Friday March 22
We and Vaden spent most of the day
goggling at the wonders of the Library of Congress interior and a Civil War
Painting show at the Smithsonian American Art Museum/National Portrait Gallery.
When we got home, Ginger renewed
our spirits with creative snacks: green and purple (!) endive leaves stuffed
with her own take on pimento cheese; black and green colossal olives; and roasted
garlic cloves. Not to mention glasses of
Mark West pinot noir 2011.
She had already made a batch of
savory curried lentil soup and a tray of baked chicken breasts for sandwiches,
so we just waltzed from appetizers into dinner. There was sourdough bread for the
chicken sandwiches, and a refreshing salad featuring slivered tangerine,
celery, and avocados.
We had the same dessert as
yesterday, and we loved it once again.
Ginger does her thing in the
kitchen with grace and serenity, and we are happy to either help or let her go
it on her own, as she likes.
