| thanks to sasha, my dad, sajad, and all of the other folks who sent me this!?! photo by lucas foglia |
sheesh. foiled again. but happy, nonetheless.
about fifteen minutes before we took that photo, i swiped anya's bike (the cadillac of all bikes) and rode frantically around jack london square looking for a big old wild fennel plant to bring in as a prop, since they only had corn stalks, which seemed so wrong for a shot of foragers and cooks. but all of the good wild fennel stalks were on the inside of chain link fences and i didn't feel like jumping a fence in my fancy jeans. finally, i saw this one, beautiful green plant when i was riding around the edges of laney college. the problem? it was on the other side of the divider separating me from the freeway off-ramp.
i delicately got off the bike and walked it about 30 yards up the off-ramp, hacked that plant down with my bread knife, slung it across the bike basket, and then risked my life as i teeter-tottered the bike the twelve or so blocks back to the office. i may have caused a few car accidents. not sure.

ReplyDeleteAloha Samin,
ReplyDeleteYou totally look badass in this picture..... I wish they could have included your little story on how that plant got in the photo too!
