I'm in Florida and my wife's sister Millie greeted us with some PuertoRican "Pasteles".
A slow-food!
The ingredients are: pork cooked in a sofsrito sauce: olives, onions, green peppers, garlic, cilantro, chick peas and raisins, then wrapped and tied in dry banana leaves and pasteles paper and boiled for 45 minutes. This process takes several hours to a whole day depending on how many you are making.
As I was enjoying my Pasteles I was remembering all the slow-foods my mother and two grandmothers made.
Enough said?
I purpose a national Slow-Food Day. The other guys are required to close, all microwaves must be unplugged and we dine only on slow-foods all day that must be eaten around a table.
In the meantime find and cook an old family slow-food recipe – you may have as much fun making it as you do eating it.
From my tub to yours–
Carpe Diem,
Carl

Two couples met at church.
Smiled,
Shook hands,
“How ‘r you.”
“Doing fine.”
Once more,,,
Like hundreds of previous times.
Seeing each other in a fast-food chain.
They glanced at each other
When…they wouldn’t be seen.
No shaken hands.
No questions.
No answers.
It was enough
To know they could say
“Saw a friend Last night…
In a restaurant chain.
… modern communication.
