Tubers

Tonight Karin and Daniel, my temporary roommates, are making soup out of the Jerusalem artichokes they harvested from their garden. Neither Jewish nor really artichokey, they’re rather tasty when eaten raw. They really want me to enjoy the soup with them, so they’re off looking for lactose-free milk. I feel a bit guilty. Not so much because they’re off getting the milk, but because I just snuck some leftover pasta. The sauce was really good and I’d been thinking about it all day.
