January 17, 2026 Breakfast - Granola. Lunch - composed Salad wit Smoked Trout. Dinner - Seared Poke Marinated Salmon filet with Rice and Steamed Broccoli

I started working on my motion at 7:30 and took a break at 8:30 to eat a bowl of granola, milk, blueberries and Greek yogurt

This was a day when both Suzette and I were hungry. At 11:30 Suzette assembled a beautifully composed salad that included thinly sliced cucumber, a whole hard boiled egg sliced into rounds, a pile of chunks of pickled beets, a pile of diced tomato, slices of red onion, a pile of diced avocado, several cold cooked green beans, and in the middle a pile of smoked trout on a bed of gourmet greens.  We drank glasses of Gavi Villa Sparina white.

I love most Gavi wines. This was no exception. I think I paid $15.00 for it at Costco this last week.  Here are some tasting notes.

The Villa Sparina Gavi 2023 is a crisp, refreshing Italian white wine from Piedmont, made from 100% Cortese grapes in the Gavi region, offering bright notes of peach, lemon, white flowers, and minerality, known for its freshness and food-friendly character, often with a clean, vibrant finish, perfect as an aperitif or with light dishes like fritto misto. 

It was delicious with the smoked grilled trout salad.

I watched Arsenal tie Nottingham Forest as I at lunch and sipped a glass of wine and watched the final few minutes.

Then I napped for about 40 minutes until I was awaken by a call from Icici bank in India.

I went back to work and worked until 5:30 when Suzette made dinner. She lightly grilled the salmon fillet she had marinated in the poke marinade she made yesterday. We also heated the last of the Mexican rice and steamed more broccoli. We drank the last of the Gavi Villa Sparina with dinner.

After dinner we were still hungry so Suzette made Bananas Foster and we served it over chocolate Cherry truffle ice cream. Finally we were no hungry.

We watched Denver winner it game against the Buffalo Bills and then we watched the Seattle v. San Francisco until Seattle was up 34 to 6 in the third quarterly

Suzette went to bed and I blogged and then read.

Suzette skplept 11 hours last night and may sleep 10 hours tonight.

She worked hard today cleaning a part of the  basement, hanging the onen properly, taking bottles to recycling and going to an estate sale.

Bon Appetit
