food, glorious food

 

We met our friend Joe at the Taste of Oakland Park Friday night. Since we’d last seen him, Joe had lost 27 pounds.

“What kind of diet are you on?” Hania asked him.

“I don’t eat anything that makes me happy.”

Friday he was calling a moratorium. After you paid your $10 entry fee, everything inside Jaco Pastorius Park was free. Local restaurants, and the culinary students of a local high school, handed out samples of pulled pork, Shepherd’s pie, pasta, lentil soup, Crepes Suzette, chips and salsa, meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Funky Buddha brewery was serving two types of beer and Casa d’Angelo had a beautiful spread of Italian desserts.

Sitting in the bleachers to eat our victuals, Joe told us about his sister Laura, who lives in L.A. She had gone to the women’s march in the city with her 5-year-old daughter Aurora, after telling her that she could make her own sign, saying whatever she wished. Joe called up a photo on his phone that showed his smiling niece holding a sign that read: “I WANT CANDY.”
