Milwaukee

I am living here for a bit. A stint with Florentine Opera as a Studio Artist will have me and 3 other compatriots residing in a charming hotel till end of May.

I love my room, it is covered in fake flowers but it feels like home...some kind of florist's version of home anyway. Actually I am quite comfortable though my kitchen is tiny and the fridge a bit of a joke. My freezer actually thawed all my items so that I had to salvage what I could about a week ago. We have a very respectable grocery market within close proximity, and the Soprano and I spend evenings wondering through the isles, as she be a foodie too.

One thing I have learned from the short time I have lived in my studio. Portion size is important. You can't go making a whole mess o'food, because A: you have no where to prep such an amount, and B: you cannot possibly store said food in your tiny fridge.

More to come.

Pavarotti on food...

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright, Pavarotti, My Own Story
