the power of lunch
Like that perfect karaoke song that includes an air guitar riff, simple lyrics that can be spoken/shouted instead of sung, and an ending the audience will clap for (“The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News), a really excellent lunch anchors a day, creates a caesura by fastening food to a pause.
This afternoon I made pasta with stone crab from a Joe’s Stone Crab outing with the FOWA Miami crew (great event), and local tomatoes from Redland Organics along with garlic chives still warm from the sun on their market stand I visited before heading to the Magic Cottage.
Redland Organics also slipped a sprig of rosemary into the boxes of small red potatoes, a thoughtful reminder that farmers want you to cook the food after or even in lieu of admiring it.
I’ll quarter these and roast them after tossing them with oil and scattering the rosemary needles on top—and that will go beneath local eggs from my CSA egg share (I’ve named my hen Gloria) for lunch tomorrow…
If I were cooking lunch for you at the Magic Cottage, what would you ask me to make?

I would ask you to make me whatever you wanted because everything you cook looks/is delicious!
…However I am partial to salt-crusted fish that we hit with a hammer and spontaneously-made pizelles!

Mica, truly, there should be more salt-crusted fish on kthread.
When you visit, we’ll go to the intense fish market here (there are fish bigger than both of us together) and pick up supplies for the batter—
