for a variety of improvised incendiary weapons. They are frequently used by rioters due to their relatively easy mode of production.
- Wikipedia

The key takeaway: just because something seems relatively easy to build doesn't mean it can't be massively destructive.

2009-09-22T23:32:00.000-07:00

This one probably makes it onto my the Top Five Shows of All Time list...

Five favorite moments:

Justin Vernon's "little brother" Mikey* covering Graham Nash's Simple Man.**
Vernon, solo beneath a spotlight, for a moving performance of Re: Stacks. He skipped this one in last year's show at Outside Lands, so I was pretty happy he made up for it this time around.
He wrapped the pre-encore show with a little audience participation I can actually appreciate. The crowd joined in for the repetition in The Wolves, climaxing in a mighty yell. Screaming = the ultimate release.
As a band we only have, like, ten songs. So you know, we gotta stretch em out." - JV
"Anyone like House of Nanking? I had lunch there today... the best lunch probably ever." - JV. Man knows his Chinese food.

* thanks to Wikipedia, I know Mikey is not Vernon's younger brother, but his former guitar student.

You're Invited: Join the Recessionista Club

2009-09-10T16:02:00.000-07:00

Get on the cash saving train! CH and I are living by new rules - see below:

1. Don't talk about Recessionista Club. What? No! Talk about it, brag about it. It's cool to save big bucks. (insert Comcast commercial)

2. It's okay to eat nothing but Cheerios for two weeks instead of returning your new jeans.

3. People make money in lots of creative ways. You can too. Try:

Focus groups: Ecker Research or Fleischman Field Research (Bay Area only)
Sell your clothes: Cris for high-end, Crossroads for everything else
Sell your DVDs: These will be worthless soon, so you might as well sell them now. Digitize with Handbrake and save to your hard drive, then bring them to Streetlight or Rasputin. If you sell more than 10 at Rasputin they'll give you a coupon for a free slice at Blondies. Cash + free dinner = big score.
Babysitting: This is a cash cow. Tax free, upwards of $15/hr and access to premium cable for an evening.
Tutoring: I haven't tried this one but apparently you can make serious cash helping 6th graders with their math homework. Assuming you can do 6th grade math. Questionable...

4. You don't have to shell out tons of money to have a good time in this city:

Art events: First Thursdays at 49 Geary offer fine art, and often free wine and snacks. Some auction house sales and openings will as well.
Free movies in Dolores Park

5. Two words: Trader Joe's. Stay the hell away from Whole Foods for the love of god. Unless of course you're going for the Chicken Chili Verde. Hidden in the soup section, this tasty treat offers enough food for 4 meals for only $12, and it comes in a cute Mason jar for you to keep.

6. Black beans: Dirt cheap and nutritious. Check out my old Brian's Beans post for a good recipe.

7. If you work someplace with a kitchen like CH and I, make the most of it. Leftover breakfast foods like a bagel with peanut butter make a pretty satisfying (and free) lunch.

8. Take the bus. Not as glamorous or efficient as a taxi, but your wallet will thank you. Use the extra time to dig around in your iPod for forgotten favorites. Or better yet, read a book. (novel concept, pun intended)

9. Shop in your own closet. You might be surprised what you find and what can be easily cropped, pinned, tucked and rolled to look cooler than when you bought it.

What's for Dinner?

2009-08-05T11:49:00.000-07:00

A couple hits from last night's dinner...

Tomatillo and Shrimp Shooters (Courtesy of Rachael Ray)

Ingredients:
12 store-bought cooked shrimp
Juice of 2 limes, divided
1 jar good quality tomatillo salsa
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 shot glasses

Instructions:
In a medium mixing bowl, toss shrimp and juice of 1 lime together.
In another mixing bowl combine the tomatillo salsa with cilantro, parsley, lime juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fill the shot glasses with the tomatillo salsa mixture and stick one shrimp in or off the side of each shot glass.
Yields 12 shooters

Bacon-Wrapped Dried Plums with Blue Cheese and Balsamic-Honey Glaze (Courtesy of Parties that Cook)

Ingredients:
9 ounces of thinly-sliced bacon, cut in half
2 ounces soft blue cheese
3 ounces cream cheese
∏ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Pinch of kosher salt
24 pitted dried plums (prunes)
1/2 cup balsamic
1 1/2 Tablespoons honey

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Bacon: Lay the cut bacon on a cooling rack over a sheet pan. Transfer to the oven and partially cook the bacon (only 5 minutes).

Make Stuffing: Using a hand mixer or fork, mix the blue cheese and cream cheese together. Add the thyme and salt. Chill in freezer for 5 minutes.

Stuff Prunes: Using a pastry bag fitted with π-inch tip, stuff each prune with 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture. Wrap with a piece of partially cooked bacon and fasten with a toothpick.

Broil: Place on a baking pan and broil on one side until the bacon starts to brown (about 2-3 minutes). Turn and finish cooking until the bacon is crisp (another 2-3 minutes). If left too long under the broiler, the cheese will melt and ooze out. Transfer to a platter, garnish platter with a few sprigs of thyme.

Balsamic Glaze: Combine balsamic and honey in a sauté pan and simmer/reduce for 2 minutes. Drizzle or brush over plated prunes.

Starbucks is getting back to their roots as a local coffee spot. Who's fooled?

The Noisettes at Rickshaw Stop

2009-07-29T14:04:00.000-07:00

For a relatively anti-climatic new album, the Noisettes show last night was spectacular. Lead singer Shingai Shoniwa is total super-star - shockingly beautiful with seemingly limitless energy and a flare for the dramatic. Oh and she plays bass. That's rad, and she knows it.

She bounced around stage for a couple hours, her rich, raspy vocals never skipping a beat. Just when you thought she couldn't get much cooler, she emerged in the back of the club for her encore and literally swung from the rafters while belting a sultry ballad. If her band can settle on a theme (they waver between Sharon Jones-esque soul and Rolling Stones rock and are in desperate need of a more cohesive vibe, in my opinion) they could go a long way. That said, I'd prefer she fly solo. Shingai is a much better name anyway...
