Baran, Fruits Basket, Cocktail Weenie Art, and Community Supported Agriculture
I watched an interesting movie today. The title of the movie was "Baran". The movie is a love story based in Iran, circa 2001. Unlike most love stories, there is very little interaction between the two main characters. Everything is implied. The movie did offer an interesting look at Afghans living and working in Iran, although I thought there were some slow moments in there.
On the anime front, I just finished watching the entire "Fruits Basket" series. This is some of the best anime I've seen in a while, in terms of originality, and I highly recommend it to any anime fan. I think my favorite character is probably Kyo. Momiji is a close second, though.
The fresh produce I've been getting from my CSA share has been excellent so far. There's some luscious looking Swiss chard, Russian red kale, mixed salad greens, and pac choi. I even fed some of the greens to the rabbit that lives in front of my house. I think he agreed with me that the greens were tasty. I also purchased a great new cookbook, "Local Flavors", that bases all recipes on Farmer's Market produce. I chose this book for several reasons: 1) the book is focused on seasonal produce, 2) it is mainly a vegetable-oriented book, and 3) the recipe ingredients are few, and uncomplicated to obtain. I'm enjoying cooking at home a lot more now because the produce is so fresh. In the not too distant past, I would just eat out almost all the time.
I saw this cute web site on cocktail weenie art. You have to see it to believe it. There's even instructions on how to assemble the pieces.
Finally, here's a funny link for all you comic art fans out there.
