As I opened this week’s mail, I thought about the experts who give you their wisdom on these pages. In reading all that you write, I am still learning. The Italian phrase “Ancora imparo” means “Yet, I am learning.” Legend (or truth?) has it that Michelangelo said this at age 87. Are there any among our readers over 87? Please let us know if you are still learning like the rest of us had better be, pre-87.
Jane HenegarOnce again I am scouring the good questions that live in the minds of neighbors on our street, as requests are the fuel for this column. Who has a fine recipe for quinoa salad, and one for farro salad, then one for bean salad? How good it would be if someone could supply a general recipe with specific variations in ingredients so that we might suit a salad to the beans or grains and necessary proteins in our particular cupboards.
VEGGIE DELIGHTS
Rose Secrest’s vegetarian delights sent this week are not in the cookbook she has published. Perhaps in cookbooks to come …
Note: Ms. Secrest does not include salt among her ingredients, trusting the cook to add or omit as desired.
