MARTES CON JUAN

Juan makes me tacos probably twice a week and I usually eat five, no big deal they're that good. Tonight is the first incarnation of Eating With Juan, the new Tuesday night happening at Luce where you too can eat five tacos, or actually tonight a plate of amazing Yucateca food and ceviche plus beer and wine. Muy autentica. From 4 to 9, or until food runs out. DO IT.

I was super excited about my felted pony feet!

I really thought this meal was beautiful and interesting, the food and wine moved from dark to bright, from earth to sky, from heavy to light. Sadly there is no photo of my favorite part, which was those seven glasses filled with their seven corresponding wines, the rich reds to bright cherries on the left, pink Txakoli the center of the arrow and electric yellow Rioja to pale sparkling on the right. It was beautiful, not to mention spectacular to drink! Giovanna and I will have to recreate it.

Clear light is a state of mind which becomes fully manifest only as a consequence of certain sequences or stages of dissolution, where the mind becomes devoid of certain types of obscurations, which are again metaphorically described in terms of sun-like, moonlike and darkness -Dali Llama
