Martini

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, January 16, 2009

YES, THINGS GRADUALLY get back to normal: I had a delicious Martini with a small dish of walnuts while watching the news. Did that make dinner particularly flavorful? Perhaps. First there was one of those tuna sandwiches we had yesterday, and then beans…

But what beans! Lindsey had set aside some shelling beans at the end of the 2007 market season, some of Nancy Skall's beans, and they rested in a glass jar in the pantry for over a year. Water, good salt, good olive oil: as complex and knowing a flavor as you could imagine. Green salad, natch.
