Day 37
delicious
Limes—are delicious. In a glass with ice, gin and tonic. Or in a Mexican lager with salt. Or in a pie. Oh! On tacos with onion and salt. Limes…anywhere…with salt.
Chocolate. ‘Nough said.
Meat stews, rich with wine and just soft carrots, and just a bit of heat from chile pasilla or serrano. Crusty bread on the side with a half inch of butter. Hungry?
Jerked chicken is delicious, covered in hot sauce. Hot sauce is delicious.
My favorite cocktail: the Negroni. Delicious texture, bittersweet, sharp but smooth. Can’t say enough.
Also delicious: brined and toasted almonds, dill pickles, Chile Colorado with brisket, smoked trout, slow cooked pork, ginger tahini sauce, toasted bagels with cream cheese onion tomato and capers. Speaking of tomatoes; the tomatoes my grandpa grew and sliced thick for me to eat with salt and pepper. Speaking of grandpa, his wife made a pretty delicious brisket with coca cola. Speaking of grandma, my other grandma made a delicious orange Julius (I can still remember the sound of the ice in the blender.)
Delicious are my lover’s lips after he drinks whiskey. A kiss that is supremely delicious.
When I make something that, when it meets my tongue, triggers my eyes to close and my shoulders to relax, I know I have accomplished delicious.
