Thor sent this root vegetable special from New York City after attending Maira Kalman’s holiday sale. Weirdly wonderful, stored it in the fridge not sure exactly how to preserve it outside of a photograph. In hindsight I wonder if it may have found a forever life sealed in acrylic like those dandelion paperweights (see image below).

RECOLLECTION

December 16, 2023

Just off the telephone with Thor after asking him if this was a beet, radish or rutabaga. That detail was inconclusive but we had a lovely conversations about:

• The fact that he dropped by Maira’s 2023 Holiday Pop-up today.
• Her son’s Mmuseumm
• The tableware used in nice restaurants featured in this CBS Sunday Morning segment
• A conversation and cookbook with Daniel Humm
• My upcoming birthday
• Holiday plans
• Adding Auntie Mame (1958) to my watch list
