Monday 7 November
Sharon kindly gave us some V-burger, so we were inspired to make a big batch of chili, and have her and Liz over to help us eat it. We made it much as before, but this time with no bell pepper (Liz is allergic).
Holt baked some wonderful cornbread muffins to go along, using this recipe, but without the inclusions (onion, cheese, corn kernels, red peppers). He used the coarse polenta cornmeal we got at Northside Farmers Market from a pleasant young woman with a mill, and it was terrific: very corny and a beautiful rough texture.
We also had a salad of greens gathered from Sharon's garden, and since the late arugula was very peppery and strong, dressed it with something to sweeten it: a spoonful of our own pesto, loosened with some white balsamic and a droplet of extra oil.
Dessert was our long-hoarded jar of Michael Clark's preserved pears in wine sauce. Oh, and there was lots of red wine at all phases of the meal.
