September 19, 2015. Lunch – BLT and cucumber and onion salad, Dinner – Japanese Kitchen
Suzette walked and I rode this morning. Then we went to the Farmers’ Market where Suzette bought pears and apples to use for next year’s June dinner. We also got some yellow squash for a future dinner and saw lovely large slicing tomatoes. We bought a green one and a red one with the thought of making a BLT sandwich when we returned home.
When we returned home Suzette made BLTs while I peeled and diced the Armenian, the lemon, and the green cucumber Suzette had bought at last week’s Farmers’ Market. I the added one small red onion and doused the onion and cucumber mixture with Aji Mirin and brown rice vinegar. When the sandwiches and salad were ready we made plated and ate our lunch by the pond in the garden.
I rested much of the afternoon while Suzette helped get stuff for the house and Jose to use to paint and install floorboards in the laundry room.
Around 3:00 we cleaned out the hot tub and re-filed it with water and fresh bromine.
We had a snack of guacamole at 4:30 and then rested until 6:45 when we got ready for dinner.
Robert Mueller and his wife, Marilyn Miller, invited us to dinner at 7:30 at Japanese Kitchen, which is Robert’s favorite sushi restaurant. We go eat sushi occasionally and whenever it is his picked go there.
Suzette ordered a dragon roll made with Unagi with eyes and long antennae. Marilyn also ordered a roll, but Robert and I ordered our usual Chirashi for $24.00.
The Chirashi came with a wide assortment of seafood this evening, including red snapper, albacore tuna, three pieces of tuna, yellow tail, squid, sea clam, scallop, octopus, Mahi Mahi, salmon, lots of shredded daikon, a bed of rice in a second bowl with salmon eggs, flying fish eggs,mand pickles and a grilled piece of Unagi, two slices of omelet, and a few other fish. It took me over an hour to eat it all as we discussed Robert and Marilyn’s impending trip to Paris.
At 10:00 we said goodnight and went home and enjoyed a dip in the hot tub and then a bit of Saturday Night Live.
Bon Appetit
