dinner at chez howley-hansen, 10/12/08


The outside of Chez Howley-Hansen.






JP recently built this table. The top is two particle board floor tiles and the legs are made from scaffolding struts. Function as aesthetic is my favorite design.











Chez Howley-Hansen is filled with JP's paintings.



















Before dinner, JP and I headed up to the roof to play some guitar. It was a crisp, October evening.






Will Oldham

Jane arrives.






















Domesticity.







Appetizer plate: jamon serrano, apples, sliced baguette, kewpie-mustard (inspired by Dave Chang at Ssam Bar). The Berkshire Ham was eaten already.








Holy baguette portrait.










Workin'.









More workin'.






















Grinding.










Sea bass and mixed lettuce salad.








JP's station.











Gnocchi.









Absinthe was chosen as the degustif.




Burn the sugar.




Pour the absinthe over the sugar.


















Enjoy!

Good times, baby Wu - thanks for making the trek to the Slope.

And to be sure, I have way more hair than Will Oldham.
