I thought: why not! go look in the pantry. start with pasta. and go. so i followed your lead and veared away from the fennel towards whatever i had. some broccoli and what really is overfrozen asparagus. i started the water and in the meantime got inspired to take all the half gone produce and throw it into a stock pot. its on the back burner as i type. dinner is done. and delicious. and a huge pot of tasty stock is brewing ala deborah madison's indian stock base. perfect timing for tomorrow's soup. exciting! thanks for the inspiration. you made dinner happen. you inspired me! i signed up for your email alerts the other day after reading your article in the times. today was my first email. i had gotten home from work. and as per usual, felt that there was nothing to eat. nothing to be made. and debated, the usual: take out. and then i read your blog post about the spontaneous dinner.
