Sausage-cabbage hash

Portland, Oregon, November 21, 2011—

LEFTOVERS AT HOME TONIGHT, delicious ones: a couple of those sausages from yesterday, sliced up, and combined with leftover roast potatoes, carrot, and Jerusalem artichoke, with a blanched chopped cabbage folded in, the whole then baked in the oven.

And, later, ice cream from Alma, one of Portland's finest shops, a chocolatier making better Bicerins than, even, Bicerin, in Torino. And a little glass of Clear Creek eau-de-vie de poire, to make today uniquely Portland.
