Piano
Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me;
Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see
A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings.
In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song
Betrays me back, [...]

I really miss good Chinese food (as an NYC transplant) and this is no substitute. But it is still a tasty meal when you want something sort of like Chinese food.
1 container of firm Tofu, drained and cut into 3/4†cubes or something [...]

I Askèd a Thief
I askèd a thief to steal me a peach:
He turnèd up his eyes.
I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down:
Holy and meek, she cries.
As soon as I went
An Angel came:
He wink’d at the thief,
And smil’d at the dame;
And without one word said
Had a peach from the tree,
And still as a maid
Enjoy’d [...]

1-1/4 pound Cauliflower or broccoli, cut in thin length-wise slices (so the pieces look like cardboard trees)
1 T or so Anchovy paste
1 T Capers, rinsed and chopped
Several garlic cloves, small [...]

Clytaemestra:
No shame, I think, in the death given
this man. And did he not
first of all in this house wreak death
by treachery?
The flower of this man’s love and mine,
Iphigeneia of the tears
he dealt with even as he has suffered.
Let his speech in death’s house be not loud.
With the sword he struck,
with the sword he paid for [...]

Today’s recipe is a quicky, but a goody that I’ve thrown together because Alex is feeling sick and her voice is shot.
So, the classic Sunday comfort food quick main course.
Steak au poivre.
I use a straight-sided sautaé pan for this. The other ingredients I [...]
