Unfinished Projects

Yesterday I tried poaching eggs for the first time. I don’t think that I’m doing it quite right yet, but my third egg was much better than my first. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any Radio Zero to listen to (“music you can poach an egg to”), but I think that their web presence has faded since J. stopped doing the show.

The poached egg is served on a toasted Med bagel, with shaved parmesan and pistou. Evidently, pistou is French for pesto. It also seems a little bit different, with more olive oil, less garlic, and no parmesan. I got the recipe out of Bon Appétit.

It’s been a really long time since I last posted here. However, I did just finish up one of the things that has been keeping me busy for a bit too long*. Follow this link to find a long description, with pictures, of the really cool trip to Japan that I took back in May.

One exciting little event was that the Reader published their annual ‘Best of Chicago’ issue. WHPK was chosen as the best college radio station, and Jenn and I got a shout out specifically. Now I just need to work some more creepy odes into the next broadcast…

*Other things that have been keeping me busy for too long are Giles Goat-Boy, brewing beer, and of course, QUIET.
