<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">The strong, tart odor of pomegranate jam filled the kitchen, marking a solitary moment for a solitary man, alone in </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">the dark and sitting at the end of a long wood table. This was his second meal, just hours after a formal family </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">dinner of lamb, eggplant, and dry red wine. It had been a large gathering and included aunts and uncles, siblings </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">and cousins, the parish priest and several elderly friends. But now, it was quiet. The kitchen was scrubbed and </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">clean. The house was still, but tonight, everyone was alone.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">Abel Danielian was tired of conversation and accommodating others. His mood was restive. He preferred to sit at the </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">edge of table, outside the harsh pool of ceiling light focused on the open jar. Sitting alone, where darkness </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">illuminates memory and moments mingle in the pensive repose of quiet thought, he addressed a plate of cold lamb </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">and the tart pomegranate jam combining to bring a sad peace. He was no longer a grandchild visiting the old home </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">on a holiday. On the day of his grandmother’s funeral, this was a moment of maturity.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">Since moving away, he didn’t eat lamb often and never tasted the pomegranate jam now accenting the strangeness </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">of being once again enshrouded by ancient familiar surroundings. A gathering of extended family, grown to </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">and old fires reignited. The jar containing the jam reflected the moment like a crystal of indeterminate value </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">refracting the overhead light brightly illuminating the table, but quickly surrendering to the gathering darkness at </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">the table’s edge. Refracting glass and translucent jam turned into an ambiguous red and purple jewel of light and </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">dark, like an uncut ruby waiting for the jeweler’s hand.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;" />

<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">bring up the last bottles of pomegranate jam for the table. The cellar stairs strained under the weight of a grown </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">man. He could tell his aging grandmother had not been in the disorderly cellar for a long time. The cold smell of </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">earth and mildew grew stronger as he descended ten poorly lit stairs leading into the darkness. The stonewalls were </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">damp and the wood stairs and shelves decayed. The old coal shuttle opening to the outside at ground level had </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">leaked rain and snow for years, accelerating a quiet deterioration of wood and nail. Turning on a flashlight, he </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">could see a dozen jars of various jams with single white labels marking the contents of each shelf. On each label, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">hand written in Armenian, was the name of the jam. Not speaking the language of his grandmother, he didn’t </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">know which jar contained pomegranate jam, so he brought up three jars, each from different shelves, hoping one </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">was pomegranate jam. Offering the jars to his mother, she held each to the bright kitchen light, nodding “yes”, the </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">third jar was the one.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">Pomegranate jam has a suppressed sweetness, with a cranberry overtone. It is a mature flavor, offering a dark </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">pungent rush followed by a tart, vinegar after taste. More a nectar, pomegranate jam is not for bread; it is a </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">condiment for beef or lamb. Derived from a thickened juice, pomegranate jam is made in the late fall or early winter. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">Reserved for ceremonial and family events, its flavor is reminiscent of more than meals, it is part of a tradition </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">stretching back generations through Southern Europe, the Middle East and Persia. More than jam, it possesses the </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">taste and smell of a different place and a now past generation.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">With the clumsiness of a man alone in the kitchen, he left a trail of dribbled jam on the table. A woman would be </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">more careful, not trickling the valuable nectar, but a man, less subtle, scoops deeply with a knife, leaving too much </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">jam on the blade, trailing jam like sacred blood from the jar to the plate. Now, sitting alone in the kitchen, having </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">finished his solitary meal, he could hear a train several miles away, making its way up the grade along the tracks by </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">the river. The chilly night air was heavy with moisture and sounds traveled great distances like a lonely muted siren </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">calling men to memory. A clock on the wall ticketed off the minutes with a soft click and the refrigerator cycled </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">down and grew quiet.