Gratuitous Food Post

Dinner:

Sliced tomato (from the CSA box) sprinkled, as usual, with truffle salt
Acme Bread Co. rosemary roll, with goat cheese (I think from Achadinha, but I forget)
Ratatouille made entirely from CSA box produce
Fresh sardines (from the farmers market), broiled in a little cider and garlic, on a bed of chard braised with bacon and onions
The last of the home-grown plums, still warm from the sun, drizzled with a little cream

Life is good. (And the lawn is mowed.)

Drool.
(Even though last night I ate: paella, escargot madrileño, grilled calamari, grilled sardines, artisan cheeses, flan, bananas flambé, and chocolate mousse. The five of us all shared, using up at least twenty-five plates....)

Sounds wonderful! I'm still waiting for the CSA tomatoes, though the ones from the Shenandoah Valley, just over the Blue Ridge, are starting to show up at the farmers markets.

I have yet to find a fishmonger that sells sardines. Or whitebait, or anchovies, or any of the little guys. Even frozen. Grr.
