Photo, “The Recipe Tender (Yellow Recipe Box)”

Here! You can see the recipe box. The recipe box is “RECIPE TENDER” from the 1950s. But, I do not know much about my grandma’s recipe box. You can see a name for the business on the business postage card. The business was Richards Rosen Associates, Inc. I still do not know who made the recipe box. I do not even know when or exactly what year. As you can see, the recipe box is very old with very old recipe cards. You can see the very old recipe cards in the slot. My grandma would “tender” each card with a unique food recipe. I can still make drinks and salads with my grandma’s recipe box; however, other recipes for food will require cautionary reading before cooking anything in the kitchen. You may consider this 1950s vintage. Even from internet search and internet research, I know very little about this yellow recipe box. The “recipe tender” recipe box contains references to California hotels and cans of fish that no longer exist. Call this yellow recipe box my guide to 1950s evolution of eating and cooking in America. I must be very, very careful with some recipes while cooking. Some cooking methods from the past are now impossible or unsafe. Also, the concept of “health” was very mysterious and misleading in the 1950s. At least you can get the idea. The recipe box is vintage and respectable for my personal collection. I cannot find the RECIPE TENDER on the internet. The business for my grandma’s recipe box was New York related. I can even find a recipe for the “Zombie Drink” inside this yellow recipe box. Cool, huh?

The information is excellent; however, the grammar is poor. It’s more fashionable by marketing, and, it’s less reasonable by science. Just what exactly are “spacecraftheads” or is that error?

Do you know what a “recipe box” is? A recipe box is a box for recipes. You can write a recipe. Or, you can type a recipe. Or, you can print a recipe. You can write a recipe by pen, pencil, or printer ink. A recipe box is for recipes. Here, in my photo, you can see a yellow box. It’s a yellow recipe box. And, the recipe box is called “RECIPE TENDER” or “recipe tender”. What does “recipe tender” mean? I am not sure. The name “recipe tender” can be a name for the yellow recipe box. Or, the name “recipe tender” can be a name for the kitchen cook’s act of cooking. The history of this box is beyond my exact understanding. My grandma’s recipes are in this yellow “recipe tender” box. My mom was the keeper of this yellow recipe tender box until the day of her passing from a heart attack. Honestly, my mom was collecting too many recipe cards over the years. You put the recipe cards into the recipe box; and, you pull out a recipe card from the recipe box for cooking specific food. “Recipe tender” can also be a name for the act of pulling out a recipe card. The word “tender” was a word from Elvis’s language in his rock music. So, this “tender” word goes back to the Golden Oldies Age of music, and, maybe even earlier than 1940s jazz. My educated guess must be seen here. Right now, I am trying to be an accurate historian for my own family; unfortunately, my grandparents were going through divorces and families were breaking apart from the past of scarcity to food and comfort. During vacations from around the world my grandparents would often only eat at McDonald’s or Burger King. “Strange” food of any kind was out of reach of their traditional desires. Even at hotels, my grandparents would often just cook their own meals in their own hotel rooms; they would bring cans of food for preparing and cooking in a hotel room, and, milk was made from powder form. My grandma believed that chocolate chip pancakes were the Devil. Of course, I do not believe my grandma. I eat food from everywhere and I love eating anything. My grandpa and grandma had very strange beliefs. They also believed that jeans were evil; Elvis was singing and rocking and rolling with very “hot” music, and, Elvis offended my grandma for years. I do not really know why. Elvis was very traditional himself. Rock music was always new because nobody in the past had radios and electronics for music. I find this “grandma” stuff to be very strange indeed. Anyways, you now see a picture of the RECIPE TENDER recipe box. I do not know who made the recipe box. I do not know when the recipe box was made. All I see is the name “RECIPE TENDER” and a price sticker for $2.25 (or, 2 dollars and 25 cents). My grandma’s recipe box is too old for research, too old for search, and too old for history. Maybe the “recipe tender” recipe box was an influence from Europe. Europe did have languages for “tender” items. Who knows? I would be lucky if people can see my photo with any amusement for the past. History does have every shade you can record from the past. “Past” and “history” are very different words in the English language.

