Eastside Road, Healdsburg, April 2, 2009
PESTO-FILLED TORTELLONI from Trader Joe tonight, dressed with grated Parmesan we bought last November in Milan — not a Reggiano, an ordinary Parmigiano, young, creamy, and saporoso. And after, in place of the usual green salad, chard, just picked from the garden, chopped and sliced in the usual way and cooked in a bit of the water the pasta had cooked in, so tasting of pasta and olive oil and the good salt I'd sprinkled onto it, as well as the earth of the vegetable garden.
And afterward, cake: because we're going to a friend's house for dinner tomorrow; they asked Lindsey to bring a dessert; and if you're making a cake, why not make two?
