Two Days Running

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, November 5, 2009—
THERE ARE PEOPLE, I'm told, who dislike eating the same dinner two days running. There are those who refuse to wear the same outfit two days running, too. (I write of outer clothes. But still.)
This may be part of what's wrong with our world, this excessive fastidiousness, or tendency to restlessness. (Perhaps those are synonymous.) After a first course of tomatoes

we moved on to a repeat of yesterday's pasta al pesto. Even better tonight, of course; complex deep flavors nearly always improve after a day or two.

Green salad, of course — with our vinegar, as usual; yesterday we strayed; I used lemon juice instead.
