A gentle and loving little film about life and food, at Real Art Ways through Thursday January 10. It's about Zen priest, cook, and author Edward Espe - and talks about his philosophy of cooking and life, in the kitchen, in the temple, and in the world. Mostly I just sat and drank it all in. My upcoming yoga teacher training is gonna be "food heavy" - note the required cooking classes as well as a required reading list that includes three books related to food and eating. It's part of the reason I'm doing this particular training, because I suspect I could have gone to other trainings and *not* had to go down into the cave with the eating monster. Nah....what fun would THAT be?
I was tickled by the scene with the dumpster diving woman, harvesting fruit from her neighbors tree. When she spotted some dates high up in the tree and looks around quizzically for a long pole to pull the branch down, she suddenly breaks through fourth wall as enlists the sound person's microphone boom. From documentary film maker to accessory to a fruit snatching!

I'm gonna run out and buy a good cleaver this week. And sharpen some of the knives around here. Just because.
