Dear jukebox in my head and other musings

Dear jukebox in my head,

I can handle a lot of things, even Sussudio at appalling mental volume at 3 am, but seriously, Centerfold...Why? To paraphrase Viv, "Right, it's The Chromatics for you." Torturing the jukebox in my brain with neo-Italo-Disco covers of Kate Bush songs is only fair. (BTW, The Chromatics version of Running Up That Hill is really good.)

Sincerely,

Gratinier...

Also, I am a total whore for halibut cheeks. Seriously, I scored some at the Farmers Market this week. I pan seared them, seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika and served them in a room temperature puree of the classic English peas with lettuce (and mint). Dessert was Mt. Tam and Adriatic figs (the big green ones). Bonus dessert was Walnut Sables, because I felt the need to make cookies for some reason and I have walnuts I should probably make use of before the new crop comes in. Also, should you have the time and inclination, go to the Ferry Plaza on Saturday, buy some plums of the varietal (hybrid, I think) Flavor Grenade (available from Hamada Farms). Silly name, but the plums are fabulous and absolutely worth every penny.

So jukebox in my head, The Chromatics and Flavor Grenade. Hit the deck and behave yourself.
