I have no idea what this might mean, nor do I think I should even be thinking about what it might mean, but it started with Hopping John.Out of the blue, persistent images of one of my most favorite, but, given current conditions, almost forgotten, dishes. And not the knee-jerk New Years’ Day offering, rather the everyday side, heaped up in the middle of plate, garnished with minimal protein.
And from there the daydreaming went to simple rice and beans of various variant. Mixed with a dollop of sofrito, perhaps, or with sautéed onions and chicken broth, the poor person’s risi e bisi.
But it ended up with asopao, the best comfort food on the face of the earth.
The blossoms are from the same island as the asopao, best enjoyed together, and more than enough to trump the rest of the world.

Lovely recipe. Also, please may I have some guacamole with that.
RebelSeed, hi, & did you catch my message to you on the 4th July post? People are asking about the date of encuentra..
Darling Irl, reassuringly and in spite of everything just got this from a 4th July Counterpoint.. Whiskey in the Jar.. although of course the gentlemen-in-question appears to prefer Thin Lizzy's version.
Right wingers eh, if only that were the only difference between the politics of left and right, libertarian!
One nice quote though, at end of same entry (an entry which starts with "As I was going over..
the Kerry mountain.. ")
goes on to read
"Once North America was home to a flawed but promising republic. It is now occupied by a corrupt, authoritarian kleptocracy -- a government of the robbers, by the robbers, and for the robbers -- that maintains an overseas empire, at least until its displacement by the next globally ascendant robber band.
And perhaps there is one potential blessing to be extracted from the unfolding imperial collapse: Freed from the distraction of foreign entanglements, there is the possibility -- slender as an insecure supermodel, delicate as a snowflake -- that Americans might finally be able to start uprooting the deeply entrenched Robber State here at home."
Ah the romance of revolution. OK! Let's keep rousing that rabble.
