I hadn't ever heard of escarole until I moved in with Paul. Definitely not a salad-y kind of lettuce, but if you saute it with olive oil and garlic for a good long time (longer than you think it needs,) it becomes pretty wonderful.
I knew I was in for a treat when Tonya told me awhile back that there was a food dialog in the works! This was such a vibe-y, sentimental, funny & evocative joy. I love how my abundant food memories are stunningly different (minus the lifelong pizza obsession), but the kicked-up memories are wildly relatable. Food, taste, scent, prep (or minimal prep) - all a huge, gratifying part of the human condition. Beautiful exchange!
Gorgeous
Food is the stuff of romance and life
thought escarole is still a terrain my taste buds are yet to happily traverse
