The Journey 57
Bette: I watch Tina and wonder how she does that, I mean how does she do that, know the right food to bring and when I will feel like eating that piece of food? I watch her for just a few seconds as she selects some shaved ham, some creamy cambert, some red ripe tomatoes, wood fired bread that is crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle. She opens the fridge and reaches in and pulls out the mustard, some sparkling water and a lime.
Tina: “What is it?” I say without stopping what I am doing.
Bette: I rest one hand on the counter, trying to look relaxed and comfortable. “How do you do that?”
Tina: “Do what?” And although I give no indication of it, I am acutely aware that Bette is watching me.
Bette: “Always know what food to pack?” and as Tina reaches across me to pick up the pepper, I am reminded that the kitchen is really her domain. She smiles a little but does not look up, she just keeps collect the items we need.
Tina: I just laugh a little.
Bette: “Come on tell me, how you do that.” And I am genuinely curious, so much so I frown when I ask the question.
Tina: I stop what I am doing and meet Bette’s intense gaze. I have always loved how curious and determined she can be about the smallest thing. “Instinct I guess. I just think how I am feeling, how you might be feeling, what the weather is like, stuff like that.”
Bette: “Uh huh.” And I do not really understand.
Tina: And I can tell Bette really has not grasped it. “Umm, just think about today, the sun is out but the weather is mild. We want clean tastes and quality, some thing light but substantial.”
Bette: I silently wonder if we are still talking about lunch.
Tina: “How come you are so interested, you’ve never asked about it before.” And I indicate to Bette to pass the esky to put the food in.
Bette: I feel embarrassed that I have never commented before, Tina always went to so much trouble in the kitchen. I screw the top on the thermos that holds the strong coffee I made while we were talking. I shrug my shoulders in answer to Tina’s question. “I guess I just don’t get it.” I say a little defeated. I can see Tina is amused. I pick the esky up. “I’ll put this in the car if you want to get the girls.”
