Home is where the hearth is 🔥

#nesting #woodfired (at At Home in Napa)
Beets for roasting,
buried in coals
until blackened
like an amateur’s marshmallow
at summer camp.
Peeled, sliced thin
and given a wallop
of horseradish crème fraîche
to balance their inherent
sweetness.

Before the fog pulls away
its steel cloak of coolness,
the oven is stoked
with yellowing headlines
of heartache
and pine cones
the size of footballs
scrounged from the Sierras
and dried till brittle.
-
A dozen eggplants,
a skillet of tiny tomatoes,
and a cast iron
of circus colored carrots
bedazzled
with
coriander, caraway,
cumin and cayenne
sizzle
splatter
singe.

Pea shoots wilted in a wood oven with olive oil, green garlic and salt.
