Friday \u00a0January 16, 2015 \u00a0 \u2014 \u00a0Bragging rights down the street\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s post began with a morning email from Gilbert Sunghera, sj, an immensely creative \u00a0teacher for UDM’s Archie students and for people across the country seeking a vision for a local sacred place, a nationally known consultant. \u00a0Around the Jesuit community he gets some teasing for another expertise. \u00a0He knows his fast foods and keeps on turning up new foodie finds while roaming Detroit as part of the School of Architecture\u2019s commitment to\u00a0the city\u2019s rebirth. \u00a0No surprise, either; he trained from childhood in the heartland of fast food, Los Angeles. \u00a0 He emailed 3 Detroit lovers \u2014 Sr. Beth Ann Finster, ssj, Joel Medina, sj, and me \u2014 long before dawn: “I guess it is official.\u201d \u00a0www.dailydetroit.com\/2015\/01\/15\/buddys-wins-award-tastiest-pizza-north-america<\/a>\u00a0 (download the official Twitter app\u00a0here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The original Buddy’s, 4 miles east of campus on 6 Mile, stands high on my Welcome-to-Detroit bucket list. \u00a0Lots of us are fanatics. \u00a0Thank you, Gilbert, for word of\u00a0<\/strong>the Chowzter award for \u201cTastiest Pizza in North America.\u201d \u00a0<\/strong>It\u00a0changed my thinking about today\u2019s post; \u00a0I looked for a poet who writes about cooking and food and found someone new to me. \u00a0Judging the poem I found and her vita, she will become familiar to readers of the Work Day list. \u00a0How have I missed her work until now?<\/p>\n

Best to read the poem out loud with a few pauses. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Jane Hirshfield\u2019s short bio appears beneath the poem. \u00a0 \u00a0It’s taken from a longer article about her at this site: \u00a0http:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/jane-hirshfields-5-poetic-essentials-for-home-cooks-expert-essentials-194022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

p.s.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Homecoming weekend on campus, Lady Titans and the guys both won their last games. \u00a0Packers play on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Post: \u00a0“Da Capo\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take the used-up heart like a pebble
\nand throw it far out.<\/p>\n

Soon there is nothing left.
\nSoon the last ripple exhausts itself
\nin the weeds.<\/p>\n

Returning home, slice carrots, onions, celery.
\nGlaze them in oil before adding
\nthe lentils, water, and herbs.<\/p>\n

Then the roasted chestnuts, a little pepper, the salt.
\nFinish with goat cheese and parsley. Eat.
\nYou may do this, I tell you, it is permitted.
\nBegin again the story of your life.<\/p>\n

(Note: the soup of this poem is one we made at Greens of San Francisco)<\/em><\/p>\n
