from New Haven: globe trotting

I can say this about Labor Day week-end in New Haven: it may require lifting, moving, dragging, dusting, arranging, unpacking. It may be taxing, strenuous, demanding.

But it is also delicious.

Looking back, I see heaping plates of spicy, satisfying foods from every corner of the globe. We have our favorites by now. Each evening, I lose myself in the heady foods and aromas of kitchens that mix spices and ingredients in beautiful ways:

Tuesday: Eritrean

Wednesday: Italian

Thursday: Thai
summer 06 909


Friday: Malaysian
summer 06 923


Saturday: Japanese
summer 06 947


Sunday: Latin American
summer 06 958


Monday: I go home, full of warm feelings and wonderful food.

Daughters are ensconced in their new living quarters. Time to head back to Wisconsin. It will be salads and scrambled eggs again. Though not for long – in a couple of weeks I get to test my soon-new camera in a distant venue. But for now – home.

    At this moment, my order of prefernce would be:

    1) Italian (I always want Italian first)
    2) Malasian (depending on my fantasy of what's wrapped inside)
    3) Japanese (that spread looks particularly tasty, but please pass the wasabi)
    4) Latin American (hearty fare)
    5) Eritrean (is that squid?? I love the doughy wrap thing Eritrean food comes in taeta?)
    6) Thai (that dish looks kinda plain and maybe too sweet).

    Preference. Malaysian. Funny how the errors always stand out more in the finished product.