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">comfortable pink bathrobe and thin blue slippers.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">The two figures were alone in the kitchen for a quiet moment, each looking at the open jar of pomegranate jam. “I </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">“Yes, we’ll all miss the house,” she said looking around the kitchen. “But I’ll make pomegranate jam next year for </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap;">He looked at her from the corner of his eyes, and then back to his plate.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #33343d; color: #baa461; font-family: "palatino linotype"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-center; white-space: nowrap;">Lunch at the St. Thomas Hotel was presented like Mass at St. Mary’s Cathedral one block up the street. The maître d <br soft="" />lorded over forty-two tables, dispensing the indulgence of forgiveness with butter and lemon sauce to the soul <br soft="" />weary of means and social position. At lunch, the dark cherry wood tables were set with clean white linen <br soft="" />tablecloths, arranged at an angle, exposing the dark wood corners. In the evening, fresh tablecloths were turned full-<br soft="" />square, modestly covering the table’s exposed wood corners like the bare shoulders of an attractive woman.<br /><br />If dinner was High Mass, lunch was Low Mass. Served with less formal plates and without the background <br soft="" />accompaniment of a string quartet, lunch retained the evening’s elegance of food and service with the holy iconic <br soft="" />table setting of St. Thomas knives, spoons, and forks. Seemingly over-sized in the hand, when held properly, the <br soft="" />implements naturally balanced to slope down, addressing the plate like an artist’s brush to the palette. At the heel of <br soft="" />each piece was the regal crest of the St. Thomas Hotel, molded with gold plate and seemingly chiseled in the heavy <br soft="" />metal. The crest was a battle signet declaring a meal at St. Thomas was more a moral imperative and less mere <br soft="" />cuisine. St. Thomas was a fine, old world hotel and restaurant, and its long-time wealthy patrons made it, for over <br soft="" />one hundred years, the sacred ground of wedding receptions, funeral luncheons, and important meetings to discuss <br soft="" />the business of living with means. It was hard to imagine who was more loyal to tradition – the aging maître d <br soft="" />conducting the afternoon culinary Mass of Absolution, or the customers blessed with a central place in the social <br soft="" />universe of rightful belonging.<br /><br />Stacey Andrews sat by the large window, at the edge of the dining room. With her back facing the corner where the <br soft="" />end of the window frame quickly met the wall, her regal gaze surveyed her dominion. If the maître d was the high <br soft="" />priest of St. Thomas, Stacey was the marble statue of the holy virgin in the corner vestibule, one hand blessing the <br soft="" />faithful and the other touching her sacred heart. But unlike a holy icon at St Mary’s Cathedral, Stacey’s heart was <br soft="" />not filled with the passion of sacrifice. Not a bad woman by most standards, Stacey was a proud woman and her <br soft="" />heart was filled with judgment as she anointed her family and friends with the holy oil of expectation.<br /><br />Crossing the room quickly to the table by the window, Kendyll Andrews ported her purse and satchel with the <br soft="" />rhythm and sway of expectant good news. She maneuvered between tables and behind waiters, never disturbing <br soft="" />patrons or servers. Kendyll was tall, thin, and healthy in the way that tall, well-shaped women are slender and fit. <br soft="" />With toned biceps from the gym, her chocolate brown hair was cut at the shoulder and swayed around her <br soft="" />intelligent and markedly beautiful face, forming a halo of grace, brushing her neck and shoulders like a camel <br soft="" />hairbrush on canvas.<br /><br />Like all women in her early 30’s, Kendyll was expert at the natural deception of beauty and style employed to <br soft="" />confuse interested men and female competitors. All eyes focused as she crossed the floor with great long strides, twice <br soft="" />tossing her hair, then removing her tortoise shell glasses while lowering her head with deference to kiss her mother <br soft="" />quickly on the cheek. With that kiss, curiosity was satisfied and the room’s envious guests angled their silverware <br soft="" />down again, like choreographed weather vanes pointing the direction of the changing wind, swiveling their knives <br soft="" />from their upward pause to the declination of redressing the holy trinity of capers, sauce, and fresh ground pepper. <br soft="" />The room returned to lunch, but with the shifting wind at their backs, mother and daughter sensed the gathering <br soft="" />storm. Flanked by sheer white curtains and heavy royal red drapes, the two women sat quietly for a moment while <br soft="" />a waiter made his way briskly across the room.