June 28, 2026 Breakfast - Pain au Chocolate. Snack - Almond Croissant. Lunch - Duck Salad  Dinner - BLT Sandwiches

We mostly rested today and prepared two pleasant meals.

I ate herring sandwiches with a cup of chai with collagen around 8:

Then we went to the garden and picked lettuce that Suzette freshened in a bowl of ice water. 

Then at 10:30 I lay down for a nap until Melissa came to see us at 11:00.  I ate a Le Quiche almond croissant with chai. Suzette and Melissa ate regular croissants with Bloody Marys.

Then after Melissa left, Suzette and I drove to Talin where we bought Bomba rice and a can of green pigeon peas for the paella.

We also bought Yu Choy, Rice Vermicelli noodles, shallots, brown beech mushrooms, and a package of small Spanish eggplants.

We then drove to Total Wine where we bought scotch, white vermouth, a bd a bottle of Guy Mousset Red Côtes du Rhône for a nickel for my birthday plus 12 packs of Negra, Modelo and Bohemia beer, a bottle of gin and a bottle of vodka.

When we returned home at 2:30 we made a duck salad thar was the best meal of the day. I deboned the remaining meat and skin from the pieces of duck left from our Friday lunch at East Ocean and Suzette baked the meat and skin in the oven. I diced a tomato and peeled, seeded, and diced 1/3 cucumber and put the diced pieces in a bowl. Suzette spun and added the lettuce and hard boiled five eggs and added egg slices and croutons to the salad and made a honey mustard dressing. We drank the last of the new bottle of Bandol rose we bought at Costco.

After a lovely lunch I rested and watched Canada beat South Africa in the first match of the knock out round of 32.

Then at 5:30 we decided to make BLT Sandwiches for dinner after we watched Miss Fisher. At 7:00 we fried four slices of the new thick bacon. I sliced four slices from the new loaf of whole-wheat bread and toasted them and Suzette spread them with mayonnaise.

I then sliced tomato slices and Suzette went to the garden and picked some fresh lettuce.

When the bacon was fried to brown and crisp we assembled our sandwiches and Suzette poured a Negra Modelo into two mugs that we shared.

We loved dinner.

After dinner we watched Patience, which is a British Copy of Astrid.

Then we watched Grantchester and then at 10:00 an episode of the real Astrid with two chocolates and a cognac.

At 11:00 I went to bed happy after two delicious meals.

Bon Appetit
