chicken curry was a dish that i knew very little about growing up. it was something that my grandmother made for us on sundays & it will forever be stamped as my favorite dish she made. today, it is safe to say that i thoroughly enjoy cooking chicken curry for the family & for myself. here are some different renditions of chicken curry that i've made recently. i must've jinxed sumn because it's chilly now, so maybe no more grilling until next yr. cheers.

at ating mesa, we've been grilling chicken a little bit over the summer. the way it's looking, we may get more grilling thru the year. cheers to that in this thing called global warming.

beautiful people! welcome to ating mesa & the page that supports the collective.

this is the first rendition of the recent close-ups for the ating mesa platform.

these close-ups have been captured from the last month or so & they will include some meals that were cooked for the family & for general consumption.

cheers to more to come. i appreciate the small community that we have created & i am hopeful that this is just the start.

breakfast bagel.

bagel/jammy egg/turkey bacon/raspberry preserves/cream cheese.

lasagna.

pesto/ricotta/tomato.

chicken tortilla soup.

all of the fixings, so i won't harp on all of the ingredients.

glazy carrots.

bourbon/coconut sugar.

soy garlic udon.

by far the best dish in this rendition. if you've ever had a mall near you with the best asian food in the food court, that is what this dish gave. uplifting.

hot lemon pepper wings.

self-explanatory.

tuna melt.

for my people that enjoy the mild breath that tuna lays on your breath after lunch break, this is for y'all. i'm right there with you...a coffee will break it all up, anyway.

sourdoe/tuna salad/havarti.

buffalo chicken dip.

whole chicken/celery/carrot/onion/hot sauce/cream cheese.

* for most of the chicken dishes, a whole chicken was used & carved. to me, it's more conservative because it allows for multiple cuts of meat & it saves you a couple bucks over the course of the week.*

bucatini.

tomato/olive.

@tortello_pastificio in chicago had a wonderful pasta that incorporated some of the same ingredients, so i thought i'd step in the ring & try one of my own. i also will send flowers to @bambambaklava because he also created a similar pasta in his in-studio show on yt.

date & banana bread.

pair with some vanilla ice cream...no more will be said about this loaf. the close-up says everything.

au gratin potatoes.

the heaviest set of potatoes any human will ingest, but there's nothing like it. this is another one of the self-explanatory dishes. iykyk.

cheers to the fall season that is nearing...enjoy some food around good people. soon enough, you all will have chairs at "our table".

ISOKE Prints Now Available for Purchase 🫂

I got the chance to host my first solo gallery on Juneteenth of this year & it was nothing short of life changing. The amount of love & support that was in the room was simply overwhelming. This project almost never saw the light of day & I’m so happy I along with those around me willed it across the finish line.

Seeing this project come to life & be appreciated changed my outlook on my creative process. It’s not what we do it for but the support it obtained solidified my passion even more for true art within this medium. I have to give @skinshape__ (Jacob Lee) his flowers for this project even being what it was. He the heartbeat behind every move we made until the end. Alone I’m good, but together we’re great. & a special thanks to the entire team that brought it to life as well. A team full of incredibly talented & kind people I’m honored to say I’ve worked with. This project is a testament to the fact that you don’t have to be perfect to show up. Thank you for the love. Enjoy🫂
