I had managed to cut off the end of my most important digit\u00a0while using a mandoline to put\u00a0this meal<\/a>\u00a0together 11 days ago. Knowing something had gone wrong, I immediately pressed index finger and thumb together very firmly and finished preparing the potatoes before I stopped to check the damages. They were considerable, but\u00a0the meal was terrific, even if I have to assume that I was literally a part of it.<\/p>\n I’ve had to keep the wound dry and I was told it could not be covered with a latex glove until it had totally closed and was pretty secure, so making dinner, even washing the dishes of a made<\/em> dinner, has been\u00a0out of the question until, well, yesterday.<\/p>\n On Friday I was told that I would probably be told Monday that I was now free to do stuff in the kitchen, and that’s what happened, but that day was my birthday, and we dined\u00a0out with friends Michelle<\/a> and Felix<\/a>, at Faro<\/a>, in Bushwick. No kitchen for me that day.<\/p>\n But I had actually jumped the gun, a little, the night before.<\/p>\n I had not prepared a real meal\u00a0in 11 days, but\u00a0on Sunday I was determined to do something very easy that might\u00a0also include a lot of perishable vegetables I had around that\u00a0were about to go beyond their natural expiration date.<\/p>\n The baked egg dish I whipped up with one hand tied behind my back (never touched anything with my injured finger) turned out super, and it did virtually empty the shelves.<\/p>\n I’m not sure I’m remembering everything that went into the mix, which I baked in the oven at 375\u00ba for about half an hour, but it certainly\u00a0included olive oil; 4\u00a0or 5\u00a0small scallions from\u00a0Norwich Meadows Farm; a few ounces of Colameco\u2019s uncured diced pancetta from Whole Foods; torn arugula from Lani’s Farm; a few tablespoons of organic heavy cream; one tiny hot yellow pepper\u00a0from Eckerton Hill Farm; 8 eggs from Millport Dairy Farm; 15 cherry tomatoes from Alex’s Tomato Farm, Carlisle, NY, at Chelsea’s [Down to Earth] Farmers Market; salt; pepper; black oil-cured olives from Whole Foods; finished with some Hong Vit micro radish and a very small amount of pea shoots\/sprouts, both from Windfall Farms, scattered on top once the eggs had been plated; a small jar of an aromatic seasoning blend called L\u2019eKama<\/a>\u00a0placed on the table with the eggs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had managed to cut off the end of my most important digit\u00a0while using a mandoline to put\u00a0this meal\u00a0together 11 days ago.
