User post: Quick, Elegant Spring Dinner
user
People don’t really pop over for dinner much round these parts.
There are dinner parties,
which
are lovely in their own ways, but then there is just the humble
supper: a bowl of
soup, a knot of
bread,
and a friend or two. Those meals make me happiest if only for their
sheer simplicity, for the total lack of expectations on the part of
either cook or guest. And lack of expectations, in my experience,
often leads to something very, very good.
That is why whenever my sister calls to say she will be getting
her haircut in my neighborhood and can she come up for dinner, I am
overjoyed. It’s not because she never fails to bring Lillet and
paté, though those are nice perks — I just wish she ate dinner at
my table more often. Katy, consider this, if you didn’t already
know you had one, a standing invitation.
