February 16, 2021 Breakfast - PPI Oatmeal  Lunch – Sashimi and Sushi Rice  Dinner -  Cedar Board Grilled Teriyaki Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and PPI mixed Tomato Couscous and Rice

Today was a good food day.  I went to Sprouts yesterday and bought a salmon fillet and a tuna steak so today we had two meals with salmon.

 For lunch, I sliced about 6 oz. of salmon, a tuna steak, and two sea scallops into bite sized pieces.  I then sliced one-half of a piece of daikon into semi-circular slices, and filled dipping bowls with soy and wasabi and put some pickled ginger in a bowl.  We heated a pitcher with sake and I made I cup of sushi rice with 2 T. of sugar, 2 T. of rice vinegar, two cups of water, a tsp. of dehydrated dashi, and 1 cup of jasmine rice after the water boiled I added the rice and simmered it for thirty minutes.

The rice was a little wet but delicious.  

After lunch Suzette made a recipe of teriyaki sauce with 1/3 cup each of sake, soy, and aji mirin plus 1 T. of sugar heated to dissolve the sugar into solution.  She then poured the teriyaki sauce into a freezer bag with the 2 ½ lb. of salmon fillet and set it in the fridge to marinate.

At 6:00 we started cooking.  Dinner was easy. Suzette had soaked a cedar board in water and she put the teriyaki marinated salmon on the board and grilled it on the grill for about 20 minutes.

I deflowered a stalk of broccoli and put it in the steamer with water. Suzette mixed PPI tomato couscous with PPI rice and heated it in the microwave with a pad of butter and a bit of water covered with saran.     

 

I opened and poured a bottle of Cloe Pinot Grigio and we had a wonderful meal.  Suzette cooked the thin part of the salmon fillet separately from the thick portion because I love my salmon under cooked and Willy likes the salmon well cooked.

I called Billy today to make sure he had electricity and he did, so they are okay during this worst winter weather in Dallas ever.

The plumbers came yesterday to fix our boiler, so we are as snug as a bug in a rug.

 

After dinner, we watched Finding your roots and President Biden’s Town Hall and after Willy left at 8:00 Suzette fetched President Biden’s favorite ice cream Jenni’s Peanut butter chocolate chip, and we each had a bowl of it.

A fun day of food with lots of fresh fish.

 Bon Appetit
