Lunch out, dinner at home

Ashland, Oregon, July 24, 2011—

LUNCH WAS SIMPLE enough: back for cabbage salad, a duck confit taco, and a Margarita.

DINNER? EVEN SIMPLER. we bought a couple of fine substantial grass-fed London broil steaks, a couple of ciabattas, a bowlful of mixed green salad, and a small bag of Lazzari charcoal, and hit the Weber grill. I salt the meat when I get it home: the only other flavoring was good olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Garlic on the bread. Red wine, bien sûr.
