I post these things while I'm thinking about other things.

Ham

me:
I feel like david chang is not doing anybody any favors by putting out cookbooks
her:
why?
me:
well, I've just not heard any success stories from these things
her:
ah
me:
your dough is too sweet, all the momofuku recipes I hear involve people dealing with 20 pounds of artisanal ham that they don't know what to do with past the recipe
me:
and believe me, I'm excited to help someone deal with an extra 19 pounds of artisanal ham, but that's a burden
her:
that's a lot of ham to store
me:
if you aren't good friends with me, yes
me:
and I wouldn't call what I do "storing"
her:
temporary storage
me:
you can't get it back.
her:
disposal
me:
there we go.

Notes

Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work and the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will, through work, bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never dream up if you were just sitting around looking for a great art idea. And that a belief in that the process, in a sense, is liberating and that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel everyday. Today you know what you will do, you could be doing what you were doing yesterday and tomorrow you are going to do what you did today and at least for a certain period of time if you can just work to hang in there, you will get somewhere.
