A new plate made by Nao Nakayama.
A lemon on the new plate.
We have been outside fighting the weeds
I went on a little longer than was wise.
I was hungry but too enervated to do more than squeeze a lemon
and stir it into olive oil and grated Parmesan.
A sauce for a bowl of tagliatelle.
Lucille, your posts and pictures are like little meditations,. I love them.
ReplyDeleteGosh, you are so much more sophisticated than I am in your tastes. I'd have had a cheese sandwich (though I must confess I'd have made slightly more effort for my non-vegetarian husband). I hope you're winning against the weeds. They don't half sneak up on one at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteYou tells such a good story in so few words. It's wonderful. Your writing is such food for thought, in content & style. Thankyou. Katharine
ReplyDeleteSurely you are not expecting another Visit?
ReplyDeleteAnd now , of course , that's the only possible thing to have for lunch ....
ReplyDeleteWhere's a lemon ?
Lucille, how well you've described this day. The visual and verbal curve of this post is beautiful.

Beautiful plate! Why can I not be stylish when enervated and hungry? A slice of bread and butter in the hand is about as good as I manage....
ReplyDeleteNot only a beautiful plate but also a lemon with the stalk attached - haven't had one of those since I went scrumping in Tunisia - or Morocco...
