Pistol—the Provençal version of pesto—for tod

Pistol—the Provençal version of pesto—for today’s soup. The smell and taste of @tomaterofarm basil is grounding and reassuring to me these days—it’s a sensual punch in the face face reminding me to notice the here and now instead of letting myself get lost in the swirling whirl of worry and dread and sadness about the state of the world and our country. Yes, things are bad, but also there is basil. So we rest and eat...and then we’re ready go back out and do the work to make the world better. •

New issue of my newsletter. Took me forever to write because it’s hard to be entertaining when the world is falling apart. But there are some good links in there—instant noodles! Viking cooking! Fishing with Coke and Mentos! Link in bio. •

Zucchini-tarragon soup for customers today. Lots of tarragon from my parents’ garden, zucchini from @tomaterofarm. Creamy from cashews, not dairy—but it’s not vegan, because I sautéed the onions in butter. Although it was delicious (especially with garlic-mustard croutons), I totally flubbed Cinco de Mayo. I made tortilla soup two weeks ago when I should have made it today. If that’s the worst mistake I make during this pandemic, though, I’m doing alright. •

These grow in my yard. •
(Notice I did not say “I grew these.” The only credit I get is for not killing this plant in the ten years that I’ve lived here.)

Happy May Day! We went up and down the street and left bouquets for the neighbors—on front gates instead of front doors this year. But I like to combine holidays, so I chant “workers of the world unite!” at the same time. And I will not be buying anything from Amazon, Instacart, or even Target today. •

Pulled these individual pineapple upside down cake

Pulled these individual pineapple upside down cakes out of the oven—if you listen closely you can hear the bubbling butter-brown sugar-pineapple juice. And the whole house smells like dessert. •

Avgolemono, a Greek soup thickened with eggs and egg yolks. It’s got the sprightly flavors of lemon and dill, but the combination of chicken and rice is so soothing, perfect for souls that need calming (like we all do these days). •
