excerpt from 'letter to a friend'

recipe for a beautiful day:

[from the backyard]
sunshine
clove-scented blankets
birdsong
dandelions

[from the farmers' market]
arugula
sweet baguette
venison pate' (country-style)
crumbly sheep cheese
the knowledge of shared delights

[from the pantry]
mint mate' (cold)
coarse sea salt
olive oil

mix in desired quantities and enjoy!

... yesterday was an inspired day, a tickler of a day. it was sunshine and warmth and silliness and a sweet introduction to a sultry summer.
