The quintessential midwest Christmas cookie, by Mrs. Ehrler.
There are always more than enough cookies to go around at Christmas and this has always been facilitated by Grandma and Mrs. Ehrler's cookie swapping. Grandma cooks dozens upon dozens and Mrs. Ehrler outdoes her multiple times over. We reap the spoils.

To roast garlic in the skin, you remove the top and drizzle the bottom with olive oil and salt. When you look at the top, it looks like a bunch of little larva in a wasp nest. You get weirded out. If you are me.

I've been saying goodbye to the issues of a previous life. I'm not sure how many magazines I acquired during the mid 00's, but it was a period of mass consumption in which I tolerated the idea of buying a $28 copy of Eye four times per year. Those magazines, a perennial source of inspiration, will of course be traveling with me. Most of the rest will have to be disposed of, likely recycled.

This fridge, once a bounty of Epicurean delight, has been reduced to essentials and condiments.
It's hard to look at the fridge like this. Oh, the great times we once had together!
I'll be moving to NYC this winter. Part of the process has been the planned exhaustion of resources. I just can't bear to think of produce as jetsam. I've been using it up as best I can, far too often at the expense of my taste and dignity.
That's not my Pabst in the back. Somebody left it there.

Over the course of the 2 weeks in NYC for the FTMTU drumming gig, I slept in a variety of places and saw a lot of the city. These are some highlights.
The view from the top floor of the apartment at which we squatted for a few nights. For those just joining us, that's Senti, composer.

Joe and Ben, new to the Lawrenceville as of this summer, hosted this year's
event. They called it a Pot Luck. Pot Luck on Labor Day? How? Why? They didn't have a grill. What's a party on Labor Day without
a grill for fire and Meat? It's Un-American. I can't let my friends be traitors.
On top of all that, they didn't have a backyard or rooftop to even put a grill. We improvised. I took my tube grill down Butler St. the 12 blocks to their place. We set up on the sidewalk of Butler street and made fire.