Poem- “To Write a Poem”

“To Write a Poem” 

Let me tell you how to write a poem.

First, you must purchase a “poet shirt” from a hotel for a million dollars.

I want you to purchase it for a MILLION.

And, then, you must wear the poet shirt for 24 hours.

You must do this or all hope is lost.

Okay?

Then, you must sell the “poet shirt” on eBay for… 2 cents.

Yes, that’s right!

You have to sell the poet shirt for 2 cents, or, 2 pennies.

Free shipping, free handling, free delivery, at no extra cost.

Just 2 pennies.

Do you still know what a penny is?

I hope so.

Or, if you’re not American, use the official money for your residence.

Next, after you sell the “poet shirt” for 2 cents, you must write a poem.

Yes, that’s true.

You must write a poem about the poet shirt.

You must write a poem about the poet shirt you lost.

You must write a poem about the tragedy and horror of it all.

You must write a poem about 1 MILLION dollars and 2 cents.

You must write a poem about the money lost from unique emotions.

Unique emotions are a requirement for real poetry.

Only then, can you become a poet.

Why?

Because you write a poem.

And, because, you are a poet without a poet shirt.

You have become the butterfly from the crop.

The “crop” (poet shirt) is gone.

But, you now walk as spiritual to independent design.

You can write a poem without the poet’s uniform.

You are now, really, and, absolutely, a poet.

The poet shirt was just a label.

Today, you “know” the price of forgotten romance.

Poem- “Touch and Contact”

“Touch and Contact”

Knowledge is logical awareness from observation.

It’s not vocabulary for unlimited space of things.

You write notes.

Okay.

Are your notes facts or things?

When we have enough information, can we understand it?

Or, does her touch stop before his contact?

Understanding improves with study, not with age.

My philosophy doesn’t build up from the resting fix of stature.

I can sit on a chair.

But, knowledge goes beyond that in my mind.

A chair is just particular material.

I need to “know” how to build my chair, and, not just sit on a chair.

Liars can sit down.

Of course, philosophers examine correct views into learning.

Photo, “Religious Mexican Art (Monkey)”

I have Associate level of college education in Spanish. But, I do not have an Associate degree. An Associate degree requires 2 years of study in a subject for one college. For my 2 years of Spanish education, I went to 2 community colleges to reach Associate level, without a degree. However, the education is almost the same. I went from Ventura to Bakersfield, California, for community college. During my attendance in high school, for Elementary Art, I did “clay” art. The “clay” art was, first, made with my hands. And, then, the “clay” was made hard in a special oven. Afterwards, when the “clay” was given me from the oven, I was painting it a smooth, creamy white color. It’s art from Mexico, a country very close to California in America. At first, I did not know what the symbol was. From recent research, I’ve discovered that this “monkey” is related to the Aztec calendar. Call me a poet; call me a creative writer. From the white color, you probably think the art is less colorful. But, that’s an illusion of logic. When you look closely, you can see the “monkey” has arms that float like wings and legs that curve like vines. The dancing metaphor is unique for philosophy of spirit. Of course, the art is really abstract. Do you see the monkey? The “clay” becomes a reference for spiritual geometry of form to reason of human touch. We still need to discover more information about this mysterious symbol. But, the clay is very easy on my eyes while I look at it with poetic observation.

Photo- “Around”

 

My poem follows:

“Around”

I would call Earth this.

But, we should really call it these.

A marble must go into the bag.

Can you feel the flowers?

Heat goes upon your degree.

Every turn comes out of it!

People reach inside me for crossing.

My mother grows on a cloud now.

Angels will smell their gusts within.

Find yourself under this bright bridge.

When elephants open, our jungle comes in.

