Winter squash

Dear diary, last night Dante came over and cooked dinner for us -
delicata squash from Bradley's cut up and sauteed in butter and rosemary and sage and then braised in cider and a little vinegar until that reduced to a glaze, and some of Mike's (Yezzi) grandma's hot Italian sausage that Dante put on a toasted Tom Cat baguette.

Dante also brought this photo with him, taken in 1925 at the BBG.

Which of course reminded me of the pic I'd seen of Stumpy's Dad, taken, what? 15 years later? Up in Hunts Point.

Ah, well, glad you asked. I would of said so up front but didn't want to sound like the duck's A I might B: Ca' del Prete "Casot" Vino da Tavola. Giorgio Ferrera (no, not that Giorgio Ferrara - at least, I don't think so...). Nebbiola from Piedmont. Biodynamic, and all that. But, really, what matters, yummy.
