A piece inspired by a piece

Runnin' from what's chasin' me
Hopin' to appear as a phantom to what's real, what's right
Disappearin' from those I know and don't
No promises just lies
the same ones been chasin' me for a while
Thought I killed em but I just got around em
Looks like the bramble finally got a hold
pullin' me down
no more runnin'
just crawlin', eatin' dirt
like runnin' through molasses
a field of flowers whose petals are broken glass
tearin' me apart

Propriety

I would like to be perceived in this way:

"Instead of being restrained by a sense of propriety, it is a sense of propriety which inspires my actions"
Marie de Lafayette
Princesse de Cleves

"Murder in the City"

The Avett Brothers

If I get murdered in the city
Don’t go revengin in my name
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away

When I leave your arms
The things that I think of
No need to get over ??
I’m comin home

I wonder which brother is better
Which one our parents love the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They said to let the other go

A tear fell from my father’s eyes
I wondered what my dad would say
He said I love you
And I’m proud of you both, in so many different ways

If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don’t worry with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list

Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember, there is nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
Always remember, there is nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name

I love Gwyneth Paltrow's chic outfit in this photo. These colors are timeless and flattering. I adore the riding boots with tights and the short dress. I love the simplicity, yet sheer brilliance and quality of each piece she wears. Bravo Gwyneth!
The second photo is something I love to wear. The cardigan with the little dress and belt is just the right balance of casual and sleek. ooh la la.

Clothing is a pretty essential part of my life. I know that this sounds incredibly superficial, but I mean that for me it is an expression of how I feel. I absolutely believe that clothing is art. It takes me just about as much time to put on an outfit like this as it does a pair of jeans and T-shirt, but you just have to get good at it. I like to see how other people dress as well. The colors, cuts, and small intricacies on people's clothes are exhilarating. Again, detail captures my attention and so clothes, like food, are yet another example of the creative process from something simple to something distinguished, a thing of beauty.

La Cuisine

Training the palate is a very difficult thing to do in America where even our bread form the grocery is chocked full of sugar and preservatives. Since we were kids, most of us have been eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Oreos and chips; and I am not so sure that we have grown out of these cravings. The key to obtaining a "refined" palate is not so much about eating expensive meals or going completely organic, whatever that means, it is about the ability to desire things that taste good in their simplest form. Working from that form and creating deliciousness without adding too much to the fundamental ingredient. The so-called art of cooking emerges from this idea that one can take something like a goose liver and make Fois Gras. Chocolate loses its rich, distinct flavor as more milk and sugar are added to it. Milk chocolate tastes good because we have trained our palate to enjoy the sugar and not what is hidden beneath the mounds of granules: the cacao bean. The beauty in a piece of 70-85% dark chocolate is the subtlety of flavors. The robust cacao zings the taste buds with its sharpness, then finishes with a smooth, delicate sweetness that lingers in the mouth, balancing perfectly the different notes like a melody with a good harmony. The harmony, in this case the sugar, must be subtle in order to enhance the performance. The variation in flavor is crucial just like in a good wine, producing a flavor that intrigues yet satisfies. The chocolate tells a story. A good way to check if something is truly good is if you can describe out loud the flavor.

Just as important as the food telling a story in your mouth is the process of preparation. We can fully enjoy the food when we are a part of the process. Whether it be growing the ingredients, preparing the actual meal or just partaking in the result. The complete joy derives from being a part of all three, but we can't expect always to get to do this.
