Vice President Richard Nixon in Hawaii

(Hank Walker. 1960)

Der Worst of Chefkoch-Blogger

In einer WG, Köln

Sein Blick ist von dem Scrollen der Rezepte
so müd geworden, dass er nichts mehr hält.
Ihm ist, dass Essen immer Scheiße wäre
und eben jene Scheiße seine Welt.

Toast, Ananas, die Creme von der Frische,
die im allerkleinsten Förmchen kocht,
ist nur ein Kampf von Saft um eine Mitte,
in der betäubt ein großer Wille pocht.

Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang seiner Lippen
sich lautlos auf -. Dann geht Hawaii hinein,
wird später auf die Kloschüssel sich tippen -
und hört im Herzen auf zu sein.

Guten Hunger!

The warming weather has us (prematurely) thinking of spring. In that vein here’s a lovely yellow poppy found in Hawaii. One of the many gorgeous plates in Indigenous Flowers of the Hawaiian Islands (1885).

Just in case you don’t know the man behind thissong (and I guarantee you know the song): Israel “Iz” Kamakawiwo'ole, or Bruddah Iz, was a phenomenal Hawaiian musician and activist. He spent his life making  music and promoting the ideas of Hawaiian independence and the negative impacts of the tourism industry on native Hawaiian people.  

(This is my favorite video of Iz, talking about his life and singing a song from Facing Future called “White Sandy Beach.” It’s beautiful. He was  beautiful.) 

Iz died on June 26, 1997 and is survived by his widow, Marlene, and their daughter Ceslie-Ann “Wehi.” His ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean at Mākua Beach on July 12, 1997, while thousands of fans celebrated his life. The gifs above are from video taken at the funeral and used for the What a Wonderful World video.
