Jake Weidmann Master Penman

When in school, artist and penman Jake Weidmann watched as his classmates typed their notes in laptops. Weidmann instead took the old-fashioned approach and wrote everything longhand with pen and paper, using every opportunity to practice and perfect his exquisite penmanship. The hard work quickly paid off he’s now one of only a dozen people designated as a master penman—not to mention the youngest by three decades. –thisiscolossal.com

We went to see Joshua Bell at the Hollywood Bowl last night, it was magical. Do you know the story about his violin? You can find it here.

Tonight Treats

I'm responsible for tonights treats. We have Mini Turkish Delight Cookies by Ella and Orna, Tahini Cookies by Sharon Sa'ar (recipe in english here) and Black Currant Friands by Yotam Ottolenghi, recipe here. • For the Friands I used one cup of blueberries and one cup of raspberries instead of fresh currants. I didn't add the melted butter and my 12 cup muffin pan was perfect (it's a different size than mentioned in the book). I got 15 delicious friands. On the first round I used silicon cupcake holders, they are perfect, no need to butter them at all. • Enjoy.

Aspen

We went to Aspen for a few days to spend with family and friends. We had a great time hiking, walking around the beautiful town, shopping, eating in great restaurants and partying every night. What a great vacation.
