Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/24: olive relish
I like making an olive relish based on an ancient recipe of Cato's. But I don't make it very often; usually I need some sort of excuse/prompt/push to spend several hours cutting olives, fennel, and herbs into little bits. Today Chris and I hosted an ancient/modern Mediterranean potluck at school, so I had my excuse. And one student said he loved it because it reminded him of the way his Lebanese mother prepares olives.
