Dear readers and fellow bloggers:
Good afternoon. As if we did not have enough human tragedy and worries in this battered region of Florida, last night they announced that Isaias, a tropical storm-hurricane category 1 entity, would pass by our shores, with the always present threat of making landfall. Luckily we were spared the worst scenario, but it has been raining since the wee hours with some occasional gales of wind. Only now has the sun timidly appeared. In honor of that deliverance, we did what our ancestors (poor sharecroppers and sheep herdsmen that toiled in the fields of absentee landlords from Paris or Roma) would have certainly done to celebrate with their families and thank God Almighty.
And to scare away the ghosts and maleficent spirits that they felt came out in the storm.
We prepared a thick soup with plenty of vegetables, some alphabet pasta, potatoes and two scrambled eggs (any kind of meat was an unaffordable luxury for any of them) We could count on all the healthy and well-priced ingredients from “our” Whole Foods.
Of course you are all invited to share a healthy bowl with us. Let’s sit at the table now.
The only concession to our modernity is that big dollop of Parmesan cheese on top of it.
Bon apétit!
Stay distant. Stay safe. Stay beautiful.
What do you think? Please tell us.
Don’t leave me alone.
