Thursday 23 May
Our reading group has switched
from Latour's Pasteurization of France
to The Practice of Everyday Life by
Michel de Certeau. It is still gnomic and full of
French paradox, but less bombastic.
This time we met at our house to wrestle some
meaning out of it. We just plunked everything out on
the table, so that people could hold the book or ipad (and gesture) with one hand and eat with
the other.
Snacks included own cucumber
pickles, daikon, and sour tomatoes; wasabi peas; gigantes; and olives.
Holt had made a double batch of
pizza dough, cut out little snack-size pieces, and stuffed them with three
kinds of filling: tapanade of artichoke and olive; goat cheese with oven-dried
tomatoes; and provolone with pepperoni.
Next time he wants to make them larger, with more stuffing.
Still, they were tasty and
abundant, and so was the discussion. We'll
take the leftovers (both thoughts and calzones) south to Tennessee tomorrow.
