Nothing startling here: spaghetti, our last shishito peppers, anchovies, olives, garlic, tomatoes. Except, hidden away, was a modest quantity of grated orange zest, which was startling in a low-key way: every mouthful, every sniff was touched by its perfume. A potent ingredient.
Shishito peppers from last week's Dag Hammarskjöld @GrowNYC farmers' market. Green ones, ripe red ones, orangish ones, briefly tossed in a hot frying pan. I was so giddy at seeing them, I've forgotten which grower we bought them from.
Great pork shoulder from Ox Hollow farm at the @UnSqGreenmarket. Some of it just became this small batch of goulash - more Viennese than Hungarian: Lots and lots of onions.
Last night we got home from a 3-week trip full of new sights, flavors - and adventures (often relating to public transport). This evening, our first dinner in our own dining room: Sausage ragù & tagliatelle rolled thicker than usual to stand up to the ragù. It's nice to be back.
For a few years, I've wanted to buy a pair of mittens on the theory that they'd be warmer than gloves. Drawn into this lovely shop in Antwerp by its unreconstructed decor, I bought a pair today. Now I need New York to be cold enough to put them to the test.
I haven't been posting much - it takes so much mental (& physical) energy to be a tourist that there's none left to upload photos. But here's what I just ate at CIro's restaurant in Antwerp: Eel with green sauce. This can be a murky, flavorless dish, but tonight's was delicious.
At home, walking to the farmers' market and back counts as a big day. On vacation it's different. Here's what we did yesterday (after a walk in St. James's Park): a matinée of Titus Andronicus at the Hampstead Theatre; Rossini's Cinderella at @E_N_O; late supper at @JSheekeyRest.
The last few dinners before traveling often involve excavating and eating treats from the freezer. Hence this evening's fried cod bought a couple of weeks ago @catchofthehamptons at the Dag Hammarkjöld @GrowNYC greenmarket. Cod from our nearby waters really is delicious.
Like rösti, but not just potatoes: This one included a julienne of leek and not-too-fierce poblano pepper, both from Juquilita CT Farm at the Dag Hammarskjöld @GrowNYC farmers' market.
A couple of evenings ago we ate a delicious stir-fry of cabbage, pork, leeks, ginger.... Last night, we eked out the leftovers with extraordinarily flavorsome peppers, added some stock and oyster sauce, and reconceived it as a good noodle dish. Fun to eat noodles with chopsticks.
A while ago we had a delicious long-aged rib eye steak from @EatMeaty at @ChelseaMarketNY. I got them to sell me what, in my anatomical ignorance, I'm calling the cap meat that lay over our steak. I froze it, and we ate it this evening; it was wonderful: tender, juicy, flavorful.

Those ripe peppers and tomatoes (all from @GrowNYC market vendors) made quite a beautiful gallon of lecsó. Untypically lush; initially, a shock, but then we could hardly stop eating it (served with spaetzle).
We just got back from the Dag Hammarskjöld @grownyc farmers' market. Clearly, it's LECSÓ DAY! Hope there's room in the freezer. (And yes, I know most people use long green peppers for this, but I've always preferred a mix of red varieties.)
And, after just shy of two hours' steaming, our cotechino dinner. Lips still stuck together from all that pig skin. Such a great sausage.
I thought we'd eaten the last cotechino from a batch made a couple of years ago, but, searching in the freezer for something else, I came upon yet another. I believe this really is the last one. We'll eat it a little later with last night's salsa verde & some mashed potatoes.
Eggplant, tomato sauce, caciocavallo, mint. No leftovers (it was a *very* small eggplant).
Charming display of zucchini / courgette blossoms at Lani's Farm at today's @UnSqGreenmarket @grownyc. Indeed, the whole market was lush and paradisical, if uncomfortably hot and humid. Too bad we're going away for a few days and couldn't buy much of anything.
"Baby" bok choi / bai cai from Sunday's Stuyvesant Town @grownyc Greenmarket. Simmered in a broth made with lots and lots of ginger and a few other things.
Green beans from @SamascottOrch braised with the most delicious tomatoes (and a few other ingredients). Plus just a few cavatelli (home made, but from the freezer - from which they emerged in sterling condition) to make it seem more like dinner.
