Saturday 2 May
Oh, the joy of a normal Saturday morning: being together, getting up late, having coffee on the couch, listening to CarTalk, and then driving to Findlay Market for a browse and greet. Among the gleanings were some wondrous fava beans at Madison's and even some baby basil plants from Nancy, so we chose to make Spring Vegetable Soup.
Onions instead of leeks again, and small red potatoes instead of green beans; but now some real basil. As it cooked, we picked some mint, made juleps, and watched the Kentucky Derby. If there's no long-tailed filly running (as the Divine Miss Williams hopes) we choose horses by names or appearances. Neither of us saw Mine That Bird coming, but we should have gone with Calvin Borel, which sounds just like Burrell. Still, the soup was marvelous.
