And thus begins my posting about my obsession with words, especially those of the German variety for which there is no equivalent in English. What a beautiful emotion! What a perfect mot!
…because Schadenfreude is so last year…
A periodic table of the elements in my quest for beauty.
"We must ask of reality: how important is it, really? And: how important, really, is the Factual? Of course, we can’t disregard the factual; it has normative power. But it can never give us the kind of illumination, the ecstatic flash, from which Truth emerges."

When Lara’s Aunties Take The Subway: A Spike Lee Joint
One-derful Moments

Happy Birthday, Lara. We love you.
Haven’t made a birthday cake in at least 2 years but what better occasion to rekindle the fire than to celebrate a full year of Lara in our lives.
Gris comme une 🐭
It’s been a while since I’ve had an excuse to make my apple, cheddar and bacon frittata. What better way to say farewell? What better use of my new @mauvielusa / @mauviel.1830 mini rondeau pan? And what better dish and day to start using the Zatar I brought back from the kitchen of the iconic King David Hotel in Jerusalem?
Thank you, @emirates. That @djokernole stan and this @rafaelnadal fan had the time of our lives at this year ‘s @usopen.

The end of the US open is always a sad time as it ostensibly marks the beginning of a tennis lull that lasts until January. What is a life whose soundtrack is not groundstrokes (haha!). This Open gave us that unforgettable Rafa/Theim match, the reestablishment of the dominance of Nole, and the beautiful narrative of a powerful new champion in @naomiosakatennis . How can one not be a little sad in the quiet after such a storm? And this year I’m all the sadder because this dear friend’s visit has come to an end along with the open. It was a visit for the ages, characterised by plenteous laughter, copious amounts of food, and Moana and Mozart sing alongs. Total bliss. I’m overcome with gratitude.
