custom costume...

(ima total nerd...i saw the exhibit and got inspired)

swiss chesse on white bread...

top shelf...

had the opportunity to have dinner at this great restaurant Back Forty while i was in Manhattan. their heirloom tomatoes were sweetest i ever tasted. having grown up on the new jersey beach line...thats saying something.




the next day, i got invited to taste some wine. tables and tables of expensive reds, whites and even champagne for me to try. so there i was...booklet in hand, and i dug in HAHA.





at a tasting, you are supposed to spit out the wine after you sip it. uuuhhh, yeah? i know thats the proper thing and all...but spitting into a bucket on a crowded table wasnt working for me. i decided the only appropriate thing is to get a buzz HAHA. one was priced at a few thousand but my favorite was Chateauneuf-Du Pape Tres VV 2005 at $449 a bottle.




a mirror/self portrait?? ...couldn't resist!!
