Pasta with Anchovies and Parsley

Thursday September 27
Both of us had sore throats and rasped palates from a cold, so the best thing to make for dinner was Miss Williams' divine salty pesto-type pasta, which we haven't had for almost a year (all the more appropriate, since we met Liz through Laurie). The salt soothes your throat, and the flavors are so strong and simple that they can overcome the cold lozenges you've been sucking all day. Also, it's quick, which allowed us to make an early curtain for the opening night of the Theatre Royal Haymarket Company production of Wycherley's The Country Wife. ("Hey, there's Mr. and Mrs. First Nighter!") And we are proud to say that, due to the powerful and long-lasting effects of our salty dinner, we didn't cough once during the performance.
