Boston art

Boston is running a public art program this winter in an attempt to get people to come back downtown. I can’t say I am a fan of theĀ giant disembodied floating heads but this one is cool. It’s evidently interactive to surrounding people but I didn’t have time to play with it on my way to catch the train.

Mysteries Continue

Whenever I see this sign at the Newton library, I feel like I’m one of those live-action choose-your-own-adventure games.

Usurper

I have always made my dad’s waffle recipe. It’s pretty much straight out of Joy of Cooking, with some adaptations by him, and then by me over the years. But for this year’s New Years brunch we had some extra French bread starter so I made (slightly adapted) Mark Bittman’s “Overnight Waffles”, yeasted waffles. I don’t think I’m ever going back — so light, and crisp yet fluffy even after holding on a pot-luck table.
