Shakespeare, Enough - Reesom Haile - Eritrea
Translator: Charles Cantalupo (Tigrinya)
Shakespeare said,
Aren’t my poems great?
How about that love story
Of Romeo and Juliet?
But I replied,
Shakespeare, enough.
Who wants old stuff
Like that?
Why not
A new kind of love?
A love of Eritreans
For green Eritrea,
Not yet found in words,
Unheard –
A fearless story
The angels sing.
Writing my poems,
Living as long
As Methusaleh,
I couldn’t end this song
Before God called me home.

A shorter day of 11 miles and 4.5 hours so that gave us the opportunity for a more leisurely start and even more leisurely afternoon (more later). The day began with a huge weekly market in Barcelos where we purchased fruit for our walk. We passed many crosses and these tend to provide evidence of the original Camino (in the picture Barbara is communing with a huge eucalyptus). We arrived in Balugaes around 1:00 to discover an incredible property, Quinta da Cancela (originally a winery but now a wonderful villa) at which we are staying. We are surrounded by patios and fruit trees and grape vines. The tiny cantaloupe along with tónica y limón and chips made a delicious lunch.
Un día más corto de 11 millas y 4.5 horas, así que nos dio la oportunidad por un empiezo sin prisas y una tarde aún más tranquila. El día comenzó con un mercado enorme en Barcelos donde compramos frutas para el camino. Pasamos muchos cruces y estos da evidencia del Camino original (en la foto Bárbara está en contacto con un árbol eucalipto). Llegamos en Balugaes a la 1:00 más o menos y descubrimos una propiedad increíble, Quinta da Cancela, (era una bodega originalmente pero ahora es una villa maravillosa) donde estamos quedándonos. Estamos rodeados de patios y árboles de fruta y vides. El cantalupo pequeño y tónica y limón y chips hicieron un almuerzo rico.

The influx of fragrantly ripe, sugary melons into our farmstalls by late August is always a cause for seasonal delight. Just as tinges of autumnal ochre and vermillion start to creep across leaves and into the undergrowth, crates of these satisfyingly sturdy, juice-filled fruits are making a big splash in the markets. This year’s melons are particularly sweet and crisp due to the plentiful heat and sunshine we’ve had so far this summer. So, jump on the melon cart while you can to fully embrace the joys of the season.
Watermelon
Melons are much celebrated for their high-water content which is a common characteristic across all varieties. But among them all, watermelon is the all-time thirst-quenching champion thanks to its unmatched 92% water content and naturally high levels of electrolytes including potassium and magnesium.
Thought to have originated in Africa’s Kalahari Basin over 5,000 years ago, the first recorded harvest of watermelon is depicted in hieroglyphics on the walls of ancient Egyptian structures. European colonists and enslaved people from Africa are believed to have introduced watermelon to the New World in the late 1400s. In 1576, Spanish settlers began growing watermelons in Florida, and Native Americans quickly adopted them into their fields after which they became a widespread staple crop.
You’ll find both seedless and seeded varieties of watermelon in our farmers markets. Seedless watermelons are non-GMO – they are produced by crossbreeding or ‘hybridizing’ plants to specifically select for the seedless trait.
Head to the farmers market this weekend for all the ingredients you need to whip up this supremely summery Watermelon, Feta & Cucumber Salad with Honey Lime Dressing:
1 small Caradonna Farms or Great Joy Family Farm farmers market watermelon, chilled
1 Norwich Meadows Farm English cucumber
1 packed cup Caradonna Farms mint and basil leaves
½ cup SOVA Farms feta cheese
2 tablespoons Goode and Local By Don Rodrigo honey
2 tablespoons Arlotta Food Studio extra virgin olive oil
Lime juice
Kosher salt
Cantaloupe
Also known as muskmelons, cantaloupes became popular across Europe in the 15th century thanks to their sweetly scented orange flesh bearing tropical floral notes. The name "cantaloupe" comes from the Italian town of Cantalupo di Sabina located in the Sabine Hills 30 miles north of Rome where the papacy had a country estate. It's said that the luscious melon was grown in the papal gardens there for the sitting pope at the time who held an obsessive penchant for the fruit.
You can savor what is often called “summer’s sweetest melon” in this New York Times recipe for cold cantaloupe soup that takes a mere 10 minutes to prepare!
1 farmers market cantaloupe chilled, peeled and seeded
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons Arlotta Food Studio balsamic vinegar
Canary Melon
Canary melons are easy to spot in farmers market stalls by late August – just look for the American football-shaped fruit with a vivid yellow rind and light green flesh on the inside. This melon's name is derived from the Canary Islands where the fruit was widely cultivated thanks to the region’s ideal growing conditions.
Canary melons are closely related to honeydews, but have a tangier profile like that of cantaloupe. They are a type of winter melon with a hard rind that gives them a long post-vine shelf-life, meaning they can be stored for extended periods. Their crisper, firmer flesh works deliciously in cooling, refreshing smoothies, granitas and sorbets.
Indulge in the summer weekend vibes by picking up a bottle of locally crafted liquor from our spirits vendors and adding a splash or two to this recipe to make your very own canary melon boozy granita.
We wish you happy melon hunting in the markets this weekend. Don’t forget to bring your sturdy totes, baskets and carts along for the ride to help lug your melon-heavy haul back home. We look forward to seeing you there!
