Scott came by in the morning and we talked for several hours to discuss the case. It was nice to see someone. We ate bowls of Mapo Dofu and rice and pickled Japanese vegetables. We drank green tea and I ate two cookies with tea after the meal.
Then at 1:00 I toasted a French hard roll and spread mayo on each slice and laid slices of avocado and a little pile of chicken salad for a light lunch.
At 5:00 about the time Suzette came home I started making tabouli. I soaked about 1 cup of No. 2 bulgar in a pot of hot water for about 45 minutes and then drained it and put the drained bulgar in a large bowl. I then chopped three bunches of parsley, three bunches of green onions, about ¼ cup pickled cucumber and three diced tomatoes and added a tsp. of salt, 1/3 cup of olive oil, and juice of 2 lemons.
Suzette was tired so I brought in the pot of Vichyssoise and went to the garden and picked a small handful of chives and sliced them finely. We added about ¾ cup of heavy cream to the soup and Suzette filled soup bowls with soup that we garnished with chives.
While I was prepping the tabouli I had poured out the last glass of Aquino Chianti Reserva and we both nibbled on Jarlsberg cheese and I toasted and buttered slices of whole wheat dinner roll to lay my cheese on.
Salad - Suzette went to the compost pile that is filled with arugula and picked some and cleaned the leaves and lay them on a plate and added olive oil to the chicken salad to loosen it and create a dressing like consistency. Suzette then added a scoop of chicken salad to the plate of arugula for a light salad course.
I drank Chianti and Suzette drank Gruner Vetliner.
PWe went to bed early after watching some of the depressing news.
It looks like we are at or near a bottom of the market after a 35% precipitous drop in the last two weeks. The fourth circuit breaker was triggered today in the Market after another 7% drop, but the market began to recover later in the day.
What a ride!
Bon Appetit
