โ€œHer gray hair frizzy, cheekbones protruding like the tops of two ๐Ÿ‘ es, tattooed eyebrows rusting as the ink fades out. โ€

โ€œThere were ๐Ÿ‘ -colored roses and white hydrangeas to decorate the tables, budding lilies, cream and chartreuse, to strew over the wooden arbor weโ€™d pass under in the ceremony.โ€

โ€œMetal containers full of jeotgal, salt-fermented seafood banchan, affectionally known as rice thieves, because their intense, salty flavor cries out for starchy, neutral balance; raw, pregnant crabs, floating belly up in soy sauce to show off the unctuous roe protruding out from beneath their shells; millions of minuscule ๐Ÿ‘ -colored krill used for making kimchi or finishing hot soup with rice; and my familyโ€™s favorite, crimson sacks of pollack roe smothered in gochugaru, myeongnanjeot.โ€

โ€œThere were none of the usual fresh-cut flowers or the smell of ๐Ÿ‘es and melons from the country estate that usually filled the air, no music on the radio, not even the dogsโ€™ noisy welcome. โ€

โ€œQuite often, she would turn up with strange dishes like cold zucchini soup or chicken with cinnamon and ๐Ÿ‘es.โ€

Marrying the Ketsups

Nanโ€™s

Monday June 13, 6 :30

โ€œ After a flight of fruit-inspired beerโ€”watermelon, ๐Ÿ‘ , and raspberryโ€”Gretchen leaned her head back on the booth. โ€œCan I ask you something?โ€ she said.โ€

Itโ€™s a BINGO!
Had to marry them today.
Time to protest.
Sadly the Beavers lost.

Still Life

Wednesday May 11, 6:30 pm

โ€œThe Iris Garden, up by the Piazzale Michelangelo, had not long opened for the season, and Cress and Paola were first through the gates that day. A rare cream and ๐Ÿ‘ variety had caught Paolaโ€™s eye and sheโ€™d knelt down to view it better. .
