Preciso de 150.000 crocus para obter 1 kg de Açafrão. Já tenho cartorze (a florir- bom demais para ser verdade). Dei uma à Clarinha. Quantas faltam para eu ficar rica? Não me atrevo a fazer as contas porque a Tapioca está atenta. Verdinha o melhor é nao tentares ajudar-me ;-)

2009-03-26T12:46:00.002-04:00

As orquídeas da tia Pilar são lindas.
Mas nao me perguntem qual é o truque porque eu nao sei. As minhas nao florem ha dois anos.

A primeira flor é para a Clarinha

2009-03-24T15:21:00.006-04:00

Clarinha esta é a flor do Açafrão. É a primeira, e a única, a florir no meu jardim. Diz à tua mae que preciso de mais 149 mil flores para obter 1 kg de açafrão.

The Return
by Filipa Estrela

They're BACK!
They're BACK!
The Humming Birds are back!

The minuscule warriors of the Sun,
have once again return.
The sound of their buzzing wings,
in my ear still rings.

The first was but a scout.
He came so close i could have shout.
He was a valiant one,
a courageous one.
His chest was a bloody red
and it glistened as he flew above my head.
He observed as to see if anything was new,
and then into the heavens he flew.

But he is but a first.
Soon more will come to quench their thirst.
And may this glorious day,
the fifth of May,
be remembered forever more
as the day of the Return of more.

The return of more tiny warriors.
The Tiny Ruby-Throated Warriors of the Great Sun.

Traudy dear, this is how I overwintered OUR dahlia
bulbs... I put them in these crates to dry... but I never got to the
next step which was to save them in closed paper bags...
glup... I left them like this, in my garage, all winter.

Please tell me that I did not kill them...

Raquéis e Requelinas

2007-11-14T17:02:00.000-05:00

Raquéis e Requelinas, do quintal da cortinha do meu amigo Carlos. Estas bonitas Raquéis nascem a partir de uma "cebola" (um bolbo, Carlos?) mas nem todas as "cebolas" dão flor em cada ano. O pai do Carlos ainda as vende na feira, flor e "cebola" a dois euros e meio. Há quem lhe peça para vender as "cebolas" não floridas com esperança que floresçam no próximo ano mas o senhor António recusa polidamente.

Diz ainda o meu amigo Carlos que as "cebolas" das Raquéis se dão particularmente bem em velhos muros semi-destruídos, húmidos e cobertos de musgo. Como eu, afinal. As Requelinas não são tão esquisitas, mas também estão longe de ofuscar a beleza das suas irmãs.

Ah, Raquel, Raquel...

Açafrão-dos-loucos

2007-11-06T11:31:00.000-05:00

O açafrão é uma das especiarias mais caras do mundo. Obtida a partir dos minúsculos estigmas da flor do Crocus sativus, diz-se que são precisas cem mil flores para obter um quilograma de pó da especiaria.

No entanto, existe nos montes e serras portuguesas uma pequena flor muito parecida, provavelmente da mesma família das Iridáceas, cujo nome popular é açafrão-dos-loucos, pelo menos a acreditar no que nos contou um biólogo, certa vez, na Serra da Estrela. Porquê dos loucos? Porque louco é quem o apanha julgando colher grande tesouro e afinal nada valer? Ou porque o pó dos seus estigmas tem propriedades alucinogénas?

Lunch at Tropilcália by Dje

2007-10-27T10:58:00.000-04:00

I open the door and let my kids in. My wife follows, then my mother and then I go in. The place is empty. There aren't even flies inside.

We’re there because Elsa, that’s my wife’s name, feels an obligation to protect locally based businesses. You know, buy produce from local farmers, cut hair at non-chain salons, buy organic this and organic that.

After a few moments, a waitress walks in through a door on the far side of the restaurant. She’s wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and a look that makes me believe she just saw ghosts. “What are you doing here,” is what she wants to say, I can see it in her face, but she just stares at us instead.

Pretty uncomfortable, the silence that sets in. I for one am not about to make it any easier. I agreed to try out the restaurant, but that is as far as I am willing to go. Finally Elsa speaks: “we want to eat, are you open?”

“Yes, the waitress says. You can seat anywhere.”

Now that sort of friendliness does not impress me. I mean, every single table is empty in the place, I would have been offended is she had done anything other than offered us a choice of where to seat.

We seat and pick up the menu. The waitress hovers but does not say anything. Finally, she blurts out: “want anything to drink?”

We conference and come up with a list: “Two cokes a beer and a couple of glasses of water.”

“Excuse me,” Elsa speaks. By now she knows I am doing her a big favor not walking out. “What are today’s specials?”

Nothing that any of us cares to eat, it turns out.

But my mother makes her repeat the list of specials.

The waitress walks away exhausted after the recitation and returns a few moments later with drinks.

We order.

The drinks arrive.

We talk.

I can’t resist.

“See what I mean. It does not cost anything to be friendly, but she can’t do it. She does not know how to do it. She won’t do it. And why did she assume I was going to drink beer from the bottle? Why did she not bring a glass?”

I do not mention her lackadaisical demeanor, nor her general unsuitability for hosting. It's too early to pick a fight. I want to hedge my hand.

“Yeah.”

Elsa agrees with me, but I can tell she does not mean it. It’s the way she holds back her enthusiasm, the twist of the mouth, the non-committal stance. In her heart, she wants to defend the waitress, the local business owner. She knows she has to come up with an attack soon because I’ll use this situation later if she doesn’t.

We talk about inconsequential things, trying to size each other up. We both know I've got the upper hand, but neither of us is ready to force our hands yet.

