The morning after my long drive to and from Pennsylvania, I slept until almost 9 a.m. For me, 9 a.m. is like half the day shot.

I had three meetings that day, no leftovers in the fridge and “homework” to finish before any of the meetings. I had scrambled egg and toast for breakfast and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. I don’t do this often, but I do like peanut butter, especially with strawberry preserves, and that’s what I actually craved.

By the time I was ready to leave for the first meeting, I decided to stop at The Bridge Market in Groton for a Caesar salad I could eat between meetings. Unfortunately, there was no time between meetings, so I took it home at 9 p.m., famished, and ate it at the dining room table. It was a superb Caesar salad and I am sure it would have been even better four hours before the romaine had wilted. Maybe it was even better than the one I make at home.
