Bands with Pans: Prince Rama
Nimai, on Etsy: “That place is a K-hole.”
Nimai details the menu: savory pumpkin tart by her, kale salad by Taraka.
Taraka: “Kale! Good idea!”
Nimai, inspecting a cucumber and squeezing it: “I dunno… I feel like this is a little, sexual? Hah!”
Taraka: “My aunt—she’s this crazy hippie lady—when she’s vegetable shopping, she’ll go up to the vegetables and she measures them to see what gives her the most energy. …I’m kind of aware of the process. Here, hold this this avocado here—”
I arrange the fruit at heart center.
Taraka: “…and now, put your arm out. Try to resist me.”
I extend my right arm into the aisle as she slowly pushes her weight on it.
Taraka: “See? Pretty good energy. But let’s try this one. See? That one gives you better energy. It makes you stronger. …My mom does it with supplements too.”
