May 16, 2016 Lunch – Pork Egg Foo Young,  Dinner – Grilled Rack of Lamb and Sautéed Zucchini, Fiddlehead Ferns, and Corn

Walked this morning with Suzette around ponds.  Made breakfast of granola, blackberries, milk and yogurt that had a little mold in it.  Bad idea. Threw out the yogurt.

For lunch made an Egg Foo Young out of the PPI Stir Fried Pork and and vegetables and rice from Saturday’s Dinner by heating it in a wok and then adding an egg stirred with sweet soy, Chinese Cooking wine, and sesame oil.

Suzette wanted to cook the Fiddlehead Ferns, so she followed the instructions she saw on the Internet and washed them and then I sliced a zucchini and she blanched those in salt water, which yielded a lot of impurities.  Then I sliced the kernels off the PPI ear of corn from last night’s dinner and sliced a shallot and stir fried all those ingredients in my wok with some butter.  

When Suzette came in with the grilled rack of lamb the vegetables were still not cooked so she added a bit of water and covered the wok and turned up the heat to steam the vegetables.

In a few minutes the vegetables were ready and we had a wonderful dinner of lamb riblets laid on the vegetable medley. 

I opened a bottle of Cotes du Rhone Villages and fetched the mint jelly and we had a wonderful dinner watching the Antiques Roadshow, cheering every time the Center for Ageless Living ad showed before each show.  The Henri Morel Signargues is a blend of four grapes, so it has a well rounded texture (total Wine $14.99 less a 20% discount).  A wonderful bottle of wine for the money.

We ate some PPI clafoutis after dinner.  At 9:00 I became sleepy and went to bed.

It feels good to be back into a regular routine.

Bon Appetit
