 September 12, 2020 Breakfast – Soft Boiled Eggs on Sausage and Toast with tomato slices  Lunch – Avocado Stuffed with Chicken Salad and Chicken Salad Sandwich. Dinner – Fish Chowder with Garlic Bread

I awakened at 5:30 to watch the Tour de France and the opening day of English Premier League.  

Suzette slept until 7:30.

At9:00 after Suzette had had her coffee we were hungry, so Suzette soft boiled 4 eggs and sautéed two patties of sausage while I sliced tomatoes and toasted and buttered bread for an interesting and light breakfast.

I kept watching the bike race and soccer until about 1:00 except for a break to tape shut eight boxes of Luke’s belongings, we intend to send to him now that he has a place in New York.

Suzette stitched the silk duvet cover closed and we covered the duvet and lay it on the bed, so we are ready for winter. The duvet is filled with silk cocoons and we bought the silk duvet and duvet cover and pillows all made from silk in China when we visited with Suzette’s parents about ten years ago.

We decided to eat chicken salad for lunch. We made chicken salad we made yesterday with celery, lettuce, red onion, basil mayonnaise, diced hard boiled eggs and roasted chicken breast.

For lunch I made a stuffed avocado salad with diced tomatoes for Suzette with the one good avocado half and cut the other damaged half into slices and made a chicken salad sandwich with slices of tomato, lettuce, avocado and chicken salad on Toasted German Whole wheat bread.  

We poured glasses of Martin Codax Spanish Albariño and took our lunches outside and ate in the garden.

We then took naps and at 4:00 when we awakened we walked ¾ mile around the neighborhood.

When we returned home we saw a Colores short on Bea Mandelman and decided to go to Taos next weekend to see the new exhibit at the Harwood.

I am glad I bought a work by her.

At 6:20 we started watching game four of Dallas v. Las Vegas in the Stanley Cup playoffs and during the breaks watched back yard make overs.

We decided to make fish chowder with the PPI red snapper, squash, spinach, and green beans.  Suzette added two shrimp, several scallops, and a piece of tuna plus white wine, water, and butter.  I diced and we added ½ white onion, ½ potato, a carrot, and several stalks of celery.

I made garlic bread by sautéing slices of French baguette in garlic, butter, and olive oil.  The warm garlic bread was really delicious with the fish stew.  This was a perfect conversion of a not very interesting leftover red snapper with squash into a new exciting fish stew.  

The result was a delicious fish stew.  We drank the rest of the Martin Codax Albariño with the stew.

We love converting leftovers into new exciting dishes.  That is why we consider leftovers previously prepared ingredients or PPIs.

Today we had two of them.  The roasted chicken that was used to make chicken salad and the red snapper that became the base for the fish stew/chowder.

Bon Appetit
