Fishing for Joy: A Personalized Restaurant Rating System (PRE-9)
I remember very little about that childhood trip from Dhaka to Rajshahi, except for how a piece of turmeric stained white flaky fish glistening in the sunshine transformed atmospheric overwhelm into delicious comfort. Fresh caught Rui fish skillfully hacked into thick steaks, generously slathered in red-yellow speckled spices, dropped into pans of sputtering hot mustard oil before being…

Where the Crawdads Sing – A story of grits to polenta
Where the Crawdads Sing – A story of grits to polenta
[spoiler alert: if you haven’t read the book or seen the movie stop now] What if grits play the role of barometer for character development in the coming-of-age mystery drama novel (now a movie) Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens? Following this suspicion, I searched the book’s index for “grits”: It shows up 52 times. This number includes the 2 times “grit” is referenced in her character.…

A watched pot (turtle nest) boils in Oak Island
A watched pot (turtle nest) boils in Oak Island
A volunteer waved us left as we approached the tiny runway shaped to help guide baby turtles towards the sea. During our evening walks we noticed these small runways lined with green edges, centers brushed smooth carefully made ready for turtle nests incubating in the warm July sand past 50 days. “They’re coming. Please walk over and behind.” The excitement of new life. A small group of people…

Food Poem - Recipe for a Salad by Sydney Smith
Food Poem – Recipe for a Salad by Sydney Smith
To make this condiment, your poet begsThe pounded yellow of two hard-boiled eggs;Two boiled potatoes, passed through kitchen-sieve,Smoothness and softness to the salad give;Let onion atoms lurk within the bowl,And, half-suspected, animate the whole.Of mordant mustard add a single spoon,Distrust the condiment that bites so soon;But deem it not, thou man of herbs, a fault,To add a double quantity…

Food Poem – Everybody Made Soups by Lisa Coffman
After it all, the events of the holidays,the dinner tables passing like great ships,everybody made soups for a while.Cooked and cooked until the broth keptthe story of the onion, the weeping meat.It was over, the year was spent, the new onehad yet to make its demands on us,each day lay in the dark like a folded letter.Then out of it all we made one final thingout of the bounty that had not always…

“The world you see is just a movie in your mind.Rocks don't see it.Bless and sit down.Forgive and forget.Practice kindness all day to everybodyand you will realize you’re alreadyin heaven now.That’s the story.That’s the message.Nobody understands it,nobody listens, they’reall running around like chickens with heads cutoff. I will try to teach it but it willbe in vain, s’why I’llend up in a…

Body is a thing you have to carryfrom one day into the next. Always…

Invitation to "know thyself"
Invitation to “know thyself”
Three months ago I launched an online life-consulting practice: The Self-Curious Project. In this short time, I had at least 50 meaningful and honest conversations that taught me more than any academic program. So many questions worth exploring: how do I not feel anxious about moving far from home?how do I make friends and ease my social anxiety?how do I stop nervous talking?how do respond to…
