Old Leather, Chrome.
A loaf of fresh bread, stick of butter, bottle of wine. Recipe for a beautiful Sunday.
Happiness is a plate of oysters and a whole slow-cooked pork shoulder, tucked into bibb lettuce leaves with white rice, kimchi, and ginger scallion sauce. And good friends, who are crazy enough to sacrifice their health and vegetarian ways, to eat it all with relish at 1am.
I made a simple salad of watercress and avocado—with a dressing of sweet white miso, olive oil, champagne vinegar, salt and pepper—and served it with rosemary roasted yukon gold potatoes. A righteous lunch (er, breakfast) to ring in 2012.
Sustenance for rousing conversation. Poached egg, cheddar and potato cake, brussel sprouts with bacon.
Dessert this evening of crepes, chestnut honey ice cream, caramelized walnuts, and more chestnut honey. Washed down with a cocktail of sweet bourbon, amaretto, and cream.
