“It was Pollux, chomping into an apple that he’d lightly peppered. That’s how he ate apples. Held the pepper tin in one hand so he could get a jolt in every bite.”

“For the past year, Pollux has been perfecting my favorite soup of those that saved me—it is a corn soup. First he caramelizes fresh-cut sweetcorn, toasting it slowly in a heavy pan, adding onions. Then cubed potatoes tossed lightly in butter, to set a crisp. He adds all of this to a garlicky chicken broth with shaved carrots, cannellini beans, fresh dill, parsley, a dash of cayenne, and heavy cream. The scent was making me delirious. Still.”
― Louise Erdrich, The Sentence: A Novel
