callioppe

Fall is here in all of its crisp nostalgia and smoke scented twilight. My palate is ready for spiced ciders, the earthy aroma of sage, chai teas, root vegetables, stews, yeasty fresh breads, and all the other wonderful food memories that this time of year brings back for me. I am always so excited by the change of the seasons even if I live in California and the change is mild, something about the air and atmosphere always sends my head into the clouds.

Last night I went to a Neon Indian show with Fahad and we danced ourselves into an altered state






I've been spending lots of time with text books, learning about carpaccios, minimum internal temperatures, braising, emulsifying, and the difference between Robusta and Arabica coffee beans


Food is such an integral part of my being right now that I have been dreaming about it







And speaking of dreams a friend sent me this interesting video

"The function of dreams may be to prepare us for space." Is, I think, my favorite new dream theory.

I've been lurking fabric stores for Halloween costume projects



Feeding my sweet tooth





Getting my back piece worked on




(and sneaking TTC pictures)



Admiring the internal goings ons of electronic devices



& we recently finished another mannequin head, meet Geraldine and Pierre



Geraldine is a square wave optical theremin and Pierre is a quad oscillator. Fahad recorded them talking to one another

Alright space cadets, Callioppe signing out. Until next time.
