January 31, 2015 Breakfast Old Taos Guesthouse Lunch Lan’s in Santa Fe Dinner
Cesar Salad
We started the day with a lovely breakfast at 9:00 at the
Old Taos Guesthouse of Quiche Lorraine, a muffin and a small bowl of fresh
fruit with yogurt and tea and orange juice.
Then we then drove south to Santa Fe to see the Modernist show at
Georgia O’Keefe Museum and visited Talbot’s Gallery to see some modernist prints
tot were overpriced. The Modernist show
at the O’Keefe was terrific. The O'Keefe was showing Raymond Jonson's 1940 No. 10 oil painting with similar elements to my 1940 No. 10
watercolor. We then drove to Stephen’s and
did not see anything interesting. It was
2:00 so we stopped at Lan’s for lunch and split a lamb wonton appetizer and a
bowl of Coconut Soup with seafood. Both
dishes were amazing. The lamb wonton was
garnished with thinly sliced and fried shallot with olive oil and an Oriental basil
infused vinegar or oil. The soup had
pickled ginger, tomatoes, scallops, shrimps, large green lipped mussels, and a
bit of salmon, and onion slices in a rich rice vermicelli noodle soup with a
medley of herbs that was foreign to me such as on that tasted like thinly
sliced kefir lemon leaf that Lan called “bram”.
After the late lunch we drove to Albuquerque and took a
short nap. Then we went to the opening
for the 516 Gallery featuring Albuquerque artists and then walked to Fisher
Gallery at 203 3rd St. to see the Bob Ellis and Ann Dunbar opening. We then went home and I made the only thing I
could think to eat after a several days of eating, Cesar Salad. Suzette spun a bowl of Bibb lettuce and l made
a Cesar Dressing with smoked anchovies, the juice of 1 lemon, a dash of salt,
about 2/3 cup of olive oil and an egg.
I shredded about ½ cup of Romano Pecorino cheese and garnished the salad
with the fresh croutons we had made. Suzette drank the PPI Il Donato red wine and I
drank PPI San Francisco Station Sauvignon Blanc.
Bon Appétit
