In 1953 an American business man goes to Japan to find out what Zen is all about. if you think that premise sounds like it might have been ripped from a dime store detective novel your right. Philip Kapleau takes us on a journey into Zen using a descriptive narrative full of color and intrigue. He populates the first part of the book with his own doubts that can seem a bit silly to someone reading this book 50+ years after it was written. But when you settle in, the doubts mirror our own as we search for answers in life. Kapleau is all too human while at the same time possessing a gigantic internal courage. Kapleau uses numerous meetings (called dokusan ) between the Zen teacher and the pupil to showcase the struggles and the successes each of us may go through on a journey of meditation (Zazen). The stories are unusal in that writings like these are rare in Zen and usually not showcased for public consumption.Kapleau repeats lectures by one of his teachers Haku'un Yasutani and he introduces the reader to may historical figures from Zen. The book is an easy read but not for those who have a passing interest in Zen. If you are deeply curious about Zen then I highy recomend this book as an entry to the world and teachings of Zen.

Mustard has always held a place of fascination in my eating life. It comes in so many styles, colors and textures that I always have seven or eight different jars of Mustard in the fridge. Sometimes I'll find myself buying a jar of Mustard even if the name and ingredients seem like a bad combination. Who knows what food it will enhance until you get the jar home. I still don't know what Raspberry Mustard will taste good on but I own a jar.

If you are already a fan of Gin or new to the beverage I encourage you to look around. Gin is not just 3 or 4 brands nor is it limited to a standard taste. Gin is made by large distillers and by dozens and dozens of smaller companies and artisans. Instead of a wine tasting for your next fund raiser why not have a gin tasting.Check out the list of world class bars and the list of streaming Jazz radio stations at the bottom of the page, add some atmosphere to your cocktail parties. Of course drink responsibly and always have a designated driver.
