Cynar is a strange, horrible tasting Italian disgestivo. I liken it to drinking sweetened gasoline. It's made from the beloved artichoke. Next time you visit a true Italian restaurant ask for one after your meal. You won't believe how awful it is (but your tummy will be well-settled).

"Tim's Table"


I am so fortunate to be represented at Holton Studio Gallery in Berkeley, California, where Tim Holton and his craftsmen create the most beautiful frames. They instantly make our work look better! I confess that my favorite part of visiting isn't seeing the framed pieces, but going behind the scenes to scope out the workshop, where the dust is thick and there are tools strewn everywhere. Here's an image I did of Tim's work area, where he still creates his frames by hand. It's worth visiting his place if you're in the Bay Area.
