I agree from the other side: I would love to be able to master an omelet, but have never taken the time to perfect it. They really are impressive!

So Tanveer, just how many omelets did you make with that barn-sized bunch of cilantro I sent home after NB3? It probably could have sustained an NB3 brunch, there was so much of it!

if i’m not mistaken, tanveer, there is a certain longing buried beneath your nimble prose and extended metaphor: the longing to demonstrate your culinary prowess to me with a perfectly prepared cilantro omelet. no problem, buddy, i’d be happy to help out in any way i can.

That’s funny what Cate said. To this day, I feel my best dish is still an egg omelet, even if I have learned to make more complicated, and perhaps more crowd-pleasing dishes and curries. It’s not even about what I put in the omelet, it’s more about the way of preparing it — heating up the oil just right, getting it a little burnt and crispy on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside. (also, secret ingredient = cilantro!). I’m always disappointed if one of those elements didn’t come out right even if the ingredients were delicious.

I suppose the same principle can be applied to drawing a pair of hands. Nice post!

hah! i wish i were sufficiently apathetic to the scorn of others to do such a thing. i already get more unimpressed glares than i should like just for riding the subways in flip-flops.

also, i wish my feet were that dainty: the top sketch, which happened after i got home that night, is actually girlcate fondling her own naked foot on the big gay purple futon. crazy how quickly a drawing can go from sketchy to kind of exciting, right?

Were you fondling your naked foot on the subway? You sketchy bastard!
