 August 23, 2020 Lunch – bagel, Lax and cream cheese. Dinner -Roasted Chicken with Steamed Broccoli, and Tomato Couscous

As often happens a heavy food day follows a light food day.  Today was a heavy food day.

I awakened at 6:30 and  walked 2/3 mile with one sugar pill.  Then I made tropical fruit salad with a pineapple, a papaya, two mangos, the juice of one lime, and one orange.  The fruit was sweet and so I made a granola, milk, yogurt, and fruit salad breakfast around 8:30.

I was still weak from my walk so at 10:00 I toasted a small whole wheat bagel, spread it with cream cheese, and garnished the two halves with thin slices of red onion, and Gravad Lax.

After the news shows we showered and dressed and went to Costco to purchase food the Center and s few items for us.

We then drove to HD so Suzette could get a few more items.

With the Highlander filled we drove to Willy’s so Suzette could take pictures of the leak in Willy’s bathroom. Willy informed me that the European championship was starting between Bayern Munich and Paris St. Germain.

We then went home and unloaded and I watched the match, which Bayern won.

At around 3:30 I started prepping a chicken for dinner. I went to the garden and picked six or seven sprigs of tarragon and slid it under the skin of the chicken and salted and peppered the chicken and roasted it for about 2 hours. 

We also roasted 6 large russet potatoes.

Suzette Steamed some broccoli and re-heated the tomato Couscous.  We opened a bottle of Picton Bay New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, whose light acidity and fruitiness was a perfect complement for the toast chicken.

The idea that prompted roast chicken is that a Suzette and I prefer dark meat, but prefer white meat for chicken salad.

So tonight we ate the dark meat and bagged the breasts that ,we will use to make chicken salad tomorrow.

After dinner Suzette fetched the Clafoutis from the garage.  Suzette heated two small bowls of Clafoutis and drizzled them with cream. For a lovely warm dessert.

.Bon Appetit
