spotted in crouch end. interesting.

mixing it up

i've been cooking like a demon this last week and think it has now become a form of surrogate DJing. the crowd is smaller (between 1 and 10 people these days ), and i get to bed earlier (most of the time) but the principles are very similar.
influences: inspiring chefs/favourite DJ's, tools: dual oven/turntables, trainspottingness: rare breeds/rare vinyl, technique:chopping & stirring/scratching & mixing, turn up the gas/bass. Both are equally focussed on experimentation and pleasuring people, i wonder if Dino cooks?

relevant, personalised (Fin's peg at nursery) clear takeout with a call to action

more love

paternity leave i'm finding, is a time heavy on emotion. there was the birth itself which was absolute magic, sudden, exhausting, raw, uncut, a totally pure human experience. i'll never forget it. there's the endless visits from family and friends, all giving you big love. and then seeing my young son acknowldege his new baby sister. that's a proper choker.
it's also odd having your mind abruptly removed from work. one minute presenting to clients the next cutting an umbilical cord on my sofa. i haven't got much time for blogging right now. too much going on and my blog is in danger of becoming full of dadisms. this clip was inspired by beeker's Stevie Wonder post. this was my wedding song, my first dance and it makes me smile right now.
