Sour, Spiced & Salted Summer Fruit Salad = absolut

Sour, Spiced & Salted Summer Fruit Salad = absolutely what you need to make right now. It embraces the first wave of strawberries & cherries of summer & pairs them with watermelon and grapes, so it’s basically all my (your?) favorite fruits. It’s a blend of refreshing, sweet and tart flavors and there’s something so glorious about its mix of reds and purples, making it more than easy on the eyes. The secret is all in the spice blend!

You can make up this summer fruit salad just before serving, or ahead of time. It’s at its best when it’s had at least 30 minutes for the salted spice mix to draw out some of the fruit juices and for all the flavors to mingle. You can keep it in the fridge overnight or even a little longer than that, but be aware that the longer the fruit sits in its own juices, the softer (and more deeply hued) the strawberries will become. I especially like it the next day for breakfast, atop some coconut yogurt, served with a drizzle of raw honey, a sprinkle of dried mint & another pinch or so of salt and pepper to really make it punchy!

I've carried a single photo of my mother & I to ev

I've carried a single photo of my mother & I to every place I've ever lived for the last 20-plus years, but I've never really looked at it.

I'd tuck the blurred image - me, squinty & self-assured despite the fact that my pink-buttoned dress likely hides a diaper; her, focused on the camera, the growth of an old perm caught in the breeze around the neckline of her floral smock - away into an ancient photo sleeve as if it didn't exist. Because in all the important ways: it didn't.

It's an image of motherhood incongruous alongside the woman I came to know, later. The clouds behind us are ink-swirled, the tide so far out I imagine our toes squishing into wet sand. I wonder on what day or why my dad bundled us up to drive likely hours to find a patch of beach. He's behind the camera, his enthusiasm greater than his photography skills, as we hover around the edges of softness in the exposure.

The two of us appear united, pointing at a starfish on a rock in her hand. But sometimes I wonder if it's telling that she's not touching me at all, despite crouching down to the height of the toddler on her left.

Did she know then that she didn't love me? Or did that come later?

I remember tromping up & down rock pools on stubby legs, gathering up starfish for my pail, sloshing them around as I clambered over barnacles & slid on seaweed. The jolt of sun-warmed water on my skin a surprise after the shock of the sea.

When I returned triumphant, starfish bounty ready to behold, my dad taught me that we had to return them home. We could count their limbs and admire their colors. But starfish need the sea, he said. And ever so gently, we held them on sandy palms and let the waves reclaim them.

Staring at this photo, really seeing it for the first time, is the same for me. I see her smile without its later venom & let myself imagine this day at the seaside like it might have simply been: a time when, perhaps, my mother did love me. Once.

It gives me a few stolen moments in the seeing where I can, ever so gently with my heart, open my chubby little fist and release the memories of who she became later, like starfish into the surf of my own salt.
