Micah 6:8
Ezekiel 27
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is one of those days with a bizarre confluence of celebrations. It's National Parfait Day, and it's also Blasé Day. How to celebrate both of those? After all, what could be better than a parfait? (You realize, no doubt, that the word literally means perfect. What's better than perfection?) So if we're starting there, how can we be blasé about it? Maybe we need to make a very plain, nondescript kind of parfait. Rather than exciting things like ice cream and yogurt and pastry cream, suppose we were to make a parfait of braunschweiger and pearl onions, perhaps dressed with a bit of nice yellow mustard? While clearly holding to the rules of parfait construction, it doesn't seem all that exciting (except to me - I may have to share a sandwich recipe with you all in the near future to explain that), and thus we might be able to remain blasé in its presence.
What do you think? Is that the most blasé parfait imaginable? What would you recommend instead?
By the way, on this date in 1914 Joe DiMaggio was born.
Where did you go, Joe DiMaggio? I want a cup of coffee.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
