I lost a lot of weight last year withintermittent fastingand just eating a lot less, but I still missedgummy bears, and I’d sneak out at night while wifey was sleeping and go eat a bag on the block over a trash can. It was some real junkie shit. So she found this brand of gummies that are 90 calories, and now I don’t have to cheat on her with gelatin.

I don’t want to think too much about what I’m wearing day to day, so I have a uniform approach. I wear the same pants, shoes, and a few tops, then switch it up every six months. These are a pair I like, and I’ll also wear theseWilly Chavarria pants, but in black.

I would say pimento and Scotch bonnet peppers are the defining aromatics of Jamaican food. Japanese food has bonito flakes and the shiso leaf; Sichuan has the peppercorn and dried chile; barbecue is married to paprika and sugar. I use a lot of Chinese technique at home, but by substituting Scotch bonnet peppers for red chile and pimento for anise, it’s fundamentally redefined a lot of my cooking and brings me back to the Chinese-Jamaican spots in Kingston, the Cuban-Chinese diners uptown, or the Taiwanese-Dominican food my dad’s friend used to make.

I remember going to comic-book shops. I remember hanging outside record stores waiting for albums to drop on Tuesday. I always wanted to work in the video store. But all that shit is gone and it really upsets me. The last video store in L.A. is Cinefile, and it’s usually my first stop when I’m there. It’s a shame on all of us for letting the comic-book, video, and record stores die.
