About: I teach Spanish and learn food and coffee. Involved in Syracuse Slow Food, I'd like to see Victory Gardens all over the city. One son is a double grad of the CIA working in Santa Barbara, other son and wife grow most of their protein and vegetables.
Favorite foods: Anything bursting with its own flavor without interference from anything artificial. But for specifics: my-garden-fresh salads, any fully organic soup or stew that starts with a properly done sofrito, and any dish that surprises or teaches.
Last bite on earth: ... must come from my garden: a sugar snap pea if I die in the spring, a grape tomato if in the summer. If in the fall, a bite of a spigold apple from my tree. If it's winter, I guess it would have to be ruote de carro, our family comfort food.
When I lived in Asturias (northern Spain) in the mid-70's, there was little money but the best food I've ever had. Sopa de ajo was prepared frequently for "cena" - that 10 pm light supper that ruins you for normal USA eating hours for the rest of your life. In the version I learned to make, bread crumbs were added to the broth and garlic and allowed to simmer briefly. The bread, of course, was at least a day or two old and it had been baked in big ovens in the village.
