March 30, 2025 Snack - Chocolate Croissant and tea. Brunch - Sautéed Salmon filets with on Sautéed Roasted Vegetables with Tartare Sauce. Dinner - Costco Roasted Chicken with salad

It was a lovely day of food.

I ate a chocolate croissant and drank a cup of tea at 8:00as I watched the Sunday news shows.

An early snack boosts my energy that makes the day go much more smoothly.

Then at 11:00 we made brunch. Suzette sautéed the roasted vegetables in one skillet and two salmon filets in another one. I made tartare sauce. We drank glasses of the open Albariño that we bought at Kokoman that was obviously fermented on the lies. I added three slices of toasted baguette to get a few carbs. It was a perfect lunch, even more so because we ate under the gazebo by the pond. 

For sone inexplicable reason I took no photos of the two excellent meals today.

At 12:30 we each went to our respective desks and worked for several hours.

At 2:45 I took a 1 hour nap and then went to Costco for my 4:45 appointment at the hearing aid department where I learned how to change the small orifice that transmits the sound into the ear.

After my appointment I bought two bottles of Cotes Du Rhone, two bottles of Rioja Reserva and one bottle of Pinot Grigio and a roasted chicken.

When I arrived home we decided to eat dinner.  Suzette made a salad with lettuce, carrot and radish slices and I added about a dozen cherry tomatoes cut in half and shaved a few thin slices of red onion. We threw out the resident dressing that was moldy on the cap and Suzette made a simple balsamic and olive oil dressing.

I opened a bottle of Oyster Bay New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and tore the hind quarters off the chicken. I was amazed how juicy and tender the chicken was and its skin had been rubbed with a flavorful spice rub.

We enjoyed our simple dinner.

After dinner Suzette drank another glass of Sauvignon Blanc and I drank a sip of Calvados and a cup of tea, as we watched a Netflix movie about an Australian sheep station and winery titled A Perfect Pairing and then on Amazon Prime a Diane Keeton and Jeremy Irons Movie titled Love, Weddings, and other Disasters.

Suzette went to bed at 9:45 and I stayed up to watch Paris Murders until 11:00 with another cup of tea and a blueberry fig Newton.  At 11:00h I blogged and then went to bed.

I am amazed how we are able to make interesting elegant meals with our dwindling supply of ingredients. Tomorrow I will make a tabouli salad for lunch and we will make a pasta dish with chicken, zucchini, and mushrooms for dinner. Amazing.

Then off to Argentina Tuesday morning.

Bon Appetit
