March 13, 2025 Lunch - Bologna and cheese sandwiches Dinner - PPI Trout cakes with Tartare Sauce and Couscous with sautéed green beans, mushrooms, shallot, and Spinach 

At 9:00 I ate the last of the granola with milk, yogurt, and green grapes.

I was in a brutal LRGA hearing from 9:30 until 12:30 with a 15 minute break at noon during which I made two Lebanon Bologna and cheese sandwiches with Mayo and mustard on Baguette with two dill pickles.

After the hearing I rested and talked to Henry until 4:15 when I walked around the block after being very depressed about the judge’s decisions.

As I left Suzette was arriving and I carried in an enamel casserole she had borrowed for the restaurant.

When I returned around 5:45 we started dinner.

Dinner - I destemmed some spinach as Suzette snapped the green beans I bought at El Super a few days ago.  I then slices three mushrooms and minced a shallot and two cloves of garlic and fetched the trout cakes.

While Suzette sautéed the vegetables, I made tartare sauce. The Suzette microwaved some PPI Couscous and the trout cakes and then plated those ingredients very attractively.

Suzette fetched the open bottle of good Pinot Grigio and filled two glasses and we sauced the trout cakes with tartare sauce and enjoyed a lovely dinner.

I lost more money in the stock market today, but did not check it.

Apparently the market dropped toward the end of the day when Trump said he was undeterred in his use of tarries and threatened a 200% tariff on EU alcoholic beverages.

The prime minister of Ontario met with the Administration to negotiate stopping Ontario’s threatened tariffs on hydro-electric power generated in Ontario and sold to the States of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

It will be interesting to see how Canada plays this card.
