Good day, chefs of Covid Cafe. We hope you're keeping well and that abundant summer produce is landing on your plate. Day to day, we try new approaches to food but often, with beautiful results, choose to fall back on old favorites.
Camille writes: While I love trying new recipes, especially those from Covid Cafe, sometimes we return to basics.
Here’s last night’s dinner: pan roasted salmon with a cherry tomatoes, onion, and capers;
tossed salad with many salad veggies; and a half slice of sourdough bread.
Poetry
My Voice
By Rafael Campo
To
cure myself of wanting Cuban songs,
I
wrote a Cuban song about the need
For
people to suppress their fantasies,
Especially
unhealthy ones. The song
Began
by making reference to the sea,
Because
the sea is like a need so great
And
deep it never can be swallowed. Then
The
song explores some common myths
About
the Cuban people and their folklore:
The
story of a little Carib boy
Mistakenly
abandoned to the sea;
The
legend of a bird who wanted song
So
desperately he gave up flight; a queen
Whose
strength was greater than a rival king’s.
The
song goes on about morality,
And
then there is a line about the sea,
How
deep it is, how many creatures need
Its
nourishment, how beautiful it is
To
need. The song is ending now, because
I
cannot bear to hear it any longer.
I
call this song of needful love my voice.
Cactus in Chicago
Chris got a cactus start from a guy he worked for years ago and planted it against his garage, where nothing would grow because it's too hot. But this plant loves it.
