June 6, 2025 Breakfast Granola with tropical fruit salad  Lunch - Le Quiche. Dinner - Scallop Chowder. 

A surprise lunch invitation offered a new dish at my second favorite French restaurant.

I woke up at 5:45 and finally filed my motion in the Court of Appeals around 7:00.

Then I watched the market open up and helped Suzette move the panes of colored glass to the patio and ate a bowl of granola with fruit salad I made last night with milk and mango yogurt.

At 9:50 while I was editing a report by Willy I walked to the bank and got money for Jody.

Then I talked to Aaron and he invited me to lunch at Le Quiche with Alex.

I stopped on my way to lunch and bought batteries for my TI calculator that I bought in 1964 as a freshman business math student 71 years ago and still use to calculate amortizations.

We arrived at the same time at 11:30.  Alex loves the sugar crepes on the breakfast menu, which are chocolate filled dusted with powdered sugar an stuffed with chocolate and served with a large dollop of whipped cream.

I saw a new dish, Boudin Blanc sausage served with sauerkraut, four fried potato wedges and a small cup of mustard. We enjoyed the dish and discussed the love of the French for this decidedly German food. Gauls and Goths were related back in the era of the Celts around 500 BCE.

This was a wonderful surprise to a good French meal so spontaneously.

After lunch I was tired and rested a few minutes and then at 2:00 I checked my portfolio after a very good day in the market when almost every stock went up and my portfolio went up 1.8% to regain 58% of its recent losses. 

At 3:00 I drove to have Willy’s car emission’s tested and when I returned I rested until 5:00.

Dinner - I then helped Suzette make the scallop chowder for dinner by dicing two previously baked potatoes, three scallions, three stalks of celery, and some tarragon, while Suzette halved about 1 1/2 lb. of sea scallops and cut the kernals off two ears of corn, diced three asparagus,  and chopped a handful of lemon thyme.

She then cooked the vegetables in butter and later added the scallops and leftover halibut from our meal at Le Troquet on Wednesday evening.

The chowder was the best I have ever had. The abundance of scallops was wonderful and all the ingredients were fresh and delicious except for the scallops that had been frozen.

I fetched a bottle of Albariño that bought at Costco with and after dinner as we watched game two of the Stanley Cup final. That ended in a tie at the end of regulation and went to a second overtime when Florida beat Edmonton.

Suzette went to bed at the end of regulation and I watched to the end and then blogged and went to bed.

Bon Appetit
