…marking time…

Eastside Road, March 24, 2010—
YES, WE'RE IN THAT MODE that sets in before travels. We're looking forward to a couple of weeks eating on the road, so for the moment we eat with circumspection and care, continuing to empty out Fortunatus's icebox, being reasonable. Well, not entirely; a celebration seemed in order today, so we had a Wednesday Martini. (But then, I do not think we'll have the opportunity to have a Martini on Friday. We'll see.)

So tonight it was the rest of the spaghetti in tomato sauce Lindsey made yesterday. I asked her what brand of spaghetti it was, because it did really seem like excellent pasta to me, but she hadn't taken note of it. Careless: but I can't fault her. Then the green salad; and later on the last of the Savarin — Lindsey made several for Paolo's birthday, nearly a month ago; she'd had one extra, and froze it; she thawed it out and soaked it in Kirsch for the Stein dinner Sunday, and we're still at it. Kirsch is a wonderful preservative, but it doesn't preserve itself: looks like I need to lay in another bottle…
Cheap Pinot grigio
