Saturday 1 November - All Saints Day
A simple meal after a trying day (scary things with eyes; but it's all OK now).
So: four nice sole fillets on a baking pan, with one trick adapted from Gordon Ramsay: we not only smeared the pan with EVOO as per usual but salted and seasoned the surface as well. Then under the broiler for about 5 minutes. Topped with an herb butter featuring chives, white pepper, a little oregano, and parsley squished in with some lime juice.
On the side a salad of radicchio di Milano (Barbara now knows and grows these things; praised by Virgil, too). Yes, I know, this late. But the LOL (lil ol' lady) at the farmers market had the very last couple of bunches and some cute, cute, cute oak-leaf lettuces, plus a few cherry tomatoes. Thank you, Indian Summer.
Angel's Gate 2006 Chardonnay: unoaked; good varietal tastes: a little butter, yeast, and pear.
