So perfect, and so delicious, and it’s also so very easy to arrange both. four lamb loin chops (1.21 lbs) from Shannon Brook Farm, dried thoroughly, cooked on a very hot enameled cast iron grill pan for about 5 or 6 minutes on each side, seasoned with salt and pepper after they were first turned …

pasta, celery, olive, habanada, lovage, pinoli, micro scallion
We weren’t interested in a big deal meal, so I thought I’d put together a pasta. Barry said he would like one with which we could enjoy a red wine, so I gathered some ingredients that would please that choice. It was far more interesting, and delicious, than we had expected, and a second helping …
prosciutto, arugula; pasta, alliums, habanada, micro kale
There was a somewhat meaty first course and a vegan main, although since the flavors were so rich, Barry had to ask me whether meat had any part in the latter. It did not, so I think the suggestion of it came from the savoriness of the habanada pepper, the smokiness of the toasted pine …
bauernwurst; tomato; garlic and habanada-roasted squash
The meal included elements of at least three different food traditions, but it wasn’t dominated by any one of them, so naturally we decided to serve a South African wine. four links of Schaller & Weber‘s wonderful Bauernwurst, a coarse, smokey, very traditional German country style sausage, placed next to each other inside a medium Pyrex …
mustard/habanada-fried blowfish; long beans, tomato, mint
We both chose the blowfish on our own, without any visual stimulus, and unanimously (Barry by responding to the photo I had sent him of the fish board that day, via Slack), but the vegetable seemed to have invited itself, once I had spotted two bunches of long beans that remained on the farmer’s table …
dolphin, scape, habanada, pericón; potatoes, epazote; kale
The single dolphin fillet was a little smaller than that I’d usually prefer to get for the two of us, but while I was at the fisher’s stand I couldn’t figure out how to bring home more without messing up the aesthetic of the plate. Fortunately I had some wonderful vegetables to help fill in. …
pasta, pink celery, spring garlic, habanada, coquillo, pinoli
Pretty in pink. How did Americans get saddled with the celery equivalent of supermarket tomatoes or apples? It seems it’s for pretty much the same reasons, as I learned this week: In the 1930s growers shifted to varieties derived from Giant Pascal, such as Tall Utah, that were more resistant, productive and kept well. This …
oregano/chili/habanada/lemon-roasted squid; redbor kale
The squid was delicious, as it always is with this very familiar recipe (and with virtually any other), as was the kale, a particularly tasty redbor (brassica oleraceae ‘redbor’), whose appearance could more accurately be described as ‘frilly purple and green kale’. The big deal for us however was the farm where the vegetable was …
lemony, habanada-breaded, baked perch; potatoes; kale
A fish bake. Although there were some obvious differences and some less than obvious even to me, after I spotted the little fillets in the fisherman’s family’s stand, I almost immediately thought of this meal as a modest salute to the Great Lakes of what are generally describe as one’s ‘formative’ years. I brought home …
culotte steak, chives; habanada-roasted potatoes; lacinato
The best steak. The plate suggested the New York steak house classic: Steak and potatoes, with something green on the side. There were even chives, but they weren’t to be found on the baked potato, and the vegetable proved that everything green is not spinach. Actually, I think everything was very different. We don’t eat …
