Doesn’t sound like a good combination, does it? I spent the day flying cross-country with a broken hand and an almost-five-year old (talk about relying on the kindness of strangers–thanks strangers!) to arrive at friends’ house dazed and confused. Is there any better feeling than someone cooking for you after weary travels?
Part of the meal was mushrooms sautéed and sweetened with maple syrup. Not my cup of tea, I’m afraid, but only because I don’t particularly care for maple. I can see others really digging the earthy-woodsy-sweetness of it all as my hosts did.
More tempting treats to me were the grilled calamari–sweet and meaty with plenty of bright lemon–and a great big fresh green salad with thinly sliced small, tart apples and crumbled mild feta. One host lamented the lack of hearts of palm in the house, as did I, but, despite the deprivation, the meal, when combined with a G+T and such dear friends, fixed everything. Everything except, of course, my hand.
