Agreed

The basic moral of this “story” could be applied to a number of human experiences beyond divorce, and I agree with her bottom line wholeheartedly. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/10/magazine/the-divorce-delusion.html?_r=1&ref=magazine

Grilled radicchio with shrimp, mint-pesto and breadcrumbs

What a nice, unique, fresh dinner. I found these gorgeous radicchio the other day: they weren’t your standard round, purple ones but rather more oblong and with a decidedly green tinge under the purple. They were too pretty not to buy. Wonder if they’re treviso…will have to check. Anyway, tonight I grilled those along with skewers of shrimp simply marinated in EVOO, s&p, and lemon zest. I also toasted some fresh breadcrumbs in brown’ish-butter and put those atop the concoction. I was thinking baguette in a different form, and the crumbs offered a nice textural addition.

Things I like when I head out in my yard

1) The smell that tomatoes leave on your hands after you’ve pruned their leaves. 2) The crickets’ song and the way the intensity ebbs and flows.

3) The generalized white noise and its ability to soothe.

4) Not hearing Oliver scream from bed, “Mommy, drink owange juice in your bed, not go to sleep.”
