Spring snow …. That whole cycle of books is really sublime. He’s also so interesting, if you really want to be in contact with his weird brain his memoir about body building is crazy. his novella star is a good intro just cause it’s short and perverse.

This is something the whole family can enjoy. While I’m not really a fan of Rob Smithson’s art (think the spiral jetty film is better than the actual thing, kind of a silly looking creation no?) his writing is really great, sort of reeks of auto-didact vibes but there’s a contagious curiosity to all the shit even if you’re not certain on what he’s talking about. A really fierce intelligence with regards to the imbrication of the anthropocentric landscape, language, and industrial conditions writ large. It’s also just fun. On a sappier level I like reading this stuff because it reminds me to approach everything as a novice. The phrase “ruins in reverse” from A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey (1967) has haunted me for a while now.

The thing on the book says essays in praise of excess which I thought idk would be like about kitsch John waters type shit which would have been tight but it’s about a lot of things?? it’s been very good summer reading and a lot of good things here besides being good and enjoyable it’s jump starting a lot of topics for my own writing

Oh god!!!! lentils!!! You can eat them for days in a variety of ways
Sauté onion, celery, carrots or PARSNIPS
Get some tomato paste and MISO mixed and melted
Cumin, paprika, curry mixes
Lentils, a cup?
Salt obvi
Water, enough to cover and then some (you can always add more)
Bring to boil, cover, reduce
check water levels now and then. should not be soupy, not dry, just a lil saucy wetness
Taste

Taste, chefs kiss?
I eat with a side of lemony arugula and topped with an egg dotted w hot sauce

I made one for summer (kayak, eat corn!) and forgot to make one for fall+winter. Gonna do a spring bucket list (planting, marshy hikes b4 it gets ticky). Doesn’t have to be on theme even but it’s a nice way to engage in the fleeting seasons
