Dinner:
Adapted from the recipe “Macaroni with 4 Cheeses!” by Emeril Lagasse:
Macaroni with gold cheddar, gruyere, fontina, and parmigiano-reggiano cheeses and minced garlic served with cold prosciutto and steamed broccoli. Got the cheeses and the prosciutto from Murray’s on Bleecker Street. There were a lot of people ahead of me. While waiting, I found some expensive, organic, gourmet garlic, which turned out to be the best garlic I’ve ever used. Most of the flower stalk was still attached to the bulb and it was hard to break off cloves by hand. So I used a knife to cut the bulb in half. The flesh of each clove had the color and texture of an unripe pear. And it was sweating, it was almost juicy. Not at all like the smooth, white garlic you find in the supermarket. I ate a thin slice raw. It was rich and nutty, but not super-hot. I saved 2 cloves to plant, minced the rest, and mixed it with the macaroni before adding the shredded cheese. Wanted to serve the macaroni and cheese with white wine, but I forgot to buy wine on the way to my sister’s apartment in Brooklyn. So we had cranberry juice and club soda leftover from a party she had the weekend before.
