Eastside Road, September 25, 2010—
MARKET DAY, EXACTLY like nearly two weeks ago: salmon and lima beans. The salmon certainly doesn't qualify as local; it's flown in from Alaska; Hermes knows at what cost of money, energy, and fuel. But it's certainly good, and good for us: so we make the sacrifice of ethics.
The limas, of course, are from Nancy Skall's Middleton Gardens: Willow-leaf limas, barely cooked. For an appetizer we had some Padron peppers I'd fried in olive oil with salt, along with our usual little dishes of mixed nuts; after the fish and beans, green salad.
