Ashland, Sept. 20—
DINNER AT "HOME" tonight: you can't go on eating every night in restaurants, even when you're on the road. We stay here with three other couples for a week every year to see plays, and Mondays the theater's dark. Tonight, then, dinner at home.
We walked a short mile or so to the supermarket to buy provisions: pasta, tomatoes, sausages, garlic, olive oil, salad, an onion. Once home, it was a simple matter to seed and chop the tomatoes, fry up the broken-up sausages, cook the pasta, make a salad. Dessert: Straus ice cream (vanilla; Dutch chocolate) with salt caramel sauce from Alma in Portland, a few chopped pecans strewn on top. Dinner was cheaper and in many ways better than many restaurant meals we've been eating…
