In pursuit of the perfect food selfie, Jamie arranged his dinner plate,
investing more effort in its presentation than he did in preparing the dish of
spaghetti. He was damn proud of the homemade pasta, crafted from scratch
that he tossed with tomatoes and basil from his garden.
“Hmm.”
It still wasn’t quite right.
Pulling the plate across the butcher block kitchen island, he took
advantage of a shaft of streaming sunlight and repositioned the shot.
Executing a chef’s kiss, he declared the setting “Perfecto,” took a half
dozen shots, and snickered, “Take that, Robbie, you bougie fuck.”
His younger brother wasn’t an actual bougie fuck, but this didn’t stop
him from condescendingly using the phrase because that’s what siblings
living far apart did. They threw long-distance, rude snark bombs at each
other.
Opening the family chat, he dropped the best of the spaghetti selfies into
a message and added the supporting details.
The Hunter family had a dismal track record with shit like Facebooking
and chatty messages about life. It was understandable. The public-facing
drama he endured with Darlene and the shitstorm his ex-wife’s betrayal
unleashed had impacted everyone. His folks weathered the worst of it by
keeping their heads down. Not so much, though, his brother and sister.
When the dust settled, he, Robbie, and Nora scattered far and wide.
These days, they kept in touch through group chat, essentially a photo
montage of what everyone ate. Was it lame? Maybe, but at least they didn’t
waste energy blowing false sunshine nonsense up each other’s shorts. Life
wasn’t a cakewalk. Shit happened. Sometimes it wasn’t pretty. Leaving a
social media breadcrumb trail of staged fakery was not their style.
On a whim, he looked up the nutrition facts for his homemade meal,
knowing Mom would get a laugh out of his diligence, and added them to a
second message.
Tossing the phone aside, he went back to eating dinner. First things first
– more cheese was imperative. Reaching for the grater, he scraped the
wedge of parmesan back and forth until there was an impressive mountain
of shreds atop the pasta.
Reaching into the oven, he managed not to burn his fingers on the
baking sheet when grabbing a thick slice of garlic toast.
Lastly, he poured a half glass of a cheap and cheerful Zinfandel. The
enjoyable red wine paired well with spaghetti.
Holding a napkin in the palm of his hand, he balanced his dish on top
with the garlic toast and utensils, picked up the wine glass, and marched
past the dining table into the living room, where he placed everything on
the coffee table.
He usually ate outside unless it was hot, like today. Lowering his big
frame onto the carpet, he sat cross-legged with his back against the sofa and
turned the TV on.
Unless it was Dr. Who or his favorite guilty pleasure, The Golden Girls,
his viewing habits avoided the news and gravitated more to YouTube
oddities such as live streams from the International Space Station or tourist
walkabouts in Rome.
