Old Pothos, New Home

Image
Pothos is known as the easy-going plant that’s an office mate. It loves to grow its vines under office fluorescent lighting. But this one was bought at a Plant Estate Sale which is tricky. Older plants tend to be set in their ways. They can fall apart quickly in unfamiliar environs. So I didn’t do a re-pot, put it in a bowl, simply trimmed all the brown overgrown bits, untangling the vines, watered it, gave it a little plant food. I’ll get a small clip light for more exposure and to highlight the plant. I have propagated Pothos before. This plant’s vines look too old to be propagated but I am placing some cuttings in water anyway. Plants are funny. The last time I propagated a Pothos, it did become a full plant but didn’t last more than a few seasons.   With its joyful tangles, Pothos is a great houseplant if you are a newbie or are time pressed. #houseplants #planttwitter #pothos

Savory Stuffed Pumpkin

Image
I have been fascinated with trying this ever since chef Daniel Boulud cooked an enormous pumpkin on Anthony Bourdain’s show. In real life, this version is easy, use a sugar pumpkin for cooking. Make a lid with the top of the pumpkin, scoop the inside out, reserve the seeds to roast (Use a fork to separate the seeds, roast 15-20 minutes, with olive oil salt and pepper). Roast the pumpkin at 350 degrees for 2 hours.   Remove from oven and stuff the pumpkin with pre-cooked rice, garlic, cheese, onion, roast tomatoes, a little vegetable broth to soften, then roast for another half hour. Remove from oven. Top the savory mix with the roasted pumpkin seeds, if you like. Nice catering or party trick. #pumpkin #stuffedpumpkin

As insurance rates continue to rise, you can get a quick check of the competition through a network of carriers for your condo or building at Matic, just by plugging in basic information. (Not paid)

Stay True – Hua Hsu

Image
*Spoilers A reminiscence of his college years at Berkeley University in the 90s, Hua Hsu, originally a Bay Area hipster and now a staff writer for The New Yorker, presents us with dualities: the pull of (sometimes obscure) American pop culture for immigrant outsiders such as himself and his father, the pop culture itself, where it’s difficult to discern if high culture or any culture, is really any better than the low; and finally, his earnest, imperfect, complex personal growth, which he is jolted from by the violent death of a close college buddy, Ken, from a car-jacking. Ken, a popular frat guy with an Americanized name, showed him how little a difference it made, if you were in a frat or not, if you were a cool cat who could talk deconstructionism or not, as long as you could stay true, one of the catch phrases of their friendship. If you are interested in the exploration of the interior life, personal growth, the lens of pop culture, particularly the pop culture of the 90s.

I punked out this $1.00 thrifted men’s American Eagle t-shirt myself without being a crafty person.  I just cut right below the seam all around the t-shirt for an oversized, off-the-shoulder look.  Most t-shirt YouTube vids cut above the seam but I kept the seam for effect. This t-shirt can be worn with a base layer underneath. Emboldened, I will attempt a V-neck cut next time around.
