"I once asked what dish I might cook for a visiting friend, and she replied with a two-hundred-and-twenty-one-word text message. “How about a roasted pumpkin and pheasant salad with pomegranates parmesan and balsamic!” she began. “Yum so full of flavor and you can do everything ahead!” She continued, “OK so find some nice hearty salad greens like arugula trevise and pumpkin/squash. I like onion squash or delicata. Chop up into rustic but good textured sizes this will give your salad air and Elegance.” A few days later came another text. “Hows your bird? Did you start yet? You can call me anytime hope your having a wonderful weekend x."
