Last night's dinner: pasta with cauliflower, almonds, summer squash, sardines, tomatoes, garlic, currants, fresh basil and italian parsley, red pepper, freshly ground black pepper. Also, oddly, some enoki mushrooms I bought for the party but didn't open.

Yesterday for lunch at Big Rock: A phyllo triangle stuffed with walnuts, caramelized onions, brie, and pears. Side of braised red Swiss chard. A grilled polenta square.
