I awakened at 8:30 after a night when I could not get to sleep until 3:00.
I ate a bowl of tropical fruit salad, granola, and yogurt for breakfast.
At 12:30 I heated some PPI Mapo Dofu and Rice.
I did not have a nap today and worked until 4:00. At 4:30 I picked a couple dozen sugar snap peas from the garden.
Suzette came home at 5:00. We decided to steam the sugar snap peas with green beans and make a salad and heat PPI Roasted Purple potatoes to go with the grilled Halibut.
We had bought the fresh Halibut at Costco yesterday along with the fresh rockfish Suzette fried last night for fish tacos.
The package of Halibut fillets were actually one single wide slice of fish cut in half at the Center vertebrae. We decided to bone the two halves into four pieces by removed the central bones.
We froze the largest fillet and Suzette sliced a lemon into about six thin slices. She fetched the perforated vegetable grilling rack and cleaned and then lay slices of Lennon on the rack and then lay the three Halibut fillets on the lemon slices. Finally Suzette placed pads of butter in each crevice of the fish fillet and put the rack on the propane grill.
I made the salad. I rinse the lettuce from the Center plus four leaves of Bibb lettuce, plus a tomato diced, ¼ cucumber peeled, seeded, and sliced, some aged Manchego grated and two green onions sliced. I refreshed the dressing with lemon juice and olive oil. I put all the ingredients into the large Vietnamese mahogany salad bowl and drizzled the salad with dressing and tossed the salad to mix the salad dressing. I then steamed the green beans and sugar snap peas and heated the bag of PPI roasted purple potatoes in the microwave.
Willy arrived at 7:00.
When Suzette brought in the grilled Halibut fillets, we arranged the plates and I opened and poured the Adelina Spanish Verdejo and. Filled a bowl with ice cubes to cool the wine and the bottle and we took everything to the garden table. We enjoyed a pleasant dinner as the evening air began to cool.
After we finished the wine we returned to the house and I ate a bowl of pistachio almond ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce.
Later I gave Suzette a massage after she soaked in the hot tub for a while and then at 9:45 blogged this entry.
The meal was lovely. Fresh grilled Halibut on slices of lemon drizzled with melted butter is our favorite fish cooked the way we like it the best.
The light Verdejo lacked character so was perfect for the delicate texture of the Halibut.
Bon Appetit
