Soul Food

Thursday 3rd March


Day 316


Lunch to share - two dear women bring gifts of food from their kitchens to mine.


A smooth velvet soup - green with leeks and spinach.

A bowl of baked beans curried with pungent Brinjal pickle.

A coleslaw, purple veined, crunchy with walnuts.

Sweet potatoes - long orange ovals, oozing roasted juices.

Hummus, olive scattered, leaking the aroma of garlic and crushed cumin.

A blue glass salad bowl of oriental leaves - rainforest green, raggedy edged.

Halved cherry tomatoes, almost ripe avocado, dressed with the princess of all olive oils - Italian, infused with lemons.


It looks like food but it feeds my soul. Like the spring sun blazing on the garden - defrosting the frozen soil in the tulip pots - this lunch, this company, lights me up from the inside .And keeps me burning all day.
