Pretty Yummy

I pulled some organic chicken legs out of the freezer and made a sort of stew around them using only things from the garden: green beans, chard, tomatoes, kale, zucchini, carrot, celery, shallot, basil, oregano, parsley, and scallion all got added at different times so they could cook the right amount of time before serving. Finished with a dollop of tomato sauce from Milo's pasta (normally he eats with us but today he needed something earlier) and served on brown rice from curry night it was simple yet gratifying and almost totally local. We had some Magnien Bourgogne rosé and then moved on to a Pleiades that I opened on Monday night- his wine seems impervious to the effects of air and time- it was as rich, young, and complex as if I had just popped the cork.
