It's true that I melted a stick of butter this evening, and baked a corn casserole. My daughter had requested this, and that I follow the real recipe, not the one I made up last time, without all that butter and sour cream, more like cornbread with corn in it. The butter recipe is better.
But butter was also on my mind because of WGLT's
Poetry Radio, which paired two of my very short poems from
Nocturnes--"In the style of a Japanese courtesan" and "Almost Winter"--with the song "Butter" from
The Hidden Treasures of Taj Mahal, a bluesy album.
These poems aired on Thanksgiving, a buttery day, just my kind of Random Coinciday, but you can also hear them as a
podcast if you like.
Little did I remember that there is a movie called
Butter, about butter carving, but now I feel I must see it someday. It has Jennifer Garner in it and Alicia Silverstone. And butter!
And Hugh Jackman.
Hugh Jackman.
And little did I know, not having been there at all, let alone in the right light, that the actual Taj Mahal is known for turning yellow.
It could be carved from butter.
Thanks to Wikipedia for the stick of
butter (by Steve Karg) and the
Taj Mahal! Thanks to Bruce Bergethon at WGLT for taping and airing the poems. Thanks to
IMDb for the movie poster. Thanks to Taj Mahal for the smooth music. And thanks to Hugh Jackman.
