I was bitten by the shy bug.


I'll keep on keeping on. Plenty of contests in the Village Voice as well as Time Out NY.

and go see Rasa at the Burlesque Competition I tagged you in - go say hi to her, tell her Beth from Tranna sent you. She's crazy fabulous and it will be a great night out.

Yes, Tsary, go see Rasa!

wearing: blue jeans, olden thousand times washed henley shirt, now a cloudy sort of pale green, my most sophisticated faux crocks (the dark blue ones)

I tried it a couple of days ago but didn't have the cabbage, mine having died miserably in the fridge. It tasted pretty good anyway then.
drinking: splash of gin, many ice cubes, big squeeze lime, some sugar, some dried apple mint leaves, topped with Apollonaris mineral water. Good, very good.
doing just finishing up roasting red onions with butter/honey/balsamic vinegar, s/p,thyme. Plan is to eventually copy my recent favorite pizza, this one - "Balsalmic glazed onions, crimini mushrooms, gorgonzola, fontina, toasted pine nuts....." I even bought some pine nuts, extravagant for moi.
