Eastside Road, February 12, 2012—
BACK TO THE FREEZER this Lincoln's Birthday — I like to think he would have approved, somehow — to find there another package of chops from one of Meadow's lambs. It isn't quite spring, somehow, though we have a gentle sort of misty rain today, and I notice the favas are beginning to bloom, so lamb chops seem appropriate. With them a riot of color: bright green Romanesco; assertive orange carrots sautéed with leeks; and nice grainy mashed potatoes. A green salad to follow, eaten by lamplight, as our power company chose to take a few minutes for its own mysterious purposes…
And then, light restored, a bowl of delicious Damson plums, picked from our tree a couple of years ago by our daughter, who then canned them for tonight's dessert…
