Weekend fardat cu varza

Dupa o saptamana incarcata, petrecuta intre peretii biroului, evadez in bucataria parintilor de la tara. Boxele pulseaza la maxim reinviidu-mi buna dispozitie si ma trimit in pasi de dans catre locul meu de joaca - Bucataria. O varza murata imi face cu ochiul din celalalt capat de masa. Gata! Stiu ce am de facut! Varza a la Cluj! (inspirata din blogul http://www.clipedecluj.ro/spre-varzarie/) Ma inarmez cu un cutit de bucatarie bine ascutit, o toc marunt si o calesc bine, sa crape vecinii de pofta cand or simti mirosul. Intr-un alt vas am pregatit un darab de carne, care astepta sa il pudrez cu sare, piper, cimbru si alte prafuri care mai erau prin bucatarie. Luata de val, cu bucataritul, nici nu bag de seama pisicul, pregatit sa se infrupte din carnita de porc si vita. Sta el ce sta pe ganduri si indrazneste sa se strecoare printre picioarele mesei pina la vasul cu pricina. Ce a urmat? Un caaaatz lung, si doua mieunaturi, dupa care, liniste, pentru ca m-a convins sa-i dau si lui un bot de carne. Intre timp, orezul, umflat si gata sa fie pus in straturi, parca fluiera dupa mine. Clocotea de bucurie ca il voi farda cu carne si varza. Intr-un final bag minunatia asta de produse la cuptor, nu inainte de a fi cladite frumos in straturi, si invelite cu o mantie de sos de tomate si inecate in smantana. Recunosc, piesa asta mi-a imprimat un ritm de culinarit nemaipomenit, manutele-mi trebaluind ca piciorusele unei furnici.

Intr-un final, imi strang jucariile de pe masa de lucru, adica, lingurile, farfuriile, cratitele si le scald in spume la lavoarul din gradina. Ehhh am reusit sa contaminez aerul cu mirosul Verzei de la Cluj... Multumita de prestatie, imi umplu un blid mare cu mancare, il incarc cu marar proaspat cules de la umbra ciresului, si maninc cu nesat... Cu burta la soare, continui sa ascult muzica buna si incerc sa nu ma gandesc ca va urma o alta saptamana inchisa intre patru pereti...

Et voila capodopera mea: Sa aveti pofta!

Why women cry

Am gasit citeva versuri care m-au impresionat enorm. Lectura placuta.

A little boy asked his mother,
"Why are you crying?"

"Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.

His Mom just hugged him and said,
"And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does mother seem to cry
for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason,"
?was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a
man, still wondering why women cry..

Finally he put in a call to God.
When God got on the phone, he asked, "God,
why do women cry so easily?"

God said
"When I made the woman she had to be
special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to
carry the weight of the world,

yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure
childbirth and the rejection that many
times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her
to keep going when everyone else gives
up, and take care of her family
through sickness and fatigue without
complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her
children under any and all
circumstances, even when her child has
hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her
husband through his faults and
fashioned her from his rib to protect
his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good
husband never hurts his wife, but
sometimes tests her strengths and her
resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to
shed. This is hers exclusively to use
whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," God says, "the
beauty of a woman is not in the
clothes she wears, the figure that she
carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in
her eyes, because that is the doorway
to her heart - the place where love
resides."

Please send this to ten beautiful
women you know today. - You will
boost another woman's self-esteem.
Pass it on to men too - perhaps they
will then understand "why women cry"
