Title : The First Sip of Beer and Other Tiny Pleasures - Philippe Delerm - book
Summary :
It's easy to shell peas. Press your thumb against the slit of the pod and it opens, docile, offered. Some, less ripe, are more reluctant - an incision with your index fingernail then allows you to tear the green, and feel the wetness and the dense flesh, just beneath the faux-parchment skin. Then you slide the balls off with a single finger. The last one is so tiny. Sometimes you want to bite into it. It's not good, a little bitter, but fresh as the kitchen at 11 o'clock, cooking cold water, peeled vegetables - nearby, against the sink, a few bare carrots shine on a cloth, finishing drying. So we talk in small bursts, and here too the music of the words seems to come from within, peaceful, familiar. We talk about work, projects, fatigue - not psychology.
