broccoli rabe; bread and salame; green salad; Comté
Portland—
NOTHING TERRIBLY SPECIAL about it, after all: a simple supper thrown together pretty quickly because there are so many other things to be done. Two baseball games (Cubs lost; Sox won); an hour at the gym, a little shopping. A visit to a new café, new to us I mean, Umbria, clean and bright in the modern Italian manner, not the nostalgic Portland manner. And a lot of conversation.
The bread is from Ken's, one of our two favorite bakeries up here. The salame is Fra Mani. The broccoli was steamed with a little garlic. The Comté, ah, that was delicious, nutty and as if resinous...
