Here's a little slide show to reminder myself that this is a short week and I, I will survive.

orechiette with shrimp, zucchini, and spicy peppers, lunch at Bottega

an attempt at Ina's salted-radishes-with-bread-and-butter appetizer, which she says is oh so French. I like radishes, myself, but there was something half-baked about this concept. I'm certain it wasn't operator error.

But look what a pretty color the radishes turn the salt! (Note: The half-baked nature of the finished product slowed TFin and me down not at all.)

The Lord's gift to palates: garlic, roasted to death and smeared on bread with butter. Get this: Butter not even necessary. I KNOW. Blasphemy.
![green sprouts.](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2421/3673108428_4e0d5ee7ee.jpg)
beautiful Brussels sprouts, which also got the Ina treatment—scorched in a 400-degree oven for 35 minutes until they crackle and snap like potato chips and liberally salted for maximum effect.
![king bean.](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3598/3672300773_b948a87b90.jpg)
lima beans. Be still, my heart.
![lady peas.](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3361/3672300679_0163a5b9b4.jpg)
lady peas, blushing and sweet
![corny.](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3374/3672300239_fee74ec7ce.jpg)
polished corn kernels all in a row, putting my teeth to shame. And reminding me I need to whiten.
