heirloom tomatoes from Bodhitree Farm in the Greenmarket, with oil and torn basil; accompanied by thin, toasted slices of ciabatta
drink: Pernod and water
two pan-grilled loin lamb chops from Citarella [a total of only 10 ounces or so, only $8.84 for both - and, without exaggeration, I'd call them the best chops ever!], finished with oil, thyme from the Greenmarket, and drops of lemon; accompanied by Japanese eggplants, also from Bodhitree , which were halved, scored, coated with chopped garlic and mint (both from the Greenmarket) and then grilled on another ribbed cast-iron pan
cheeses: “Dorset” a soft washed-rind cow’s milk, and "Manchester", an aged goat's milk, both from Vermont’s Consider Bardwell Farm, which has a stand in the Greenmarket; also accompanied by toasted thinly-sliced ciabatta
