This was a more normal day. I did legal work efficiently and finished what I needed to do by 11:30.
I decided to cook a miso soup with noodles. I filled a 2 quart pot 2/3 full with water. I then added 1 tsp. of dehydrated dashi and about 1 ½ tsp. of dried seaweed. I the diced and added ½ of a large shallot and two large mushrooms. Then I added a cooked salmon filet, four leaves of Napa cabbage sliced, about ten sugar snap peas sliced in half, three Fish balls, six heads on shrimp, and a heaping T. of red miso, plus three types of noodles: rice stick, bean thread, and Japanese buckwheat noodles (soba).
I cooked the soup for about thirty minutes until all the ingredients were cooked and tender and then ate it with green tea and a puddle of hoisin sauce and sriracha to dip the bits of meat into.
After lunch I called Mike and met him at the Candy store to engage him to cover the broken window with plywood and to secure it with a 2x4 and bolt. Then I went to the bank and the post office and when I returned I at around 2:45 I was a bit tired still from my physical therapy on Monday, so I decided to rest instead of riding my bike.
Suzette picked me up at 4:00 and we went to Jim’s home to go over the final drawings.
We returned around 6:00 so I drank a cup of hot chocolate with coffee and rum and ate a piece of Swedish hard bread smeared with butter and covered with slices of Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese.
Todd had a flat and arrived a ½ hour late so we meditated from about 7:00 until 7:45. We decided to grill the last of the ground beef in hamburger patties and eat the beans we had cooked and to steam the green beans I bought at Sprouts last week. After I snapped the green beans and formed the hamburgers and the green beans were cooking I decided to sauté the steamed green beans with some beech mushrooms with butter, olive oil, a dash of chervil, and ½ of a shallot left from lunch that I diced. After the vegetables softened I added a liberal splash of Amontillado sherry and turned down the heat to create a light sauce. I sliced three slices of Stilton cheese to melt on the hamburgers, because we like to melt a piece of blue cheese on our hamburgers to create a sort of glaze and sauce
for the hamburger.
I also decided to try the bottle of 2011 Cotes du Boutg I found in the wine cellar a few days ago. Suzette had several calls during this period , which made the cooking a little disjointed, but by 8:30 we accomplished the cooking and I opened and poured two glasses of the red wine.
Suzette got me to reach to the top shelf to fetch two small Frankoma greenware bowls, which she filled with beans and placed on our plates with the green bean and mushroom medley and the blue cheese glazed hamburger.
I found the wine to be well made and smooth but it had little character in Suzette’s opinion. So we will not buy another bottle of it, if I ever see another.
We watched some news and got to see Roger Stone give a big Nixon wave on his way out of court after being indicted on seven counts including lying to Congress and suborning perjury testimony. As I watched I had an awful feeling of déjà vu that our country was going through another episode of political tricks to gain control of the government and we were forced to re-live the watergate era, except worse if it is proven that the actors in this episode were acting in concert with the Russians.
By. 9:15 we were on our way to bed. I blogged a bit and then went to sleep by 10:00.
Another day that confirmed that you can eat a healthy tasty dinner in the midst of a busy schedule of activity.
Bon Appetit
