Bowing to the Veggie Gods

Last night, I was honored to be a guest of the lovely and talented Ms Cat-Choo. In spite of some very unwelcome drama that evening, she prepared a feast like no other, inspired by magical Morocco. Having visited the Ferry Building Farmers' Market in the morning, and acquired a bounty of gorgeous produce, our charming hostess presented each veggie in its own bowl, lovingly seasoned with fresh herbs and za'atar: golden carrots; celery; gypsy peppers; potatoes with parsley; pristine heirloom tomatoes. As if that were not enough, there was fragrant rice, and petrale sole cooked with olive oil and preserved lemon. We ate and ate, drank wine, and finished with some vegan chocolate cake and strawberries. Ms Cat-Choo, thanks again for feeding us so well. May your days be delicious and drama-free.
