Eastside Road, April 13, 2015—
HOW NICE it always is to get home after a few days eating on the road. It's probably no surprise that I gained four pounds in the last five days. I thought of fasting today, since we won't be able to tomorrow on the regular Tuesday, but I guess we'll postpone that to Wednesday.Nevertheless, it was a lean day, out of preference. The usual breakfast: a couple of slices of toast with jam; a couple of bowls of caffelatte. May I brag a little? It was my favorite coffee of the last few days — we had very good coffee in Los Angeles, but I really like this New Classic blend from Sweet Maria's, and I roast it just the way I like it.
Lunch: bread and cheese. Did I mention that we bought a couple of loaves of bread yesterday at Gayle's Bakery in Capitola? Joe's Bread is a big round levain, baked dark as I prefer it; and then we got a whole-grain whole-wheat loaf too, delicious toasted. Such good bread!
Dinner: A couple of bowls of that Portuguese bean and kale soup Cook made last week, the better, even, for having seasoned a bit.

Whats the difference between a soup and a stew.
These photos suggest stew to my eye.
Hmmm. I'll have to give this some reflection, and now's not the time. There are so many soups, from clear broths to thick pottages… stews always suggest meat to me; but then there's the "stewed tomatoes"… a complicates subject, as always when food and language intersect…
