May 10, 2015 Lax and bagels for breakfast Dinner – Grilled steak, twice cooked potatoes
and steamed asparagus.
We started
the day with by eating the last of the lax with a couple of bagels and cream
cheese.
sliced salmon, tomatoes, and onions, with capers and bagels |
Then starting
at 11:00 we gardened for an hour, planting, tomatoes and eggplants.
We then took
boxes of bottles to the recycling center and then bought more plants at Home
Depot’s Mother’s Day sale on bedding plants at $2.50 for each 4“ pot . Then we went shopping at Costco, buying White
Fish salad, a white dry writing board, paper towels, and ketchup and pickle relish.
After all the activities of late, we really
enjoyed having a regular Sunday with the usual mix of activities.
I had thawed
out a steak yesterday. Unfortunately, it turned out
to be an un-aged steak. Un-aged beef has
a more granular texture and lacks the rich density and tenderness of aged beef.
Suzette turned the baked potatoes from
last night’s baking with the acorn squash into twice cooked potatoes with the
addition of butter, half and half, and sour cream and some chive slices.
I made
steamed asparagus while Suzette was prepping the twice cooked potatoes.
We wanted a
good wine so I went to the cellar and fetched one of the newly arrived bottles
of 2010 Wellington Mohrhart Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon’s, which was delicious
with a delicate finish that I love. Next time though, I will select one that has spent a little more aging time in the cellar.
After dinner
I drank an extra glass of the wine with a piece of buttered French bread and some
brie cheese; lovely.
Bon Appétit
