Grilled salmon

Eastside Road, August 15, 2010—

SALMON, IT BEING Sunday; and tonight, after our Martini — displaced from Friday night, when we were on the road and Martini was inaccessible — I set fire to some grapevine cuttings and four or five little chunks of charcoal and grilled the fish, salted and peppered, very quickly, while Lindsey cooked some Musica broad-beans and finished the Padron peppers I'd started in olive oil and salt in a black iron skillet. Green salad after; and then raspberries. Life is good.