Photo, “My Pencils for Writing Poetry”

 

Photo, “My Pencils for Writing Poetry”

Now listen very carefully. When I say I am a “poet” with poetry, I mean it. You can see my personal collection of pencils here. If you look closely, you can see a pencil in the middle of the photo that says, “California State University”. So, I have education. I know what I write. I use pencils, pens, markers, erasers, grips, sharpeners, knives, colors, dictionaries, books, and general writing equipment for my poetry. Texting is not a performance; however, writing is a performance. My writing is not spontaneous. In fact, I NEVER “text” people. Even when I text people, even when I am texting, I always “write” with correct spelling and correct grammar. “Texting” is never writing. My school education helps me. Even when I just think of my high school degree, I need to remember my past of education. I have history of personal education. I do not need to be a scientist to hold a pencil. Creative writing is usually for fiction and fantasy. From my presentation of logic for common sense, you can see my bag of pencils. Pencils are very, very important. English instructors enjoy reading homework with blue or black pen ink for easy reading. But, for my personal life, I use “pencils” when I believe there will be mistakes with my writing. My description for this photo of my pencils is a principle of success for authorship. I sharpen my pencils. Pencils could always use better quality. And, NEVER ignore the “eraser” on a pencil! Remember something, okay? You are not always perfect with spelling. So, use the eraser! Readers do not need fake words. We can tell if the spelling is funny. Do not EVER let the computer spell for you. You need to know how to spell words by yourself. Poetry is not easy hobby or craft. Poetry gets very dramatic and very romantic. Let me ask you a question. Do you know how to use your cellphone? If you do not know how to use your cellphone, never write or “draw” ANYTHING on a cellphone! Focus on the education you have. Do not focus on ideas you just “want” to say. You must focus on education you really have. Pencils are useful for both math and language. You can “erase” a bad word with a pencil. A common rule in elementary schools is, “DO NOT BREAK YOUR PENCIL.” Follow that rule! You must be gentle with a pencil. Do not EVER perform mindless writing; “mindless writing” is a deadly sin. Always write with enough awareness of meaning. Do not even THINK of “writing” without any meaning. Meaning and sentence must connect for literary purpose. Or else, you would become a stupid judge, or a dumb critic, or a pretty opinionator. “Energy” and “intelligence” are not the same faculty of mind. Why am I saying this? I am teaching you how to write with this lesson. This is common philosophy! Even my neighbors can tell you this stuff. But, some people do not know. That’s why I give this description for a bag of pencils. I do not just “use” a pencil; I “study” about a pencil. My philosophy should be clear.

Poem- “Water and Judgement”

“Water and Judgement”

A political person will probably ask you,

“Do you take a glass half full, or, half empty?”

This question is political.

But, it’s a cliche.

Let me explain:

A glass of water.

Half full, or, half empty?

Do you see it half full, or, do you see it half empty?

I must stop you before you take the water.

Do you even know what the “water” is?

This is very important!

Let me ask a question:

Do you know what the “water” is?

What is the water?

What is the water made of?

Where does the water come from?

How does the water look?

Is this “water” healthy?

Who is giving you the water?

Do you know what the water quality is?

Unless you know what the “water” is, you should not drink it.

It doesn’t matter if it’s half full, or, half empty.

You need to know what the “water” is first.

What if the water is not healthy for drinking?

What if the “water” is not healthy for philosophy?

What if the “water” is not healthy for science?

The water must be healthy.

A glass of water.

Half full, or, half empty.

Do I take it?

Well, if the water is not healthy, no thank you.

You are going to ask me,

“Are you positive, or, are you negative?”

That question doesn’t matter yet.

I need more information about the “water” for safety concerns.

Water should be healthy.

Half full, or, half empty?

Doesn’t matter.

The water needs to be healthy first.

Or else, my attitude would always be confusion, positive or negative.

“Half full, or, half empty?”

The question is pointless unless I know what the water is.

To have good judgement, I must drink good water.

Size and portion are of little concern.

Water quality is more important.

Think about it!

Should you drink a full glass of dirty water?

Or, should you just take a sip of clean, fresh water from Hawaii?

Having more water only helps if the water is even good.

If a full glass of water is not healthy, your “optimistic” view is lowest.

You should have optimistic attitude for quality, not quantity.

The “half full or half empty” cliche is really a bad question.
