Friday Night Fish : Andalusia vs. US Midwest

Whelp – more fresh color on the Spanish version of “Fish for Lent”. Mayo-based coleslaw can’t compete with fresh tomatoes. dievca will argue that her Lake Perch was lightly breaded and cooked to perfection. And the experience is not something you can find in NYC. Even through she grew up in the Midwest, dievca felt like an Anthropologist watching the behaviors of a new species.
dievca’s Dutch friend is enjoying the sun and heat of Spain.

Heading back to Wet Snow

Should be an interesting time as the slides are from before she was born. Her oldest brother will be helping and she asked some cousins to be “on call” for identification help. Doesn’t matter – there will be 6 “rugrats” running around and that, plus wet snow, will make for a good time. dievca’s got her snow boots and snow pants at the ready. Have a good weekend!
Mussels with Master and Sylvia Plath
Posted: March 21, 2023 Filed under: Entertainment, Master, Neighborhood Anecdotes (NYC) | Tags: BDSM, Belgian, D/s, D/s relationships, dievca, Food, Life, Love, Master, mussels, restaurant, submissive, Sylvia Plath, UES Leave a commentMaster and dievca enjoyed a an evening of mussels at the B. Cafe on the UES.
Mondays are a quiet dining night in NYC, so the experience was low-key and relaxed. The mussels were fresh and well-cooked.
Years ago, a bartender explained to dievca how you can have excellent mussels all year on the East Coast. The mussel are sourced from the Maine on down the Atlantic Coast depending upon the season. Hence, good mussels all year. At the time, dievca was confused because the mussel season in Europe was shorter (as far as she knew).
Let’s honor the joy brought by a messy job with Sylvia Plath:
Mussel Hunter At Rock Harbor
Colorists came to get the
Good of the Cape light that scours
Sand grit to sided crystal
And buffs and sleeks the blunt hulls
Of the three fishing smacks beached
On the bank of the river’s
Backtracking tail. I’d come for
Free fish-bait: the blue mussels
Clumped like bulbs at the grassroot
Margin of the tidal pools.
Dawn tide stood dead low. I smelt
Mud stench, shell guts, gulls’ leavings;
Heard a queer crusty scrabble
Cease, and I neared the silenced
Edge of a cratered pool-bed.
The mussels hung dull blue and
Conspicuous, yet it seemed
A sly world’s hinges had swung
Shut against me. All held still.
Though I counted scant seconds,
Enough ages lapsed to win
Confidence of safe-conduct
In the wary other world
Eyeing me. Grass put forth claws,
Small mud knobs, nudged from under,
Displaced their domes as tiny
Knights might doff their casques. The crabs
Inched from their pygmy burrows
And from the trench-dug mud, all Camouflaged in mottled mail
Of browns and greens. Each wore one
Claw swollen to a shield large
As itself—no fiddler’s arm
Grown Gargantuan by trade,
But grown grimly, and grimly
Borne, for a use beyond my
Guessing of it. Sibilant
Mass-motived hordes, they sidled
Out in a converging stream
Toward the pool-mouth, perhaps to
Meet the thin and sluggish thread
Of sea retracing its tide-
Way up the river-basin.
Or to avoid me. They moved
Obliquely with a dry-wet
Sound, with a glittery wisp
And trickle. Could they feel mud
Pleasurable under claws
As I could between bare toes?
That question ended it—I
Stood shut out, for once, for all,
Puzzling the passage of their
Absolutely alien
Order as I might puzzle
At the clear tail of Halley’s
Comet coolly giving my
Orbit the go-by, made known
By a family name it
Knew nothing of. So the crabs
Went about their business, which
Wasn’t fiddling, and I filled
A big handkerchief with blue
Mussels. From what the crabs saw,
If they could see, I was one
Two-legged mussel-picker.
High on the airy thatching
Of the dense grasses I found
The husk of a fiddler-crab,
Intact, strangely strayed above
His world of mud—green color
And innards bleached out blown off
Somewhere by much sun and wind;
There was no telling if he’d
Died recluse of suicide
Or headstrong Columbus crab.
The crab-face, etched and set there,
Grimaced as skulls grimace: it
Had an Oriental look,
A samurai death mask done
On a tiger tooth, less for
Art’s sake than God’s. Far from sea —-
Where red-freckled crab-backs, claws
And whole crabs, dead, their soggy
Bellies pallid and upturned,
Perform their shambling waltzes
On the waves’ dissolving turn
And return, losing themselves
Bit by bit to their friendly
Element—this relic saved
Face, to face the bald-faced sun.

