High points of our annual visits are usually cooking together, along with the elaborately crafted grocery lists and trips to Whole Foods that entails, but this time we were only in the kitchen a few times. Of course, that includes the cauliflower gratin that got a tad seared. Well, blackened, actually, by my cranking up the broiler to brown the bread crumbs and then wandering off. It happens. We scraped off the burnt part and everyone was very sweet about it.
We also missed
I had planned to wear it to dinner at Chez Panisse, but obviously that didn't pan out. Still, dinner there, with our friends Dan and John, or Dan and Jean as they're sometimes known, was swell. I love CP, it's seriously fabulous food without being fussy.
Mostly, we just hung out together, which is what I love about her. Such good company
Well, I was missing you until I got to the blatent lie in the last paragraph. Still, saying the visit was more fun than a barrel of greased porn stars did a lot to pump up my ego. Next year I'm staying a month.
