Happy Pride. Pony & Diesel.
For Pride I thought I might occasionally recommend books by LGBT poets. Today I’d like to spotlight Stephanie Burt’s “We Are Mermaids.” Burt’s a trans poet who frequently writes about adolescence as an awkward time of dreams & experimentation before adulthood locks you into preprepared scripts.

I love the couple weeks in Spring when I have access to a few very PNW wild & foraged delights. Here: sauteed fiddleheads and pasta with ramps and lemon butter.

In Seattle, the start of spring brings sorrel, an herb with a strong, lemony tang. It makes a delicious soup with just onion, garlic, olive oil, and potato. I used red-veined sorrel but any kind works.

肉松 “meat floss,” a sweet dried pork product with cotton candy texture. Good as a topping or filling for many Chinese dishes like congee. I bought a jar from Weee! online but didn’t realize how big it was 😹
