Reminded today of my most notorious early-pandemic wild-eyed kitchen experiment/utter failure, which I have yet to live down: Cheese ramen
I don’t mind saying that I do a lot of badass things in the kitchen and otherwise. This was not one of them

believe me when I tell you that this excerpt from the VOICE interview linked above made my eyes fill with actual tears:
![Screenshot of an interview in THE VILLAGE VOICE, Ron Hart talking with Matthew Shipp, published June 18, 2025:
Hart: Are you nervous about going to Texas the way it is these days?
Shipp: Well, I've played in Houston quite a bit over the years and I've always really enjoyed playing there. There's an audience for the music there. I have food for the audience
that needs to ingest it. Whatever Texas is as a state has no bearing on me going there with the spiritual food that I have for the people who need it.
Hart: They can't stop you from playing jazz.
Shipp: [Laughs] No, the Republicans in Texas are not gonna stop me from playing jazz.
I am a law-abiding citizen who plays jazz and I hate Donald Trump. Last time I checked the Constitution, I have every right to hate Donald Trump.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbk2s6aoqoxxizozqvl4jv4x/bafkreicgtdbaleheq26qepirk5npx6yajz7zmz7kfgl5p5umes3ac67bvu@jpeg)

THE KALEIDOSCOPE MAKER (1986) The proprietress (Mary Woronov) of a kaleidoscope shop begins to lose her sight. With the help of her old flame (Bo Svenson), she works to develop a tactile kaleidoscope before she can no longer see. The poignant scenes filmed from her point of view are not to be missed
