eu nem sei, cara

"I would take delight in thinking of useless things, a method that i had started to practice years back in a hospital and every time it seemed to me more fecund and necessary. With enormous effort, reuniting auxiliary images, thinking of smells and faces, i was able to extract from nothing a pair of brown shoes that i had used in Olavarria in 1970. They had heels of gum, very fine soles, and when it rained the water would come in all the way to my soul. With that pair of shoes in hand in my memory, only then would the rest come..." Julio Cortazar

we went for sushi and she didn't realize that the sushi assortment we ordered would contain mostly raw fish, so she claimed to be full already from the miso soup and encouraged me to eat all of it, me saying that cooking would only destroy the delicate flavor of these fine cuts of flesh, that certainly it is a refined taste, that it is salubrious for the absence of oil used to cook, then confessing that the miso soup was the best thing i had eaten, and we go on specualating how it can be made. we get blind legless katsuobushi fish and dry them out, reform their flesh into flakes, boil these with kombu kelp, to this stock we add small strips of wakame seaweed and red aka, little cubes of tofu. by the time i stop thinking of the soup i am swearing many oaths that the only good mixing bowl is a drinking bowl for a large dog, a very large dog, but it isn't at wal-mart, the mixing bowl is plastic. i pick it up, knowing it only costs $1.88 and thinking perhaps wal-mart makes their prices so that there will result in the maximum copper and minimum silver in the change to not have to stock so many rolls of quraters, yet throwing it back and saying that in the end i will not pay $1.88 for the endless frustration of buying a mixing bowl which will not cling easily to plastic wrap when the dough rises in it. i settle in the pastry blender for $2.74 and tonight i said to frank i made the best biscuits ever, he looks to the kitchen, but i ate them all, on account of that device lying in a basin of dirty water, lift it up to see-no. notice that both items leave you with four cents change after sales tax.
