It was kind of late last night when we started making dinner. I hadn’t felt exactly right all afternoon and, well, we had to swim in the pool for a little while last night. Had to. I drank a bottle of San Pelligrino while paddling around and that seemed to settle my stomach.
Of the recipes we prepared this week, this one took the most time but the resulting broth made the extra time well worth it. We agreed the next time we make this dish we’ll substitute mussels in for the clams in this recipe as we both prefer mussels. For rustic bread, we enjoyed slices of Flour Garden’s baguette (the better-half went to see his friends at the Belmont Butchery yesterday–he brought home some usual suspects and some of the best cured salami–I don’t remember the name but it was sublime).
