Agreed on Moore being a better novelist than Didion. I just don't think fiction was Didion's strength. I sympathize regarding the interview! I tend to be a people-pleasing interviewer which makes for not great results unless it's a puff piece someone's looking for--I would have made a terrible journalist. :) I absolutely love your culinary recs because in my mind I'm someone who will use them which may or may not be reality right now, but it's what I aspire to. Ha! I keep meaning to pick up some Ernaux so thanks for that reminder.
It's the first recipe in The Art of Simple Cooking by Alice Waters and I make it - literally - every week. We love it on everything/anything. Very adaptable. Last week I didn't have capers so I used the juice from a jar of guindilla peppers.

Stephanie, very curious about your salsa verde recipe...
