Sometimes cooking food is pure relaxation. Most of the time it´s just stressful to think of something to eat, prepare it, eat it and digest. Today I went crazy and spent some time in the kitchen. I braised chicken in wasabi, sesame seeds and shoyu soy sace. There was steamed broccoli. Puilly lentils cooked in broth and made into a salad with fresh tomates and home grown cilantro. I cooked som shallots with butter and cream (pardonnes moi Weight Watchers but they were like sweets).
The weather here is funky, it´s too warm for the season. You´re not allowed to put on the grill in your garden in fear of fires. It feels like late august and it´s just total relaxation being outside reading Haruki Murakamis Blind Willow, Sleeping woman.
July 9th I´ll be seeing Lou Reed perform his album Berlin with New Londons Children Choir and the band consisting of Rupert Christie, Steve Hunter, Fernando Saunders, Rob Wasserman, Tony “Thunder” Smith and Mike Rathke. I think Berlin is an amazing album that has been sort of neglected so I´m stoked about seeing the show.

Neat!
Cooking is relaxation. Albeit a tad stressful at first if you don’t know what the hell you’re doing. Like, er, me ;-) Tonight a friend is coming over and she’s teaching me everything I’ve ever wanted to know about cooking Cornish Hens. Should be fun ;-)
