Off the grill

Eastside Road, May 27, 2012—
A BEAUTIFUL DAY; a friend visiting; why not throw some wood and charcoal on the grill and open a bottle of rosé?

I cut four or five artichokes from the bushes, halved them, rubbed the cut surfaces with a cut lemon, and soaked them in brine for an hour or so; then coated them thinly with olive oil and put them on the grill first. Then followed some long thin green mild Italian peppers, whole. Then the sausages, as you see — from Franco Dunn, of course — and a few leaves of puntarelle from the garden, along with split baguette sections.
