It seems we are on a roll of things in common. We had “caldo verde “ my favourite Portuguese soup made with potatoes and a special “cabbage” which I grow in Dublin especially to make this soup. It normally has chorizo, but it is optional. And my favourite which I haven’t found here yet is Greens and Black 85% dark chocolate . Stopped buying salt one because it has more sugar! Lethal stuff.
Wow Liz, very touching and super expressive. Many references connecting to my own experience. Torrential rains here in Portugal. Taking refuge in a small coffee shop. Then I read your poem. And the rain lifted !
