You'd think, maybe, that this was served at some fancy restaurant in Hawai'i, or perhaps in Silver Lake ... but no: this, improbably, appeared in front of me at lunch in the University Club today (it's gnudi - little balls of ricotta and semolina - much lighter than gnocchi - and, apparently, the contents of a window box). I can only assume that this is the institution's latest contribution to sustainabilty, along with removing the waste bins from our rooms and installing sortable containers for different sorts of debris in the corridors. This has me concerned about the contract cleaning staff, who currently empty the bins. And, I kid you not, the university offers the rationale that walking further to the recycling boxes will benefit not just the planet, but our physical health (through exercise) and mental wellbeing (through taking a break from our work). Yeah, sure.
