Accessibility Means Access To Food
I was originally writing this as a Facebook rant. Unfortunately for the world at large, I'm off this week and have way too much time on my hands. I spent the morning in conversation with a visually-impaired book editor. We were discussing what conlangs (constructed languages, i.e. fantasy or made up languages like Klingon and Sindarin) mean for accessibility when a person needs a screen reader. Turns out, it generally isn't an issue if the screen reader can read it and the website or story is formatted correctly (lots of food for thought there, no pun intended). That got me thinking about how the world views people with invisible disabilities, like severe food allergies or autoimmune disorders that are triggered by food.

Togetherness
This is not the first time I think about the people I am with, rather than working in the steaming hot kitchen. As easy as it would be to cook with someone, more often this activity is reserved for one. The chef, the owner, the host, the mother. A single unit always rules the hearth of the house and maybe there are no other ways but for the one to take on the responsibility. I had seen many people owning to the expectations of the good cooks, chefs, owners, and mothers but hardly ever at the same time. Last week I was invited not to be a stranger, take charge, help, to play a part.

The regular meals
What is the biggest difference between a Chinese restaurant and a Western restaurant? Probably the service. Many people would think that the service level of any Western restaurant is much higher than that of any restaurant on the street. At least their waiters do not lift the cloth at the corner of the table to wipe off the oil stains on their hands after serving the food. Some say it's the environment, too. Although the number of elegantly decorated Chinese restaurants is increasing, but on average, or Western restaurants are better. Eat Western food place furnishings again, in the end the light is dark enough, a black cover three ugly, under the dim candelabra not only the opposite will be beautiful a few points, even the corner of the peeling wallpaper or peeling paint is also hidden without trace. Which is like a traditional restaurant, a bright room, all the unsightly things have nothing to hide.

Savory Watermelon?
Mom loved making new salads, and I don’t mean the kind that are eighty percent lettuce. I mean the flavorful, colorful, hearty salads that could be a meal themselves, but somehow always end up as side dishes. I mean the salads that fill your stomach and your soul, like Grandma’s potato salad. Mom made a bacon, broccoli, and raisin salad that could make you cry, partly because it was delicious and partly because it had at least five hundred calories a spoonful.

Summer Waters
Growing up as a kid I used to feel really connected to water as it was something that used to heal me from inside. I would feel whole when swimming in a river or standing under a waterfall - being a Brazilian, I could easily go to places with abundant water, but only during summer break.
