I like to talk food
I enjoy playing with words
Music is my love language
I’m not trying to date you,
but I do like conversing…

Fuck ice

I had leftover soup & grilled cheese earlier & like I always say, you can totally improve leftovers by adding cheesecake 🤭

& Fuck ice!

I didn’t stick my ruler in the snow, but so far I think we’re right around 15”

Fine 🤭 I won’t mention the weather in the Mid Atlantic then 😁🥶

There were 8” on the ground when I did my first shoveling an hour ago, but I think it’s closer to 10” now. I’m betting 20” when it’s all said & done. I’m in the 16”-19” zone anyway

Let’s lay here, comfortably nesting

Mornings striking flints, sparking steel
cut oats, boules, sugar maples
& that which we feed each other

Let’s lay here, let the snow hold us
prisoner to our cravings. Cheesecake
for breakfast & hibiscus kisses with tea

Let’s lay here, let the day melt away

Soup & whiskey kinda day + 4 cheeses 🧀

I really don’t know what to say

So I’m listening to the Fleet Foxes self-titled album & trying to take care of myself, I hope you all are doing the same ❤️

Love JRT’s ❤️ I had one (Macy) keep me company for 15 years

Cinnamon as leitmotif;
{Buns & horchata
Chili & churros
Chả Quế & Phó}
Saigon in the wintertime.

eating our way through
sea snails & mung beans.

Cheesy, melty, garlicky & not the least bit fishy.

Made myself a grand old fashion & it pairs perfectly with this meal.

One last errand to run tomorrow, to the dispensary & then I will be about as ready as can be

a touch sweet ~ as if I had just caramelized the sea…

Can never go wrong with garlic. I sliced mine on a miniature mandoline I’ve had for years. Here they are right this minute getting ready to pan roast for baby spinach tonight

Just took a couple more

The winter after we married, we sat on our 3rd floor rooftop deck overlooking the inner harbor of Baltimore & watched a snowstorm move in across the city, slowly vanishing the buildings with blankets until it hit us & quietly flushed us back inside…

Layers ~ it felt like an empty campus before a blizzard circa 1987, a day before school started back. I walked almost a mile in 2 feet of snow for a French dip at Curly’s Garage, they were that good + the dining hall shut down because of snow

I want to tell you about that time
I had a prime rib so tender,
it fell apart at the seems
as I gazed across the train tracks
onto the grazing prairie of origin.
Lazlo’s, in Lincoln, on the edge
of campus life & the razor
still cutting its path across the plains.

I love a good corner piece, especially when the sausage & pepperonis have found a pocket right next to the sweet ricotta… what a match

The roast olives are even better today than the 1st, or even the 2nd time <nibble/nibble>

Breakfast pho,
only it’s shirred eggs
dug deep from the bowels
of an ancient sugar spun
sarcophagus melting
in the midday sun.

Eating pasta e fagioli naked,
sitting on my lap in the silly hours
between first dates & Croquembouche.

I’m pregaming tomorrow’s predicted high of 22° with chicken noodle casserole!

So I turned the batch of chicken soup into chicken barley soup, chicken & brown rice, chicken pot pie & now casserole!

I want to go home
but I don’t know
what that is.
Cancer took my 2nd home.
My 3rd home left with my leg.
Can’t go home, “home,” again;
that one changed hands, recently.
Keep your arms open
& you might just find
what feels like home.

Saturday night between timid snowfalls & there’s stew & pane toscano on the table. This particular bread has no salt, so it’s perfect with the olives & salsa verde italiano
