Watercress in New York City

Watercress and pomelo salad with crisp shallot

Edible Brooklyn's spring edition is here! It is all about Water.

If you like green things, here is a sneak peak at my story about city watercress and the other two cresses that are a better foraging bet in these urban surrounds.

Barbarea verna (winter cress, yellowrocket)

And there is a bright watercress and orange salad at 66 Square Feet (the Food).

Please, please don't tell me that the weed I have been yanking out is edible? Think I will find a clump and let it go a bit to see what it looks like ...

Gotta make this foraging thing a priority .... when I retire.

Afterwards in the street, she looks around the neighborhood. "Yes, it is certified now."

She refers to a phenomenon of moviegoing which I have called certification. Nowadays when a person lives somewhere, in a neighborhood, the place is not certified for him. More than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood. But if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood, it becomes possible for him to live, for a time at least, as a person who is Somewhere and not Anywhere."

The Moviegoer, Walker Percy

"Die kierie kom uit Indonisie, gesny van 'n tak wat van jongs af omslinger was deur a wildevy se rank. Hulle het saam grootgeword, en die rank het sy spoor op die tak gelos. Daarom is die slinger ook oneweredig, en hier,"se hy, "by die punt van die kierie moes daar iets gebeur het - die slinger en die tak het inmekaar gevleg en 'n knoop gemaak. Die natuur het die kierie so gemaak."

"n Kieriemaker sou dit eweredig gedoen het," se ek.

"My kind," se meneer Boje, "vermy die reguit lyn."