After fifteen minutes or so, she preempts my move.

“I forgot we should have ordered the specials.”

(i.e. it’s my fault it’s taking too long for the food to come.)

It’s a perfect move, because if I say something to the effect that it is taking too long for the food to come, she will already have told me it is my fault. I should have known better than to order something from the menu, instead of the day’s special. It’s a small business and they are trying hard with the staff they have, not like the big behemoths that destroy local businesses and serve bland food from an assembly line. I’m just being inflexible and ignorant of the effect that big corporations are having on the fabric of the community.

In other words, I cannot complain lest I be proven to be wrong once again.

The food comes, though, just in time to save me from doing something against my own good, and for that I am grateful, because I am hungry and ready to dig in.

The kids taste the tuna steak and eye the French fries that came with my mother’s shrimp. She gives them some from her plate and they pick at the tuna to keep Elsa at bay.

I know I cannot complain but I know just the thing to do.

“The steak is good, but the one at Sodade is better.” I know she does not have a come back for that, since Sodade is another local business, and she has not tasted the tuna steaks there.

“Yeah, definitely better. Definitely.” I push it to the limit.

“It’s not bad though.”

She shifts in her chair and glances at the kids who are cutting up the steak into small pieces and yet smaller pieces, and mixing it with some rice, and spreading the pieces around the plate, all the while eating the French fries that my mother has put on their plate.

The waitress disappears for the entire time we eat and then comes to remove our plates while the kids are still eating. I emptied my beer bottle long ago, but she does not notice this. I think she still cannot believe that we went in to eat.

“Do you have dessert?”

Frowning she advances: “Cheese pudding, papaya preserve.”

We expect more so she finishes quickly. “Yoghurt.”

“What?” my little one exclaimed, just as incredulous as I. “What is yoghurt doing in the mix?”

“Yoghurt” I repeat to her, knowing full well what she is getting at. “That,” I say, “you have at home.”

The waitress removes the rest of the plates and is ready to leave us orderless, but I don't let her.

“A papaya preserve and a cheese pudding.”

“They have an excellent milk pudding,” says Elsa, a veteran of the restaurant.

“Oh, you have milk pudding?” asks my mother.

“No, not today.”

No great surprise I think to myself, sure that Elsa has read my thoughts.

Dessert consumed, I pay and we leave.

I am happy because I have not used any of my capital, you know, the kind that will come in handy at our next argument about the way our people are.

Lura - Nha Vida

De espelhos e poços

2007-10-10T07:57:00.000-04:00

A fiel jardineira abandonou as flores do seu jardim e eu por lá vagueei até descer ao poço onde fiquei às escuras. Tacteava a parede do poço mas não conseguia passar para o outro lado. Parei no tempo, no livro, e não o conseguia acabar. Todos os dias olhava para o jardim mas as flores não mudavam. Les fleurs ne changeait pas. Tinha a certeza do número sete, mesmo sem saber da maldição do espelho. Ah... se soubesses como era fácil anular a maldição: atirar sal para trás das costas! Sal, percebes? Ou esperar uma hora sem mexer nos fragmentos e só depois limpá-los. Ou, ou...

Mirror, mirror, on the floor!

No início de Outubro saí do poço e acabei o livro. Sete dias depois a fiel jardineira revelou a maldição do espelho. Não volto a ler mais Murakami nos próximos tempos. Preciso de um coração mais leve. E de mais notícias da jardineira!

Síndrome do Ninho Vazio

O autocarro amarelo chegou e levou-a. Assim sem mais nem menos. De mochila às costas, maça de cartolina onde se lê, M. E., Mrs Sullivan - bus #10, pendurada ao peito, sorriso nos lábios, lá foi ela. E eu que nem tive tempo para lhe dar um beijo, voltei para casa. Caminhei devagar, sem pressa de entrar nesta casa, que assim sem mais nem menos ficou demasiado silenciosa.

Hope

2007-09-02T12:20:00.000-04:00

Hope is like a colourful butterfly quietly lurking on a rough yellow wall.

Hope will be spelled CS-7017 for the next weeks

2007-09-01T09:02:00.000-04:00

"CS-7017 is a new type of oral drug that is similar to some medicines called "thiazolidendiones" (known by commercial names such as Avandia and Actos) used to treat people with diabetes. This drug activates signals inside cells by turning on a molecular switch called "PPAR-gamma". In laboratory studies, CS-7017 appears to stop cancer cells from growing and destroys some cancer cells".

This is my new drug, my new hope, courtesy of Daiichi-Sankyo. For the next six weeks my fingers will be crossed when I swallow my morning and evening pills. It is hope, 0.25 mg at a time.

Who knows.... CS-7017 might be the one.

Terror de te amar num sítio tão frágil como o mundo

Mal de te amar neste lugar de imperfeição
Onde tudo nos quebra e emudece
Onde tudo nos mente e nos separa

Native American Farming

Corn, beans and squash, known as 

"The three Sisters", 

formed the core of the native American diet.

Planted efficiently in small, tilled mounds,

Droughts here have killed tens of thousands of Cape Verdeans and forced many more to emigrate. But the islanders who remain have begun to adapt using a range of technologies to grow food in an increasingly arid land.
Dust and Heat
Cape Verde offers two climates: dry and parched. The island of Sal is in the parched category. From the air it looks like a flattened sand dune, but from the ground, it's a moonscape.

medicinal use

Native Americans used Echinacea to treat snake bites and to protect wounds from infections. Today it is promoted for its ability to boost the imune system and ward off infections, particularly the common cold. I grow it just in case the Conservation Commission stops by again. "...but look, but I do have a native plant!"
