Chekhov's Mistress
Seven
Seven is the number of holes in my head, but I don’t use them all equally well. My hearing is good, but that ringing1 in the quiet is unnerving at times. My eyes reveal to me their age when I try to read small print2 and while my sense of smell or taste (linked as they are) is pretty good, it’s no where near refined enough to be a chef (not that I want to be, but I enjoy reading about food, even reading cookbooks without actually using the recipes3). Alas, my favorite ingredients4 are those that stand and demand attention, like latin foodstuffs: cilantro, tomato and avocado, limes, habanera sauce, corn, bistec or pernil. I’m also a big fan of stinky cheese. While I’ve spent many hours attempting to perfect my espresso making skills5, I’m not a coffee snob. In fact, I sometimes drink instant coffee6. I have my own recipe, which entails doubling the prescribed dosage of coffee, cutting way back on the water and using milk instead. You might say it tastes like chocolate.
And that’s my meme. Congrats Rebecca, I am too, times two (well, We are7).
