Vegetables and cheese kind of take me back to the mid 90's and the microwave and the Green Giant. But Nigel Slater has been helping to disabuse me of the idea that this combo somehow low-brow.
—Took lightly steamed local asparagus and tossed it with cream, salt, thyme, garlic, and dried red pepper—then topped with cheddar and parm to darken under the broiler.
—Pan fried local lamb chops over high heat and basted with butter, thyme, and garlic
Had with a stunning, round, elegant, and floral (let's say violet notes that I usually associate with Northern Rhone wines) Cotes du Rhone from Marcel Richaud ("Terre de Galets"). It's far better wine than I deserve, but when life gives you a gift, the least you can do is appreciate the damn thing.
More new Beach House on the radio, btw.
