Sausage

Eastside Road, June 16, 2010—
THE NEIGHBORS DOWN THE HILL were up for dinner tonight: I'd brought them a bottle of interesting wine from Sicily, but wanted to see/hear their responses to it, so asked them up and shared it with them. What a guy.

We grilled sausages outside over charcoal and grapevine cuttings — the last of the Mangalitsa from four months ago, which I'm happy to report kept well in the freezer; and four Toscana sausages made by Franco Dunn, who I wrote about here last October. A very interesting contrast between the two, which complemented one another well, I thought. Lindsey cooked little potatoes and favas, and we had a green salad, and oh my what a delicious zabaglione for dessert, with strawberries from the market…
