For an unmistakably January day this past Tuesday, it was actually pretty gorgeous and not miserably cold, under bright sunshine and with the previous day's breezes mercifully stilled. I'd been holding onto a pork tenderloin and that afternoon was ideal for its hoisin-glazed roasting, along with whole green beans and a pot of garlicky quinoa. It was a filling late afternoon repast that hinted at healthiness, if you'll at least squint and look at it from the side.
When I got up early that fine Tuesday morning and saw the temperature reading of 28°F outside, it put me in the mindset of a nice morning fire to go along with the quiet time with Sumner and the day-starting coffee on which I am most dependent. This was Fire No. 85, because I cannot stop counting things around here.
