Chicory Apple Salad
Notes
20201012, "I sincerely send my warm regards to our compatriots in the south as well, and hope that this health crisis will be overcome soon, and that the day will come when North and South join hands once again."
That's a line from Kim Jong-un's speech at the military parade marking the 75th anniversary of the Workers' Party's founding. It likely reflects a wish to comfort a people worn down by last month's shooting incident, the complicated external factors around the US election, the never-ending "virus" quarantine measures, and the endless monsoon season (read: climate crisis).
I don't think the two divided states necessarily have to become one. But I do hope that, at the very least, things don't escalate the Korean peninsula toward extreme crisis, that not even the smallest threat plays out. Beyond that, there's already a mountain of problems that humanity - that we - need to solve by "joining hands."
Yesterday I went to the mart and bought some pleasantly bitter #chicory. Cut into bite-sized pieces and paired with seasonal #apple, olive oil, balsamic, and nuts, it makes for a very well-behaved #breakfast. #salad #morningroutine
