Eastside Road, February 21, 2012—

I must say, the combination of beef, avocado, bean, chili pepper, tomato, cilantro, and raw onion is truly delicious: Elective Affinities perfectly energized by the lime juice. I'd eat this once a week — but doubt I'll see it again for at least a month.

As a first course, those fine leeks and carrots, sautéed with a bit of butter; afterward, green salad, then tangerine ice.
