Andy and I decided that should be the name of this blog entry. It refers to my summery, dreamery cocktail at Marzano in Rockridge. With a name as sophisticated as The Novelist, you hope for great things from a cocktail, and in this case, you are rewarded with an icy mix of gin, lime juice, a touch of absinthe and the aforementioned muddled fruit. And since we'd been hanging out in bookstores before dinner, drinking The Novelist seemed very apropos.
Also on the table: arugula salad with almond slivers and juicy bits of orange; wonderful braised greens, rich with olive oil; and our super-thin-crust Napoletana pizza with olives, capers, chili flakes and anchovies.
After dinner, on a warm night, you can make your way slowly up College Ave., thinking how very lucky you are. Life may be muddled, but it's not so bad when you have your friends, good food, your health.
Get well soon, Michelle.
