October 25, 2022 Lunch - Potstickers and Seaweed Salad. Dinner - baked Norwegian Mackerel with Rice and Garden Greens

Another 2 meal day.  In the morning I finished reading Stayin’ On by Paul Scott.

At 2:00 I sautéed 9 Chicken and veggie Ling Ling potstickers in peanut oil with a dash of sesame oil.

I made a dipping sauce of garlic chili paste and soy sauce and ate them with a bowl of seaweed salad and a cup of green tea.

I drafted a motion in a case after lunch and finally rested from 4:00 to 5:00 when Suzette arrived.

At 5:30 we walked around the block and then started dinner.

Suzette picked a basket full of greens from the garden and I started a cup of rice. Then Suzette took over the cooking of the Mackerel and I de-stemmed the greens and cut them into bite sized pieces.

Suzette steamed the greens in the rice for its last ten minutes of cooking.

Suzette squeezed lemon on the mackerel and baked the two filets on a greased cookie sheet.

We opened a bottle of Vara Spanish Viura white wine that went perfectly with the baked fish.

We watched Finding your Roots and then La Brea.  

Suzette served Two slices of pumpkin bread garnished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.

The dinner was as good as any dish we have made lately in its simplicity and pure flavors of fresh baked fish on a bed of fresh steamed greens on a pile of rice.  A perfect dish, not unlike the famous three star Michelin restaurant in Lyon that serves sautéed salmon with a sorrel sauce. Fresh ingredients cooked superbly.

Bon Appetit
