'This array of beautiful colors, they’re bigger than you would expect, and really cool flavors. I know it may not be cutting edge in that world, but the way it’s been Martha Stewart-ized really gets me.' Read Rob Pruitt's GrubDiet
Rob Pruitt and Gilda Pruitt enjoying some of their favorite food and beverages. Illustration: Lindsay Mound The artist Rob Pruitt is happy to admit that he’s susceptible to good design. Take, for example, the clean-looking pastel cans of Recess seltzer. “I enjoy the flavors, but it’s really that seductive packaging that I like so much,” Pruitt confesses. “The cans look just like my painting — maybe it’s the narcissist in me, but I like having them around the studio.
Last week when I was scrolling through Instagram, I saw that my friend Raina posted a story about her daughter teething and how she feeds her frozen chunks of watermelon to help soothe the pain in her gums. It inspired me to put the watermelon cubes I had picked up at the corner bodega into the freezer, to have after work.
Later at night, Jonathan was working late so I walked over to get takeout for myself from Ajisen Ramen for dinner. It’s a national chain but it’s really good. I got the salmon ramen. Before eating I put aside a chunk of salmon for Gilda’s breakfast the following morning. Usually, I only ever drink water, but tonight I had a Gus’s Cola with dinner. It’s 12 ounces and only 95 calories, so even Mike Bloomberg would approve.
I had a great parking spot in Chelsea so I decided to go to galleries and see all the new shows: Lisa Yuskavage, John Currin, Philip Guston, and Jeffrey Gibson at Sikkema Jenkins, which I liked a lot. I had Ciao Bella Sicilian lemon sorbet for dessert. Gilda had her eye on my ravioli, but she didn’t get any. Instead I gave her leftover salmon and avocado with a few pieces of kibble.
