Girl with Fish, Ellen McDermott
This kid has big plans for this fish. Cooking it whole, of course, to maximize flavor and presentation. She’s also thinking of flavoring the outside with fennel seed and orange zest, and stuffing its insides with basil, orange slices, and thumb tacks. She wants to grow up to be a chef, but not a celebrity.
Thumb tacks? Are you just checking to see if we are paying attention?
Thumb tacks. Nice touch, I wouldn’t have thought of it, but it’s a much fresher idea than the usual ground glass.
Thumb tacks. That was her idea, not mine.
Allora, mi scusi. Ero confuso.
ho mangiato qualque chiodetto con il piatto di pesce!…ho un attacco di acido. povera me.
oh mamma zingara, mi dispiace.
Mark,
Non e problema. Io parlo attraverso i occhi delle ragazze.
chi e’ la ragazza con gli occhi selvaggi, e la bocca irato? e’ una parente? perche il pesce sta sedendo nel grembo? io ancora ho l’acido!…penso che io non mai mangiare il pesce!
