The secret to Imam bayaldi is....don't make too many. People are afraid of eggplant, even Greeks! I loved it, but no one else touched them, and now I have a good 1/2 dozen in the fridge, two days later.
The secret to happiness is....stop inviting people over and working like a Spartan! No, the real secret is to stimulate the economy by hiring someone to clean your house for you. Had I understood what my legacy, as a female, was to be....hell, I didn't even have a choice. But let it be known that NONE of the great thinkers, the great leaders, the great artists, were shackled by the quotidien, herculean effort of domestic chore.
I really never had a chance.
Girls, Artemis, Anemone, if you're reading this - rage rage against your fate.
Hog wash--yes you must rage against the shackles of misogyny but as for domesticity, let it go..refuse to be a wife. Be a Mommy, and single woman and a lover--even if you're married.Oh, and of course, Zen your pad.
ReplyDeleteyou tell me, Mme Zen, how not to be a wife?? Who does the laundry? the meals? the shopping? the cooking? the cleaning? the cleaning? the cleaning? We must eat, we cannot live in squalor....
ReplyDeleteI would have loved the eg plant dish!! Everything looked delicious, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI have thought it over and have decided that you need a wife.
Well now, I see you've got your knickers in a twist. So firstly, the chicken looks fab. How did you cook it, on top of the potatoes and for how long? And secondly...well squalor's not so bad...and remember the legumes chien in a pinch.