Bao
Posted: February 18, 2023 Filed under: Home and Garden, Neighborhood Anecdotes (NYC) | Tags: Bao, BDSM, Chinese, D/s, dievca, friendship, Life, Love, Soup Dumplings, traveling Leave a commentdievca had been introduced to soup dumplings by a friend in NYC who opened a restaurant, Bund on Broadway, just before COVID. They made it through with pick-up service and flash frozen dumplings. dievca bought a steamer just for the goodness of eating their tasty offerings.
dievca caught up with a good friend in CA and her friend wanted to hit a favorite restaurant, Din Tai Fung. It was fabulous! (Note: this is the same friend, whose elderly Mother navigates NYC Chinatown at Warp Speed.) Sometimes you feel very taken care of with the beautiful comfort food.
The word “bao” has two meanings in Chinese. One way it means “steamed bun,” and when said another way it means “treasure” or “something precious.”

Watching the dawn break across the city is a cozy experience. she’s wearing the fourth rendition of inexpensive Afghan Slipper Socks and thinking of her family.
dievca bought three pairs from Pier One in college as gifts for her Mom, her Aunt and herself. She wore out her pair, wore out her Aunt’s pair (taken when her Aunt died from Cancer) and wore out her Mom’s when Mom could no longer wear them because of slipping.
A 30 year process.
Pier One stores have closed and the J. Crew rendition ripped in the heel after 3 years. dievca didn’t know where to get her next pair of slippers…until she looked on Etsy!

Coffee Anyone?

Posted: January 2, 2023 Filed under: Home and Garden, Neighborhood Anecdotes (NYC), Poetry | Tags: BDSM, D/s, Dawn, dievca, Life, Love, Monday, Morning, NYC, peace, photo, poem, Sunrise, translation, Tu Fu, Winter 1 CommentWINTER DAWN
The men and beasts of the zodiac
Have marched over us once more.
Green wine bottle and red lobster shells,
Both emptied, litter the table.
“Should auld acquaintance be forgot?” Each
Sits listening to his own thoughts,
And the sound of cars starting outside.
The birds in the eaves are restless,
Because of the noise and light. Soon now
In the winter dawn I will face
My fortieth year. Borne headlong
Towards the long shadows of sunset
By the headstrong, stubborn moments,
Life whirls past like drunken wildfire.
Translated from the Chinese by Kenneth Rexroth
Tu Fu (713-771) was the leading poet in the T’ung Dynasty of 8th century China. In this remarkable piece called “Winter Dawn,” he captures a moment of flashing epiphany with language, so simple, that speaks from another plain and another time, decades earlier, about the swift flood of life rushing by — as John Prine wrote, “like a broken-down dam.”
dievca believes that Mr. Rexford took liberties in the translation to draw the poem into the future – its still lovely.

Gracefully with Personality: Vivienne Westwood at YOOX and dievca’s closet
Posted: December 31, 2022 Filed under: Body Type, Dresses, Fashion, Shoes | Tags: aging, BDSM, D/s, dievca, Elegant, erotic, Honor, Life, Love, Master, Presentation Outfits, Shopping, Vivienne Westwood Leave a commentThe first 7 Vivienne Westwood dresses are available at YOOX.
The second 8 Vivienne Westwood items are in dievca’s closet (starting at the 2nd green dress). she’s missing photos of her indigo “Hangover” dress that has been worn to the woof and her “go to” jersey funeral dress in a very dark burgundy.
When Century 21 was open in NYC – dievca would haunt the Vivienne Westwood racks and if they had a sample sale – she was there. The items are cut for curvy in mind and ladylike enough for Master, quirky enough for His dievca.
dievca will be wearing the sequin dress for New Year’s Eve.
Obviously dievca did not know Vivienne Westwood, but she admired her boldness in growing old gracefully with personality. May we all grow older gracefully with personality!
