Cuentos del Jamón, parte 1



"When we were coming back from faro, everybody but Eva were asleep. She was driving silently and i kept looking at the back of her neck and 1/4 of her face without her noticing, she thought i was asleep too and started singing. She sang beautifully (she sings sevillanas and fandangos) and with the sky so black behind the hills i felt in a movie. Travelling by car at night must be my most favourite hobbie ever, i love it even more than sleeping. I was like "wow, i'm in Portugal" and i started thinking about you and the things i would say and we would do when you came here. Ha it's so stupid, but since that day everywhere i go i think of you coming too, of me showing you around and translating everything, feeding you with a fork like a baby so you can get a taste of everything that's good here, telling you to smell the ocean, showing you the view from my bro's balcony and the paintings i've made of it. And other corny stuff that people do in movies when they're falling in love, and filmmakers just edit them altogether with some cheesy music by whitney houston or other and for some reason it all looks golden. Like the sunsets in Ayamonte."



Hace frio y hay mucha humedad, asi como me gusta a mi. Con todos los vidrios empañados y todo un sacrificio cada vez que se va a mear (ni hablar de salir de la cama), toda comida y bebida viene bien, pero mas que nada el jamon. Ese jamoncete lendo lendo que se come a toda hora y con cualquier cosa arriba o abajo, un jamon con cuerpo y personalidad, no ese papel de calcar con sal que se come en argentina. Un jamon que es como una caricia amorosa a nuestra lengua, un torbellino de lujuria para el paladar. Todo por esa sabrosa bellota que nuestro amigo porcino alguna vez comió y defecó, cuyos nutrientes y propiedades se quedaron en sus venas macerandose y preparando a ese noble animal para su aun mas noble destino: mi panza.
Que guay. Guay not?
Para que contar lo bien que la estoy pasando, las horas indecentes a las que me acuesto cada noche, los paisajes de la hostia que estan ahi esperandome afuera todos los dias, las calles mas chiquitas que no se que por las que por poco hay que pasar de costado, con las casitas blancas como uno de los cuadros que tiene Marina en el living? De que sirve hablar de los atardeceres sobre el rio que miro desde un sillón en el salón de el departamento, de los polvorones y las sevillanas?
Que va hijo, hablemos de jamón.



ah, y feliz año!
