Back to leftovers

Eastside Road, January 27, 2011—

MOZART'S BIRTHDAY WAS NO occasion for a feast today, not after last night's celebration. (Old friend visiting from New York.) Instead, it was back to leftovers, and why not? The rest of last night's delicious roast potatoes, with some green beans and shallots; then some penne in nonbolognese (those porcini are really quite remarkable animals); then the end of the hash from the other day. Only the green salad was made from scratch today. I'm not complaining.

Peñasol (60% Tempranillo, 40% Garnacha), Viñedos de España, NV — 12.5% alcohol, a little soda-poppy (maybe Constanza would've liked it)
