May 4, 2026 Breakfast - Bagel and Lax Lunch - Duck Salad Dinner - Leftover Stir Fried Chinese Broccoli and Rice and a salmon spread and avocado sandwich
I awakened at 6:30 and toasted two halves of a bagel and spread them with cream cheese and then garnished them with slices of red onion and Gravad lax and drank two cups of Earl Grey tea with them and then edited my reply again until 1:30, when I made a salad of romaine lettuce, a diced Belgium endive, a few grape tomatoes halved, two radishes sliced, Kalamata olives, a hard boiled egg diced, and the last few oz.s of roasted duck heated. I melted slices of Brie cheese on two slices of toasted baguette and made my favorite Dijonnaise dressing with minced fresh tarragon and thyme from the garden and a clove of garlic plus lemon juice, red wine and Spanish olive oil.
I also drank a glass of Spanish Mencia.diluted with ice cubes.
I ate half of the salad and then watched Everton beat Man City in a PL match and dozed until Suzette arrived at 3:30. Suzette ate some beans with a leftover lamb ribblet while I finished my salad.
Suzette then lay down and I finished editing my reply and then drove to El Super and bought, milk, green beans, sweet potatoes, chicken thighs, and mango yogurt. Produce is increasing in price. Many items have already doubled and I suspect more increases in the near future.
Perhaps the future has arrived in the stock market. Today oil went up and the Dow dropped 557 points and my portfolio dropped another .8% in value.
When I returned home neither of us wanted to cook, so Suzette ate avocado toast for dinner and I heated some leftover Chinese Broccoli and rice and spread Swedish salmon spread on a piece of buttered toast and garnished it with slices of avocado.
We watched The Antiques Roadshow and then Suzette went to bed.
I stayed up until 11:00 watching the Ken Burns American Revolution series and then Rachel Maddow and ate the last chocolate chip cookie.
In bed I blogged this entry.
Bon Appetit
