My most treasured friend Julia Turshen came over the other evening to dine with me. I sauteed spinach and mushrooms with some flavorings that now escape me. Julia made a delightfully rustic pappa al pomodoro soup out of flatbread and tomatoes, and then pan roasted the tilapia filets that I had marinated in white wine, garlic, lemon and cumin. Save for the fish, everything had been found in the garbage. Candlelit whispers of sweet nothings ensued!
