I love canned food and tinned fish. I used to have such an aversion to the stuff as a kid but now I'm all in again. Lots of faves, but I keep returning to these fried mussels. My favorite way as of late is on a thick slab of sourdough, with some miso shallot butter (sorry....) and a lil parm, hot sauce, and chives on top. heaven, believe me!

I've been aggressively marketed Fishwife brand tinned fish, but I don't really feel like paying the $30 for three tins and then waiting for shipping. So the other week, my girlfriend and I went to Whole Foods to buy various tins of other, less fancy tinned fish. Whole Foods is pretty fancy as it is, so it may seem counter-intuitive that we went there to spend money on cheaper tinned fish, but all of our other area grocery stores basically only sell canned tuna. Anyway, I got some tinned mussels there and I liked them a lot. I ate them with some toasted bread and it made me feel not unlike a house cat. I would recommend it to anyone who would also like to feel like a house cat. Shouldn't we all be more like house cats?

Deceptively easy and super sexy! Mussels are very cheap but they seem expensive. If you’re nervous about cooking seafood, fear not! It’s easy to determine if the mussels are good or bad depending on if they open when steamed. Get some good crusty bread and good cold wine and enjoy!!!

I valued the idea of being low maintenance and chill for so long and I don't know if it's been living in LA and or being around more rich people but I realized recently that it is all a lie. every single person that is effortlessly “just being themselves” is lying. They are getting acupuncture and lymphatic drainage and taking pilates and yoga 3 times a week and getting facials and layering $90 serums and creams on top of their face and going to erewhon 80 times a day to get probiotic water that does not exist. they are a project. and guess what? so am I! sometimes it's nice.

so nice finishing something or having a friend finish something and then swapping that book. sharing things with your loved ones? making memories tactile? it's nice! (some that I've given or received that I've loved as of late: why fish don't exist - lulu miller, clarice lispector - an apprenticeship, how to do nothing - jenny odell, stay true - hua hsu)

The world's tough place. There's lots of movies I want to see and because of the dumbest corporate reasons, lots of times they're unavailable or only available to buy on a streaming service. At that point I'd rather just get a blu-ray (s/o walmart dot com and the kino lorber sale...) but if I can't find one, or if it's $50, I'll straight up just see if it's avail to watch on youtube or through the internet archive and a lot of times it is. The quality might not be great, but that's okay. It's important to not get what you want sometimes in life. (Elaine May's A New Leaf, Scorsese's Kundun, Todd Solondz' Happiness, Akira Kuroswa's Dreams, Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Sleuth etc. etc.)
