I took a fantastic drive the other day across the top of Connecticut, from Simsbury over to Kingston, N.Y., through old tobacco fields and cow pastures and apple orchards and into the Hudson Valley under a bluebird sky.
Slow-roasted salmon with salsa verde?
I settled on artichoke carbonara (above), with bucatini and a garnish of raw egg yolk, to almost literally gild the lily.
I drove over the bridge from Rhinecliff in afternoon sunlight and could almost see the dish glimmering below me on the river.
I like it on any Sunday, but if you’re in need of a fantastic Mother’s Day meal, it’d be extra nice this evening.
