Jage Toba

Through the best connector in the biz, my friend Cheline, I met filmmaker Jage Toba today. He ran programming for PlumTV and made documentaries for Channel 4 in the UK. He has some exciting new projects in the works.

We hit it off instantly (as Cheline no doubt already knew we would.). It was exciting to talk about projects again and hear what he is up to and think that just possibly in this crazy life in the crazy world we may be able to help each other out and at the very least make a connection.

Locanda Verde

I met Cheline for lunch at Locanda Verde in Tribeca. We had a great time as always and the food was good/fine, but nothing was as gastronomically memorable as the Sheeps' Milk Ricotta with sea salt and herbs. It was truly divine. Soft and creamy and the salt and herbs and virgin olive oil made it feel like eating was now a spa treatment.

The grilled bread that accompanied had that audible crunch followed by a falling backward onto down pillows feeling that went so well with this creamy sheepy elixir.

I will think of this dish and I will pop in here and sit and eat just it next time.

And if I don't finish it all (doubtful) I will take the rest home and give myself a facial using the bread as a buff pad.
