It has been Day of Decorative Dinner. First of all, we
picked the small, sour apples off the various trees around the place, and since
they don’t cut it as eating apples, and the Professor’s on a diet, made apple
jelly, adding thereunto crimson crab-apples. The result glows in its jars like
giant cornelians. The Two Nice Girls produced a pumpkin, or squash, this week
which is a subtle greyish-turquoise on the outside, and bright orange within,
from which I have made a orange soup (not without difficulty, since in its raw
state, it’s as hard as wood). Also on today’s hit list was a Romesco
cauliflower, that is, one of those beautiful bright green Art Deco ones, in
which the florets rise into little spikes. This is in the process of becoming a
cauliflower gratin. I hadn’t planned it that way, but it’s added an extra
dimension to my operations to be dealing
with one gloriously coloured item after another.
