June 18, 2025 Breakfast - Bagel and Gravad Lax  Lunch - Salami Salad Dinner - Potato Salad and Brat Salad

I had a restful day today. I did almost no legal work. Instead I read Diva and typed Book Club Discussion notes from the last meeting.

St 7:30 I toasted a bagel and spread it with cream cheese and garnished it with slices of red onion, Gravad lax, and capers.

The old Gravad lax is going bad, so after dinner we prepared a new batch of Gravad lax.

The market was going up nicely until someone asked Fed Director Jerome Powell if he was predicting higher inflation in the near term. When he said yes the air went out of the rally and the Dow went negative and the NASDAQ lost most of its positive momentum. I had a small .4% gain.

At 12:00 I picked a bag of lettuce from the garden and made a salad with sliced cucumber, a diced tomato, and several slices of red onion. Imade a simple dressing of Spanish Sherry vinegar, olive oil, German deli mustard, and garlic and tarragon from our garden.

I also toasted two slices of French baguette and melted slices of Jarlsberg cheese on them.

After lunch at 1:30 I drove to my dermatology appointment and after the appointment I drove to Walmart and bought a bottle of herring in wine sauce.

Then I drove home and refrigerated the 12 pack of Carlsberg 16 oz. Cans that I had left in the car.

 I rested from 2:30 to 3:45 and then at 4:00 watched the news.

Suzette went to her physical therapy appointment at 5::00 and returned at 6:30.

We decided to slice and heat the remaining two brats from Sunday brunch with the remaining potato salad and serve it on a bed of lettuce from our garden.

The salad was lovely.

We watched Walking With Dinosaurs from 7:00 until 9:00, although Suzette went to bed at 8:30.

I went to bed at 9:30 after eating two slices of fruit cake.

It was a pleasant relaxing day that allowed my muscles to recover.

Bon Appetit
