"Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing."

Playing with Negative Space (the blog)

The outcome of every decision tells a story, but the other possibilities are often infinitely more intriguing because their story creates a paradox. Each moment that goes overlooked provides a window into another world. It's a lot like focusing on the negative space in the Helvetica character for the lowercase letter "a."

That's a lot of what goes on in my head during the idle moments, and sometimes I write it down or capture a quick photograph of my surroundings. But mostly, I think (and thus blog) about food.

It may be worth nothing that some of the measurements in savory recipes are my best guesses since I rarely actually measure in the kitchen. I'm usually pretty good about measuring when I bake, or at least when I write up a recipe. All eggs are large and all temperatures Fahrenheit. Any unspecified type of flour should be all-purpose or bread—I haven't actually bought any all-purpose in over a year.

I adore bright colors and think that everything, except typeface, should be bold. You can also see my homepage.
