Whatever you love, you are

뉴욕 언니네에 갈 때마다 책을 몇권 빌려(...) 오곤 하는데 그 중 2권이 싸이의 누나라는 요리사/푸드스타일리스트 박재은의 "육감유혹" 과 "밥시."

"육감유혹"은 각 짤막한 단원마다 간단한 레시피를 정리하는데, 누들피자는 그 레시피들 중 하나를 응용한 것:

Moonwalking With Einstien 이후 The Memory Bible (by Gary Small, M.D.) 를 빌려 읽기 시작했다. 기억력 강화, 장기적으로는 치매 예방과 관련한 여러가지 스킬, 식단 등을 알려 주는데, 이중 기억하고 싶었던 몇가지 비타민/미네랄 상식:

K가 평소 일어나는 새벽 5시 반에 나도 눈을 떠 다시 잠드는 대신, 오늘은 가장 생산적인 새벽 2시간을 보냈다: 빨래, 청소기 그리고 두부조림.

소스간장엔 간장 3T, 설탕 1T, 참기름 1t, 다진마늘 1t, 고추가루 1t, 다진파가 들어간다. (난 파가 없어 파슬리를 넣고, 언제나 그렇듯 청양고추 1/2개를 추가했다.)

지져 익힌 두부 위에 간장소스를 얹으며 더 조림. 물론 내가 본 요리책에는 더 정성스런 레시피가 적혀 있었다.

한식을 자주 하지 않지만, 한다면 엄마의 레시피 또는1995년 출판 "앞치마에 담긴 보람"을 참고한다.

지난 번에 읽은 시집에 이어 The Color Purple 의 저자로 유명한 Alice Walker 의 시집을 집어 들었다. 그 중 기억하고 싶은 몇 개 시들:

Compatible

We are not

compatible

said the

tiger

to

the bear.

The tiger

was spitting

out blackberry

seeds

barely disguising

his

disgust.

The bear

was feeling

foolish

a leaping

antelope

between

his teeth.

Watching you hold your hatred

Watching you

hold

your

hatred

for such a long time

I wonder:

Isn’t it

slippery?

Might you

not

someday

drop it

on

yourself?

I wonder:

Where does it sleep

if ever?

And where

do

you deposit

it

while you

feed

your

children

or

sit

in the

lap

of

the one

who

cherishes

you?

There is no

graceful

way

to

carry

hatred.

While

hidden

it is

everywhere.

The taste of grudge

…

This we know:

We were

not meant

to suffer

so much

& to learn

nothing.
