Eating casually

Eastside Road, October 9, 2011—

WE SORT OF FORGOT about getting around to dinner today. After a morning of work in the garden, we had a heartier lunch than usual, thanks to Franco's rillettes. L. refused to buy any of his sausages at the Healdsburg Farmers' Market yesterday, so I got a little tub of pork rillettes instead and they are delicious. With some nice fresh tomatoes, and a last slice of that Mace cake, and pears, they seemed to make a dinner.

Then I remembered we could catch a play in town at five o'clock. That knocked out my plans for dinner, which would have involved lamb chops and the grill — that'll have to wait until tomorrow. After the play, the evening handful of nuts, and carrots and celery cru, and nagelkaas on crackers with tomatoes on the side, and chocolate, and more pears from our generous trees, and even a fig, and we are stuffed.
