In a pre-minced world, where everyone searches for meaning in mediocrity, where we're too quick to dismiss the quiet scrape of a knife, ....... please bother with an existence that is slow-simmered, sticky-fingered, full of the big flavors and small inconveniences - Elise Powers #Poetry 💙📚👀

SMALL INCONVENIENCES

Anthony Bourdain once said

if you're too lazy to peel garlic,

you don't deserve to eat it, which I take to mean:

In a pre-minced world, where everyone searches for meaning in mediocrity, where we're too quick to dismiss the quiet scrape of a knife, the hiss of cloves in hot butter, a sliver of time golden at the edges, that make up a life.

please bother with an existence

that is slow-simmered, sticky-fingered,

full of the big flavors

and small inconveniences

IMPORTANT: When transporting a giant puffball mushroom you have recently foraged, it is absolutely crucial that you ensure the mushroom is firmly strapped into the passenger seat of your car to guard against sharp braking and potential whiplash.

A really massive puffball mushroom I foraged in Cornwall, and which is glad to be living after the year 1983, when it became mandatory in the UK for all front seat passengers to wear a seat belt.

I think everyone should see this incredible picture of Dolly Parton: it’s by Stacie Williams (asterosperma on Instagram) and it’s called The Queen of Appalachia

A stunning screenprint image in a style which is part folk art, part religious icon. Dolly Parton sits on a throne-like wooden chair, surrounded by garlands of flowers and leaves. Orange butterflies (I think they are monarchs?) hover around her head. Her hair is huge and golden, and she is wearing a long, sweeping orange gown, which is turned up over her knee to show off her brown knee length high heeled boots. Two black bear cubs play around her, one on the floor and one in her lap. Dolly stares calmly at the viewer. Her right hand is raised in benediction, and in her left she holds a ripe strawberry which she is feeding to one of the bear cubs.
