It’s become a bit of a quarantine routine to watch some sort of cooking or gardening show as soon as the kids wake up and jump in our bed for morning cuddles (after Jake finishes milking Sweet Pea and brings me a cup of coffee). We watched David Lebovitz’s Instagram live video and I found David and Roman’s interaction adorable as well as heartwarming since they never talk badly about anyone and there is only the tiniest squeak of snark that sneaks in. It’s almost as if David is trying so hard to stay positive, but just can’t help not mentioning some innocent grievance. In this case, how stressful it is to translate on demand or how he was trying so hard not to criticize Roman’s knife work. I was drooling as they mixed the dressing. As is typical for me, once I get a food craving in my head I can’t stop thinking about it until I make it happen. We went on our first date in months later that afternoon to Espinosa Vineyards for an hour long wine tasting. I could only think about how we were going to have to stop at the grocery store on the way home so I cold make this salad. We knew this one might be a little challenging for the boys so we only made a half recipe (two servings). The full recipe would look like double what you see in the photo. As you might also be able to see, we watched Amelie while we cooked as we were feeling all the Parisian vibes.
