Eel Pie

from Platina's On Right Pleasure and Good Health

Boil for a while an eel which has been skinned and cut up in pieces. Pass almond juice, with
verjuice and rose water, through a sieve into a bowl. It would likewise not be ill advised to
make it thicker by pounding in raisins with three or four figs. Then mix orach, torn by hand
with parsley and fried in a little oil, an ounce of raisins, also an ounce of pine nuts, a little
ginger, pepper, cinnamon, and saffron. Mix into the above-mentioned with your hands until
they make one mass. When they are mixed, put in a well-oiled pan with an undercrust, placing
pieces of eel in layers, as it were. When it has been semicooked pour in a bit of verjuice, rose
water, and sugar into the upper crust, which has been perforated in several places. When it is
finally cooked, serve to your enemies, for it has nothing good in it.

"the plight of the falling dollar"

so flinging shoppers plug the blank newsworthy
funny people funny people out walking around
some republican gestapo in training regurgitates
that this is newsworthy say more say more someone
something says more about those who don't know who
those whose than those who haven't known all along
but of course we need money but but for what
but for whatever it's worth but nobody knows
change changing changes weird picture wealthy
finding seen some soldiering okay being that they being
so soapy always fuck everyone after which everyone
fuck nobody rebels then out on the sidewalks crowds
not shopping get pepper spray into everyones eyes but
so what whenever not famous not whatever news
stock market quotes forever scrawling contain
intrinsic value and therefore a certain suspense

Korean War: Captain Ike Fenton, Baker Company Commanding Officer, receives reports of dwindling supplies during the battle to secure “no-name” ridge. David Douglas Duncan. Korea, 1950

different war, same basic screwing of those who are expected to do the dirty work - unfortunately, nothing much changes in the pursuit of imperial hegemony

The introductory notes by Camilo José Cela to City Lights Pocket Poet Series issue Number Twenty-Five – Pablo Picasso’s Hunk of Skin as translated by Paul Blackburn in 1968 – contain the following passage:

Picasso read me the poem, also at Cannes, June 13, 1960; with him were Jacqueline, his wife, and an American friend, the photographer David Douglas Duncan; with me were two other friends, also Americans: the poet Anthony Kerrigan, who has a very pretty wife and who published Chronicle of a voyage to Picasso in Papeles de Son Armadans, No 52, and another contributor, Bob Schiller, who sported a sparse little beard and let a number of atrocious and inconsiderate farts. Bob now has a bar in the Bronx if they haven’t killed him yet.

I did a google search on Schiller and (as expected) found a bunch of guys with the same name. Could he have also been an I Love Lucy writer? I have no idea.

Apparently this nice little book is worth some money, but I think I’ll keep it. I don’t remember where I picked it up for $.75.

PINWHEELS

From 1 loaf unsliced sandwich bread, cut lengthwise in slices 1/4" thick. Spread each slice with softened cheese spread or meat, or seafood salad mixture. For pretty centres, line up crosswise, near to the end of each slice, a row of pimiento-stuffed olives, asparagus or pimiento.

Starting at the short end, roll up jelly roll fashion. Wrap in clear plastic and chill. Before serving, place roll, seam side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut roll in 3/8" thick slices.

Feed to festive oilmen after firm instructions to wipe crude from gummy shoes.
