Ambrosia Express Fish Curry
Curry was the first food to open my mind to spice and heat, and remains a perpetual favorite. One of my ten curries was made by Neil, a very kind and talented Nepalese cook who used to work at Ambrosia Indian Bistro on Cannery Row. I think I got pretty close to the recipe this … Continue reading
Bibliophagy and Condiments: Crossing the streams
I sate my hunger for food and information with the mindset of a buffet enthusiast. I pile my plate with books that have interesting covers, with books that friends want to share, and in order to help me to complete projects or improve processes.

Nothing really took over the place of Higo Blog. Posting on Facebook just wasn’t the same, and actually started feeling like a fax of a xeroxed picture. … Continue reading
Sharpie Art
This past weekend I got a chance to bust out my markers on my dive float as Alex Norton (very talented artist and tuna whisperer) burned a boar’s skeleton into a wooden sheath that pairs with a bone handled hunting knife. I started with the outline of the suction cups on the arm … Continue reading
Big Sur River: After Rain
On days when there is threat of rain, when you exhale steam, and when it hurts to get out from under the covers, it is often rewarding to push all reservations aside and to go play outside.
