November 21, Jerusalem. TY”H
I have recently come into the possession of an approximately 100 year old manuscript through bizarre happenstance facilitated by science and progress and the irreversible gift of genetics. Le Grand Dish being that my great grandmother’s manuscript was unearthed in a basement in the Bronx ??? and KarmaLucky me is the grateful owner of this treasure. A gift that just keeps going. Any sexante were obviously bleached out of certain sections but I think I can take artistic ownership and provide Myriam with the sex life she deserves.
I kinda sorta translated it from the French, but am now committed to learning lefrancaise vrai (in Jerusalem). It’s rare that a gift just plops into your lap, not a spiritual or conceptual gifts but a a real 3-D noun, a book that some cool writer lady wrote, probably edited, to grammatical virtue. Then bound and styled the cover, at a time when gender roles were you know, blablablahhhh and it wasn’t so easy to be an free wheeling outspoken femme in le mond.
But the best part, literally a gift from God, is that she’s a sexy French Jewish lady and because TY’H matrilineal descent is real, and guess what :I’m Jewish!
I think my mom once mentioned a Jewish French grandmother, or maybe I just dreamed it?
It’s not much after reading Myriam’s manuscript that Poof! here I am. I thought it’d only be a week, but three weeks in and I’m in love. Feeling the eternal Jewish woman energy of the place and also my great grandmother’s energy and blood that flows through me, although genetically I’m only 48% jewish, it’s 100% Jewish according to Halacha i.e. Jewish law. Ms. Roxy now might like me better or her son.
No recipe: I don’t have a kitchen. Eating lots of Jerusalem bagels with french butter and sliced tomatoes and cucumbers ( the best ever! Puts the coops ware to shame)
