Ground beef in enough water to cover. Simmer. Add canned
tomatoes, lima beans, corn and celery,Tabasco, onion, bell pepper. That’s what
the dead do: leave uswith a list of ingredients, with
meager instruction, without measurements. This is the partial
recipe, penciled in my mother’s hand,on a child’s scrap of red and blue
ruled paper. There are norules for bringing up
the rear: only hungerand the fiery memory
of the bowl we believedcould never be empty.
