'I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but this lamb dish warms my cynical heart.'
My French is stronger in familiar places, usually transactional in nature, where I know the script and any improvisation is appreciated but not expected. Like in food shops and grocery stores.
From the other side of the glass case, I watched the teen butcher heave a hulking loin of meat, trussed with shiny white fat, onto the butcher's block.“Two,” I replied, “but one which eats like two” .“A little more,” I directed.

We were in grad school in Ithaca, New York, a vast tundra when it comes to winter or romance. Upon arriving, I briefly dated a guy whom I met at sleepaway tennis camp when I was 12. He was a lefty and a very good player. I remember him explaining to me with a slight lisp how lefties have a natural tendency to swing over the ball when theyerve, resulting in a dangerous kick-spin. On the day his parents came for him, we shared a quick tongue kiss near the courts.
Ava is the friend that every girl deserves. She has a strong voice and an arsenal of witty replies orreferences, depending on her audience. Her mother is from Appalachian Tennessee, which I imagined instilled in her a sense of Southern hospitality that compels her to add levity to any situation. Ava is always invited to stuffy client dinners. She has been a bridesmaid no fewer than 15 times.
My housemate Amanda, a sweet but strong-willed vegetarian from Portland with plum-red hair and Riot grrrl bangs, was not home and I was glad for it. She had politely requested that I not use her cookware for preparing meat and I was respectfully observant. Though she never judged my carnivorism, just as I didn’t judge the alien-like kombucha mom floating in a Mason jar in our fridge, I generally avoided cooking meat in her presence.
