July 20, 2015 Azuma for sushi, shopping for food, and dinner- aluminum  foil poached salmon with zucchini, mushrooms, and thyme and roasted corn and asparagus 

I ate my usual at Azuma today, chirashi donburi with tuna, ultra white tuna, Octopus, Salmon, and yellowtail.

After a great lunch I went to Fano’s and bought a warm baguette for $3.00.

Then I drove to Sprouts and bought four lbs. of Atlantic farm raised Salmon, some baby portobello mushrooms, an artichokes, some string beans, 6 ears of corn for $1.00, an 18 oz. container of blueberries, and several zucchini. The salmon was cut into three pieces; a one pound piece for dinner and two matched pieces for gravad lax.  

I drove home and I picked sprigs of dill and fennel and mixed the grave mixture of ½ cup sugar, 2/3 cup salt and1 tsp. of fresh ground black pepper.

We then made dinner.  Suzette decided to bake the salmon in aluminum foil on the grill.  She cut the salmon fillet in half and laid it in the foil with 1 zucchini quartered, mushrooms, shallot, thyme, butter, and white wine. She also grilled two ears of corn and asparagus.

We drank a bottle of the new Gruet rose I had bought at the Vine and Wine Society tasting at Las Golandrinas on the 4th of July.  The Rose was delicious and very fresh.  I highly recommend it, although the sales person recommended going to Gruet’s Winery on Pan American Hwy.

We ate Spumoni ice cream for dessert with lemon curd.

Bon Appetit
