Resumption

I regret not having kept up with this. There have been some good meals recently, which I should have liked to record. One day's lunch, when S.T. shared his leftovers from the previous evening's classroom dinner, was Persian: flat bread, salad-e shirazi, khoreshteh bamieh, roast chicken, and polo, or boiled rice, though with none of the tasty crusty rice from the bottom of the pan, tah-deeg -- I suspect Sassan ate all of it, leaving none for me. Then there was Thanksgiving: a starter course of crab cake and msclun salad with Caesar dressing; a corn chowder with haddock; then the Big Show, roast turkey and apple-cranberry stuffing, boiled corn, sweet and sour stewed cabbage, whipped squash, mashed potatoes, cranberry-orange relish, french bread, Durkee green bean casserole, spiral-cut ham. And of course the days before and after of holiday eating: snacks and pie and pudding and so on to excess.

So, back on track, with today's consumption to be detailed tonight after the last meal is eaten.
