This project has been looming over me for a while
today I finished it.
a monument for my cat

but one day I found a single hair of hers, which had woven it's way
into a scarf I was wearing.
and so i decided to also make a monument
to that single hair (above)

They cut me, separated me, I am going to cut
everything around me, absolutely everything-
I want the monopoly on cutting, the trees
at 342, all the cutters.
I am the tailor who cuts everything.
I cut the books, the stones, the wood, the trees.
I shut them up, I cut them short.
Passive has become active forever, cut arms and
legs, cut their effect, who is guilty?
Who carried out the slicing?
Curse on the cutter, death to the cutter, 30 years
later, 75 years later, always present.

As a small child, Louise Bourgeois used to mold white bread into a figure of her father,
then slowly and deliberately cut off the arms and legs with a knife. She has called this
her "first sculptural solution." A lifetime later, while she enjoys her greatest artistic
recognition at the age of eighty-four, intense feelings rooted in her childhood in
France still come bubbling to the surface to take form in her work.

"Art is an exorcism," she says. "a tool for survival."

HOT LIGHTENING

chunk of butter
a bunch of fingerling potatoes
a few pieces of bacon, cut up
1 tart apple, roughly chopped
1 pear, roughly chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme,(at least) leaves picked
1 tbsp brown sugar

Preheat oven to 325
Melt the butter in a heavy-based pan over a medium heat.
Add the potatoes and bacon and turn over in the buttery juices.

Stir in the fruits, season with salt and pepper, and add the thyme and sugar to taste.
Add a small splash of water to stop the potatoes from catching.

Transfer the pan to the oven (or transfer into roasting dish) and roast for 30 minutes
or until everything is tender and browned. Add another splash of water if everything is
becoming too dry.

FIGS BAKED WITH ORANGE

8 fresh figs
1 large orange
2 tablespoons of orange flower water
2 tablespoons of honey (recipe calls for thyme scented)

Preheat the oven to 300° F. Make crosses in the top of the figs and place them in a gratin dish
in which they will just fit. Juice the orange and mix together the orange juice, orange flower
water and honey. Pour this over the figs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes (I always end up closer to thirty). Leave to cool-
serve warm or out of the fridge for days later.
Thick yogurt, toasted pistachios and candied ginger with the chopped up figs is the bomb.

Also once the figs are gone the juices are good for flavoring yogurt and putting in
banana/milk/almonds smoothie

MOROCCAN BREAKFAST BREAD

Makes 12 rolls

1 orange
700 g (1 ½lb) of plain white flour
100g (3 1/2oz) of white sugar
Good pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
2 tablespoons of poppy seeds
1 tablespoon of fennel seeds
1 sachet (7g / ¼oz) yeast
100 g (3 ½oz) of unsalted butter, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons of orange flower water
1 egg yolk

In a pan, heat 450 ml (16 fl oz) of water and when it is hot add the butter and orange
flower water. Stir until butter has melted. Leave this buttery liquid to cool to room
temperature, 20-30 minutes.
Finely peel the zest of the orange. Put the zest
in a large mixing bowl together with the flour, sugar, salt, all the seeds and yeast.
Make a well in the centre of the flour and add about a quarter of the buttery liquid,
stir in well with a wooden spoon. Continue slowly stirring in the rest of the liquid
until it is all taken up and you have a sticky dough. Dust your hands with flour
and briefly knead the dough for a couple of minutes. Place the dough in a lightly
greased bowl covered with a tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise for a
couple hours- until it has doubled in size.
Knock the dough back down
with your fist and then leave it to rise again. After a couple hours give it a quick
knead and then divide it roughly into 12 balls. Shape each ball into a slightly
flattened round and place on a lightly buttered baking tray, leaving a gap between
each roll so that they do not stick together as they rise. Cover with the tea towel
and leave to rise again.
When you are nearly ready to bake the rolls, preheat
the over to 400°. Beat the egg yolk with a dessertspoon of water and brush this
mixture over the surface of the rolls. Prick each roll once or twice with a skewer.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, until golden and with a
slight crust. Shake to make sure they do not stick to the baking tray and leave
to cool.

Best heated up in the toaster oven/ oven before eating.
Good for keeping frozen in the fridge.

Of all the stars I admired, drenched
in various rivers and mists,
I chose only the one I love,
Since then I sleep with the night.

Of all the waves, one wave and another wave,
green sea, green chill, branchings of green,
I chose only the one wave,
The indivisible wave of your body

All the waterdrops, all the roots
all the threads of light gathered to me here;
they came to me sooner or later

I wanted your hair all for myself
From all the gaces of my homeland offered
I chose only your savage heart.
