Salvatore Rosa, in a satirical poem about painting, says, "What they abhor in life, they love in painting."
Sal was, I understand, talking about his patrons who paid heavy money for pictures of beggars, the malformed, and other unclubbable people. Why do we like this kind of art in paint, film, et al? Maybe it's related to laughing at slapstick; we're reassured that bad luck could happen, but hasn't. It went elsewhere, as if there's conservation of bad luck and the other guy got all that was available at the moment.

Kabocha squash soup with roasted pepitas...
at Province, on Jefferson, just south of Lake.
Squash dumplings with orange soup poured over them. Big spoon.

Monthaversary!
Since September 10, 1993 (our best guess at the year), the tenth of the month is a celebration.
