An Edible Jabot Honoring RBG

September 26, 2020 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

Sometimes her neckwear sent a message. To convey her disapproval of newly-appointed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh RBG wore a spiky gold bib. To Obama’s first address to a joint session of congress, she donned a white lace necklace that signaled open flexibility.

Here, I’ve crafted a rhythmic progression of fresh-picked Tokyo bekana leaves strewn with feverfew flowers. Bekana is a fast-growing, fibrous hardy Asian green that reflects RBG’s persistence. Its leaves have veins forging intricate pathways, the way RBG’s mind worked as she explored each issue from every possible angle.

The feverfew flowers are medicinal and anti-inflammatory. RBG notoriously said, “Don’t be distracted by emotions like anger, envy, resentment ….[that] just zap energy and waste time.”

Eat this raw, sprinkled with fresh citrus juice: orange, lemon or lime.

RIP, RBG.

Just a quick note to say K is really enjoying your class. He was excited to make the sushi and the falafel the previous week was awesome- we have been trying (unsuccessfully) for years to get him to eat falafel and so hearing him say he likes falafel now was a breakthrough for us!  Thanks!
