Toni-torts

I've just realised I don't have anything Christmas-y ready to post, but I'm sharing this intriguing dessert, which seems like a spin on tortoni? I would make it for Christmas.

Tomorrow I'll post a cognac cake recipe, because Christmas also personally makes me think rich, aromatic flavours of alchoholic beverages and spices being used in recipes

On my last day in Buenos Aires, I went to Café Tortoni and had delicious churros and heartwarming hot chocolate and read my book and it was a lovely morning.

Almond Tortoni a frozen mousse of light, fluffy almonds with red and green cherries and almonds as garnish. These are incredibly simple to make, and if you prepare them a few weeks in advance and store them in the freezer, their flavor will only get better.

Banished Wonders

by Ada Límon

The American linden sways nonplussed by the storm, a bounce here, a shimmy there, just shaking like music

left over from the night's end wafting into the avenues before sleep. I remember once walking down Clinton Street, and singing

that line returning, New York is cold, but I like where I'm living. There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening. And of course

there was music, though it was me and my incessant remembering. And here now, what does one even offer?

Darling Cockroaches of the Highest Order, hard underthings of hard underworlds, I am utterly suspicious of advice.

What is the world like out there? Are you singing in the tunnels?

I should say nothing sometimes. I should say, Memory will leap from the mountain.

Dearest purple spiderwort in the ditch's mud, how did you do it? Such bravery, such softness, even with all that name calling and rage.

No one wants to be a pretty thing all the time. But no one wants to be the weed. Alone in Argentina at a cafe, I never felt like dancing, I screwed

my face up so it said nothing and no one and never. Borges lost his sight over years, and yet sometimes it is best to be invisible.

What is it to be seen in the right way? As who you are? A flash of color, a blur in the crowd, something spectacular but untouchable.

And now the world is gone. No more Buenos Aires or Santiago. No tango, no samba. No more pisco sours sweet and sticky and piercing the head's stubborn brick.

Mistral writes: We don't need all the things that used to give us pleasure. Still some dumb desire, to sneak into the cities of the world

again, a window, to sit at Cafe Tortoni and refuse an invitation because I can. Now we endure.

Endure time, this envenomed veil of extremes--loss and grief and reckoning.

Mistral writes: I killed a woman in me: One I did not love. But I do not want to kill that longing woman in me. I love her and I want her to go on longing

until it drives her mad, that longing, until her desire is something

like a blazing flower, a tree shaking off the torrents of rain as if it is simply making music.

John Singer Sargent (American/British, 1856-1925) • Isabella Stewart Gardner • 1888 • Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, Massachusetts

Isabella Stewart Gardner • 1888

Isabella Stewart Gardner was a philanthropist and art collector. Upon receiving a hefty inheritance, she and her husband Jack founded the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, which was built to resemble a Venetian villa. The building included apartments in which the couple would live and entertain.

The Stewart museum was the site of the greatest unsolved art heists in history; and also the costliest. In 1990, two men dressed as policemen approached the entrance to the museum. The museum was closed to the public at the time and, ignoring protocol, a security guard allowed the men in. Two security officers were tied up and gagged in the basement while the thieves were at work cutting canvases out of their frames and grabbing priceless art objects that to this day, have not been located. It is estimated that the total value of the stolen artworks is $600 million dollars.

Rembrandt's The Storm on the Sea of Galilee • 1633

Among the paintings stolen were Rembrandt's The Storm on the Sea of Galilee and Man and Woman in Black. Johannes Vermeer's The Concert, and Manet's Chez Tortoni. A Chinese-Gu vase from 12th century BCE and several drawings were also taken.

Vermeer's The Concert • c. 1664

As of 2015, art experts believe that The Concert is the single most valuable artwork ever stolen, valued at over $250 million dollars.

The empty frames of the missing paintings remain on the walls of the museum. There have been suspects, including Boston mobsters and, interestingly, The Irish Republican Army, though not enough evidence or leads were established to prosecute the culprits and locate the artworks.
