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.

Dear Ms. Nancy, Thank you for teaching me how to cook. A lot of my skills have developed through cooking. Cooking has also given me a bigger appetite for more foods. I can also make my own cook book! Some of my favorite foods that I've cooked with you are butter, date candys, tzatziki, pickles and potato leek soup. Thanks for giving me my cooking skills. Love, R. (8 years old)
