"Good butter served at room temperature / Maldon sea salt in a small dish / Tough, tattoo-ed, secretly-sweet butchers that nod knowingly when you bring them your husband's recherche meat request / Ramps — if it's on a menu, I trust the kitchen / Handwritten menus / Any time a server tells me: "Excellent order" / The evocative names on heirloom-variety seed packets: "Grandma Hadley's lettuce;" "Jimmy Nardello peppers" / The butcher's blocky Sharpie handwriting on the brown paper parcel containing our lamp chops / A French market basket laden with the day's provisions: baguette, fromage, fruits de mer / The term fruits de mer / My husband's potager garden, and the way he ministers to it year-round / Candlelight and table linens / The sizzle of butter in a well-seasoned skillet, and the maillard that results / The bald love that goes into preparing a meal

Rainy day treat

Are you big on napping?

I can’t ever sleep in the middle of the day, strangely. But I can lay very quietly and still. I’m usually just making up scenarios in my head, though.

Describe your favorite blanket

Crocheted, oatmeal, made in Portugal. Looks like the most elegant, heavy doily you’ve ever seen.

It was actually something I bought on a whim that became the entire basis and colour story for my apartment redo.