<br /><br />Kendyll learned well from her mother how to stage manage the female theater of attraction. She understood her <br soft="" />beauty was certain, and temporary. Already haunted by the encroaching whispers of age around her brown eyes, <br soft="" />she was now 32, and in a new relationship that promised refuge from the winds of time blowing landward from off <br soft="" />shore. But her family relationships were strained. Her mother was dissatisfied with her progress. After college and <br soft="" />graduate school, she was single, living two thousand miles away, and out of her mother’s control. Kendyll had <br soft="" />called her mother from Los Angeles requesting an audience, telling her she would arrange “a half day in San <br soft="" />Francisco, on her way home to Chicago.” Phrasing her visit in such rushed and casual tones was a statement of <br soft="" />independence more than reunion. Stacey Andrews, the matriarch and holy mother virgin of the vestibule, was not <br soft="" />pleased with her daughter’s pretended authority – although she graciously accepted her daughter’s request of an <br soft="" />audience.<br /><br />The waiter approached the two ensconced women with halting respect, menus in hand, first directing his attention <br soft="" />to the older woman – whom he understood well. Standing strategically with the sun at his back, pouring light <br soft="" />directly through the white curtain sheers behind him, he began to offer menus when Stacey, her eyes closed to avoid <br soft="" />the bright sun light, ordered abruptly.<br /><br />“Fillet of sole with butter and lemon,” then looking at Kendyll with the blank expression of expectancy, “and my <br soft="" />daughter will have?”<br /><br />“Samuel, how are you? It is so good to see you again.” Kendyll addressed the waiter she had known for many years <br soft="" />with the friendly respect more appropriate for an elderly uncle at family event.<br /><br />“Very good, Mrs., ah, Kendyll,” he paused for uncomfortable moment.<br /><br />“It’s Andrews now. And I’m glad you are well.” Kendyll understood the confusion about her last name and <br soft="" />accepted her part in clarifying the situation for others. “I’d like a spinach salad with a small amount of white meat <br soft="" />chicken, and vinaigrette on the side.”<br /><br />Samuel nodded with the dutiful resolve of a man experienced in serving difficult people. He was a professional in his <br soft="" />own right – an indispensible part of the liturgy at St. Thomas.<br /><br />Staking out conversational territory is a fine art. While argumentative positioning is a male war tactic, for women, it <br soft="" />is a way of life. In the Andrews family, conversation meant one had information of importance, but releasing the <br soft="" />desired news only to reward the listener’s patience. Stacey held her tongue through the meal until, on cue, Kendyll <br soft="" />offered up the anticipated information. She had met a man in Chicago, the relationship was serious, and she had <br soft="" />expectations of “a more permanent arrangement.” Kendyll explained he had inherited the family’s commercial <br soft="" />plumbing distribution business, he was three years younger than Kendyll, and came from an Armenian family.<br /><br />“And he served his mission, where?” Stacey interjected with a curious tone.<br /><br />“He didn’t serve a mission, mother. He isn’t LDS. His family is Catholic.” Kendyll sat up in her chair, bracing for <br soft="" />the storm clouds to blow the weather vane off the roof.<br /><br />“Ladies, excuse me,” the waiter awkwardly interrupted the conversation. “I have the dessert cart. I’d like to <br soft="" />recommend the berry pie,” Samuel showed the plate first to Stacey and then Kendyll. “It came out of the oven just 15 <br soft="" />minutes ago and it is still warm.”<br /><br />Stacey nodded no. Kendyll leaned into the plate and inhaled deeply, “Oh, I could smell that from across the room. It <br soft="" />looks wonderful, and messy.” Then sitting back in chair with a sense of disappointment, “But I can’t eat that. It <br soft="" />must be a thousand calories. Thank you, Samuel, but not today.”<br /><br />As the waiter pushed the cart away, Stacey returned immediately to the subject. “He’s Catholic and American – <br soft="" />what does that mean?<br /><br />“Armenian, mother, not American, but I mean, yes, he is American too,” Kendyll was beginning to stammer with <br soft="" />the speech behaviors of a thirteen year old uncertain of her footing.<br /><br />“A Chicago plumber?” The mother dropped her eyes with disappointment.<br /><br />“Plumbing distributor, Mother. There’s a big difference.” Kendall exhaled with exasperation.<br /><br />Stacy was already incensed. She and her daughter had already engaged the mode of conflict that defined their lives <br soft="" />for thirty years. Kendyll braced for the question that was about to blow in like a gale from the sea, through the <br soft="" />window at their backs, and wash over the lunch table like a tsunami.<br /><br />Stacey pursed her lips, took a breath, and fixed Kendyll with her squinting green eyes. “He’s been married before?”<br /><br />“No, he’s 29 and he’s never been married,” Kendyll answered while rearranging the folded napkin on her lap.<br /><br />“And does he know you’ve already been married twice?” Stacey placed the dagger squarely on target and Kendyll <br soft="" />deflated with defeat.<br /><br />Kendyll was ready for the question, but no less undone when it came. First looking at the ceiling, then around the <br soft="" />room, she saw Samuel waiting by the swinging kitchen door. Raising her hand to get his attention, he started <br soft="" />across the room. Not waiting for him to make it all the way to the table, Kendyll raised her voice, “Samuel, I will <br soft="" />have the berry pie. Could you bring a piece right away please.”<br /><br />Reaching into her purse, Kendyll retrieved her glasses, refolded the napkin on her lap, and looked up at her mother, <br soft="" />the holy marble virgin of St. Thomas, casting judgment from across the table. “Would you like some berry pie, <br soft="" />Mother? It’s warm and looks really messy.” – Jim Eaton</span>Robin Lucile Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03357780817151346062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975812307340440487.post-65647127581610051982015-11-28T23:19:00.004-08:002015-11-28T23:19:57.776-08:00Tangerines and notes by James Eaton<div style="text-align: center;">
