sign up for the lunch slot. I tried waiting up for my husband last night and made it to 9:30. Today I made a fish chowder with ramps, potato, cod, scallops, a spill of cream, fresh thyme, bay leaf, parsley, a tiny piece of celery and a squeeze of lemon at the end. We bought a bottle of wine and a baguette and played old Tom Waits in the noon hour lull of construction when NYC comes as close as it can to quiet.
