#aprillove2019 Day 15: Reflection When a famous and revered structure is destroyed or severely damaged (it looks like they finally contained the fire) there is a palpable sense of collective trauma and mourning. Notre Dame is probably one of the most visited cathedrals in the world, thus connecting millions of people who have been there. And each of us who’ve been there have a story or a memory, most likely a happy one for having been inside such a beautiful and historical place. I myself have visited Notre Dame a few times and it is even included in a couple of art pieces in my house. The first is a drawing my sister made for me 20 years ago. It’s of the Pont Neuf side of Île de la Cité but you can see parts of Notre Dame, including the spire that sadly collapsed in today’s fire. The second one is a print by the artist Christo from when he wrapped the Pont Neuf in 1985. My mom knew him and he signed it for her. Notre Dame can be seen in the top right section of the print which is the last photo. Like so many I have very fond memories of visiting Notre Dame and Paris where my sister lived for many years. And I am glad that the cathedral was saved from total destruction, although the damage looks substantial.
I’m on a roll, 3rd blog post this month! This was one of those spontaneous ones, inspired by an email I received today. I hope you enjoy it 💛 Link in bio, simply click on latest blog post.
Well, it looks like the odd food photo is finding its way back into my feed here. I loved my Reluctant Cook account but in the end it was just too much to manage in addition to everything else (when will I ever learn??) - especially as I feel a strong pull to simplify and downsize certain areas of my life. I am still a reluctant cook but with this new requirement for an iron rich diet I am mostly thinking greens & proteins 🥦🍳🥑🥩 And as a result I am coming up with interesting quick meals, like this one. I actually loved making this: fry a bit of ghee with a cube of frozen garlic (Trader Joe’s) and a 1/2 tsp of my homemade frozen tarragon/parsley mix and Costco tail-in shrimp (I defrost them quickly by placing them in a bowl of hot water, remove the tails and pad them dry with paper towel before frying them.) Our local co-op has 1-2 portion little bags of frozen peas and I love them. The peas taste fresh and I also added a few chunks of sheep feta cheese to the finished meal. Very quick, easy and yummy!
One more outtake from my little trip to Fairhaven today. I love this part of town but it gets very busy here pretty much all year round these days. I loved having the place to myself today because of the rain ☔️
Remember all the plants I bought the other day? Some of them found their way into my office 🌿🌿🌿
Another one from this mornings trip to Fairhaven. Love this mural next to the village green.
