In the oven

Yeast is so demanding of patience, but worth it. I made bread last weekend. My obsession with hummus continues.

Roll Model

University of California, Berkeley claims the record for longest California roll, taking it away from somewhere in Hawai'i. All it took was 102 pounds of dry rice, 582 sheets of seaweed, 67 pounds of avocado, 65 pounds of cucumber, and 167 pounds of imitation crab meat. The whole thing was 330 feet long. Of 57 tables, the last two were vegetarian. It was verified by Japanese Consul General Yasumasa Nagamine. This event was part of a year long celebration for the 50th anniversary of the Center of Japanese Studies.

Re-used

The window "curtains" at the Plastiki exhibit at Pier 45 in San Francisco. Cool form of of reuse and created luminous mood lighting. Must be difficult to open the blinds.
