Dinner

As we go forward into the twenty-first century, so we go backward, to find what is real and true and what will last.

For dinner, that means slow roasts, fast grills, and heart-warming rice and grain dishes.

It doesn’t mean garlic bread, nachos, deep-fried everything, or paper doilies.

Truffles and caviar are rather nice, but a good dinner doesn’t need them.

We all want food that makes us feel comfortable, and warm and loved, and the time we want it is at the end of a hard day.

For this, we will conquer new worlds, fight impossible fights, work like galley slaves, and every now and then do the dishes and put out the garbage.
