Of the foodal variety. No turkey today at my family dinner, but here’s the pumpkin cheese cake my aunt made. My sister was the main artiste, producing a savory bread pudding with kale, fall off the bone roast lamb, Brussels sprouts, potatoes and even a batch of luscious Parmesan and butter biscuits, made she said, because she was anxious about the lamb.
It was all as good as good can be. I brought some Spanish wine, that I took a little gamble on and was pleasantly surprised by.
In the beginning of the day I met a friend for a quiet walk around Central Park. The sky had cleared, and it was warm and perfect.
After it was all done I came home and fed Lehigh a few leftovers. Just so you guys know I’m not the stern parent some of you think I am. She seemed as thankful to have me as I am to have her, and indeed as I am to have the rich, lush life that I do.
