Saturday 14 August
It has been stinking hot, day after day. We usually hide in the air-conditioned office (actually cold enough that you shiver in your sweater) or the air-conditioned house, but sometimes we sneak out to the movies. Tonight we did, and Kathy came along, to see "I am Love." Verdict: in livid color, but not enough food.
After the movies, Kathy came back for dinner, having already brought a vegetable gratin made according to a classic Craig Claiborne recipe. We broiled a London broil dry-rubbed with New Mexican chile, ground coriander, and cumin, and made a chopped salad of cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, and garden tomatoes, dressed with oil and lime juice. Dessert was Graeter's finest medley of mocha chip, coconut chip, and the fresh peach of summer.
