coworking in bushwick
Even more than philanthrocapitalism (and Shake Shack), Jason is into rebuilding soils with his company, re:char; I like knowing people whose work I don’t quite understand, and I may visit his workshop this spring to learn what “fast pyrolysis biochar system development” actually means.
This morning began with a croissant warmed in the oven, then spread with homemade butter and some of the honeycomb Nina brought from D.C. before I gathered vegetables and headed over to Bushwick, a somewhat remote area of Brooklyn, where my friend Dean lives.
For a relaxed lunch to celebrate the inaugural meeting of Coworking Bushwick, I sliced fractal cauliflower and purple haze carrots, roasting them next to a serious piece of pork shoulder we procured at the Union Square Greenmarket on Wednesday.
Dean made a chimichurri sauce with his serious knife skills (this is all chopped by hand),
and he programmed the rice cooker to handle freekeh (roasted green spelt) from Cayuga Organics, also at yesterday’s market. The freekeh matched the roasted pork shoulder, its crunchy crust, and carrots that retained their purple; the wheat contains a decent amount of protein, making the ancient grain a nice base for a vegetarian meal. Also, it’s fun to say ‘freekeh.’
Soon after lunch, keys were clicking again and code was implemented as the coworking continued into the afternoon, making me think about how nice it is to work from different venues, and especially places with bright, sunny kitchens full of people as attached to their computers as I am…
