\"\"<\/a>Dear Masters and Mistresses of <\/em>The Paris Review,<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I would like to take you up on your offer for free advice. Could you, as arbiters of high taste and culture, please settle a disagreement that occurred between me and my husband this morning?<\/p>\n

He just purchased a very nice Western-style shirt by Ralph Lauren that is clearly salmon-hued (or coral). We agree on this much. The point of disagreement comes when I lazily refer to salmon as pink. He contends that salmon is much more closely related to orange. I contend that salmon\/orange\/pink all derive from the primary color red and so can also be thought of as pink.<\/p>\n

Might you have any unbiased, quasi-official information in your arsenal to settle this marital spat? Our cocktail hour this evening depends on it.<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Most sincerely,
Suzanne (Austin, Texas)<\/em><\/p>\n

For starters, why does your husband object to pink in the first place? As he doubtless knows, the association of pink with femininity is a relatively modern phenomenon, and in any case, it\u2019s the one color that can truly be said to flatter all complexions.<\/p>\n

Those watching the pre-Oscars red carpet this past Sunday will recall that Michelle Williams\u2019s Louis Vuitton gown spawned exactly such a discourse. (Tim Gunn, to my mind, settled the debate when he came down on the side of \u201ccoral.\u201d) It\u2019s a largely arbitrary determination, at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Since salmon<\/em> is so often twinned with the word pink<\/em>, I feel safe in asserting that it is, indeed, on that color spectrum. (Although the actual flesh of the fish varies greatly in hue.) However, when you claim that orange is a shade of pink, well, you\u2019ve lost me: it\u2019s a different color. So I think you both score points here.<\/p>\n

(All that said, in my experience, whenever a man gets defensive about a garment\u2019s color and trots out \u201cNantucket red\u201d or \u201csalmon,\u201d we\u2019re dealing with pink.)<\/p>\n

I am heading off to the last frontier (Alaska) from the crowded metropolis of New York. What books would you recommend to enhance my journey?<\/em><\/p>\n

When I was young, my grandfather gave me a copy of Margaret Murie\u2019s Two in the Far North<\/a><\/em>, an account of growing up in the Alaskan wilderness. I loved it. It\u2019s an evocative portrait of a very different time in the state, and interesting in that the author and her husband went on to found the Wilderness Society. The Yiddish Policeman\u2019s Union<\/a><\/em> may bear little resemblance to anything you encounter in the actual last frontier, but it\u2019s a good read. And a friend in Juneau recommends James Michener\u2019s Alaska<\/a><\/em>, Into the Wild<\/a><\/em>, and, if you\u2019re a mystery fan, any of Dana Stabenow’s books. (Jack London goes without saying!) <\/p>\n

I’m having a poet I admire over for dinner (+1) and have no idea what I should cook! Also, cook<\/em> is a limited term in my case. Any suggestions (or even just a cookbook rec) appreciated!<\/em><\/p>\n

When I googled \u201cwhat do poets eat,\u201d out of curiosity, I immediately came across this<\/a>. So, you know, take that for what it\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n

This question prompted another fond memory from my childhood, this one of a peculiar and beloved cookbook, which, after some long online searching, I located. It\u2019s called Written with a Spoon: A Poet\u2019s Cookbook<\/a><\/em> and is full of food-related verse, like this:<\/p>\n

\n

The syrup should drip in an amber pool
Over the white flan, reflecting the light.
Uncomplicated, delicate
Cooked so it slides gently on the plate.
A taste like sun-dried roads,
Red geraniums in shaded patios,
And dreaming in the afternoon….<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In my personal experience, poets eat lots of different things. I know several who are vegetarian, one who is macrobiotic, another who makes her own sausage. What I\u2019d do is what I\u2019d do for any guest, which is to say, shoot said poet a note and ask whether poet and +1 have any requests\/restrictions\/lifestyle choices\/unreasonable prejudices of which you should be aware.<\/p>\n

Barring any particularly alarming responses, a few good, basic cookbooks are Mark Bittman\u2019s How to Cook Everything<\/a><\/em>, Alice Waters\u2019s The Art of Simple Food<\/a><\/em>, and one that was recently mentioned to me as very helpful to the beginner, Alton Brown\u2019s I’m Just Here for the Food<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s talk specifics. If I had to give you one recipe, it would be this one<\/a> from Marion Cunningham\u2019s The Supper Book<\/a><\/em>, which I made for my first-ever dinner party and still cook regularly. My one note would be to cut the potatoes much smaller than the recipe indicates, so they cook through properly. Serve with salad and bread; have guests bring wine or dessert; otherwise serve ice cream or poach some pears the day before. If your guests are vegetarian, couscous is a good route. If you want a recipe, this<\/a> is a good starting point. Good luck!<\/p>\n
