A nice Ethiopian lunch today!
Timatim (tomato salad), Gomen (collard greens), Azifa (green lentil salad), and Kik Alicha (yellow split-peas).
So much chopping and dicing and mincing! 😓

![An Asher Durand landscape with a dramatic sky, a large tree on the left half of the canvas, and mountains in the distant horizon. In the foreground an American Indian perhaps signals to four others in the midground. Sold in 1938 with sold with another painting, Close of a Sultry Day, now at Richmond Art Museum and featured here in a post on Nov. 27, 2025, this painting is described by the Union League Club as follows: "Verdant landscapes with tall spreading oaks, and hills
in the distance; one [painting] with an Indian invoking spirits, with tribesmen in the middle distance." Photographed while on view July 3, 2026, at the Church in Sag Harbor, N.Y. (Lawall no. 106.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:szj2qzkpnhamluv4zsye443r/bafkreiawj5uhldcskydzw232bpxcz64muyz7djfd2qo7s3cbnzphpdn5eu)
![Summer landscape with a river on the left and cattle on the right under a grove of trees along the river bank. From the April 1915 Bulletin of the Met: "One of the latest of his pictures is called a 'Summer Afternoon,' and epresents a quiet landscape, with water, meadow, trees, and cattle, all bathed in the soft, calm, and mellow light of a warm day, after the fierce heat of noon has subsided, and before the breeze of evening stirs the foliage. The sky and atmosphere, the vegetation, and especially the noble groups of trees, all breathe an air of quiet, brooding warmth and repose. All Durand's rare faculty appears in the latter [the trees], which are full of local character; the details of the scene are exquisitely true, but the surpassing charm is that delicate and deep feeling which revives, as we gaze, the absolute sensation, and above all the sentiment of nature, under this aspect--a quality and a distinction which none of our scenic artists possess in so high a degree as the venerable friend of Cole, and, with him, the founder of an American school of landscape which has, at home and abroad, shed a peculiar renown upon the art of this country. We rejoice to find that Durand's powers of execution and tone of feeling are as vivid and pure as ever; this picture has all his most endeared characteristics."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:szj2qzkpnhamluv4zsye443r/bafkreiciuzn7amkfqli3pg566ufd6wymlkmnld5c7ia2sgrzjelvoej2om)
