There is an unre­lent­ing beauty to cook­ing. Today when we were cook­ing I took shots of a cou­ple espe­cially beau­ti­ful processes. This is the story of mak­ing cran­berry rel­ish. The color and the shapes are deli­cious. The rel­ish was a per­fect mix of tart, sweet, and peppery.

The pho­tos are taken with my Iphone 4s with Insta­gram so I could share them.

PUBLIC D3 from PUBLIC Bikes on Vimeo.

Ok, I have now put this under my objects of desire. The per­fect city bike. Maybe I’ll sell the ones I have and buy one of these pup­pies. Would be great for trav­el­ing back and forth to the art studio.

Comes in orange, yum.

It was an incred­i­bly hot day.The sky was flat, almost white.

We had been walik­ing and walk­ing, and walk­ing now we were at the top. It was time to look for a glass of wine and a com­fort­able place in the shade. (This is when I was still shoot­ing film on a reg­u­lar basis.) I can replay this day so that my mem­ory equals truth.

word today: gelato

By: ste!!a

Gelato dif­fers from ice cream in that it has a lower but­ter­fat con­tent, typ­i­cally gelato con­tains 4–8% ver­sus 14% for ice cream. Gelato gen­er­ally has slightly lower sugar con­tent, aver­ag­ing between 16–22% ver­sus approx­i­mately 21% for ice cream. Non-fat milk is added as a solid. The sugar con­tent in gelato is pre­cisely bal­anced with the water con­tent to act as an anti-freeze, that is, to pre­vent the gelato from freez­ing solid. The types of sugar used are sucrose and dex­trose and invert sugar to con­trol the appar­ent sweet­ness. Typ­i­cally, gelato and Ital­ian sor­bet con­tain a sta­bi­liz­ing base. Egg yolks are used in yel­low cus­tard–based gelato fla­vors, includ­ing zabaione and creme caramel.
