Only semi-related, but I've made Will Oldham's double chocolate chess pie countless times since reading the piece in Arthur. Will was hanging out in the lobby of the Wilbur after a show about 5 years ago now (how?!) and I walked up to thank him for sharing that recipe. It took him a second to figure out what I was talking about, but when he did, he broke into a big grin and said "it's good, right?" As a fan, it was cool to share something beyond the usual compliments or request for a signature. I'll have to make Doom's mac soon!

This is awesome, exactly the kind of life-enrichment we were hoping for when we were publishing those recipes/stories in Arthur. Thank you!

This idea of artists, musicians, GARDENS and their caretakers is such a shouting YESyesyES to me, at best I'd want to be personally involved with this project! How wonderful it would be to feast upon the ensuing images in print. Le sigh. But this idea is hot-hot-hot!

Right on! Do you have a specific idea/person/garden in mind...

not specifically, but it's a question I asked Peter from BRMC in my old-school groupie days because it felt accessible and different for two shy people, at the time he said he would like to grow tomatoes on his balcony. That was maybe 2005. A follow-up would be interesting!

I can get most every one of these ingredients within a ten-minute stroll from the crig here up against the Korean DMZ. I can tell this is a prime script for some classic mac and. Thanks for another swell online reading session.
