Pursue this...

"The person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which. They simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace in whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them, they are always doing both." - From the Zen Buddhist Text

Heartichoke: An evening of french inspired cuisine...

A couple of my wonderful friends, here in Portland, were nice enough to ask a few of our friends and I to sample a 5 course meal they were planning to make a week later for paid attendees. It was a wonderful night of great conversation, wine and delicious food. I hope the photos speak for themselves.
