Our neighbor Paul gave us some smoked salmon, so today Sandy made some pasta to accompany it.
Pandemic Cooking #4
Pandemic Cooking #3
I tried a new recipe for crispy pork belly. Unfortunately I overcooked the piggy as it was a bit tough. We gave that one to Chris & Tami, we kept the good one. The celery root & red cabbage was a great pairing.
Koa was really excited to see us… she got in trouble for that little incident.
Late September evening stroll
Sandy talked me into a evening stroll along the shore tonight.
Ball of Fire
Sandy alerted me to the sun as she went for her nightly walk.
Pandemic Cooking #2
Today Sandy bought a couple of Lamb Shanks so I wanted to replicate a dish we had in London. Ok actually things changed so we did a blending of 2 cultures. Sandy’s “Green” Persian Rice combined with my Indian Lamb Shanks and covered it with some puff pastry.
Pandemic Cooking #1
Seems like I all I do is work. The weekends we just stay indoors to watch bad movies and… cook. Tonight I made creamy cashew chicken curry, biryani & naan. We delivered a batch to the Yuen’s in trade for a loaf of Chris’s sourdough bread.
The visit was short but I did get to see dogmeat Koa. I really miss her.
Smoky sweltering days
We’re going through a heatwave here and it’s quite unpleasant. Even the burds are looking for shade. On top of that the smoke from all the fires are making the air horrible.
20 year Anniversary
Last weds marked our 20th year together. Normally we would be going out to a restaurant to celebrate… this year we ate sushi at Angel Fish (which we love). Not wanting risk the critical temperature degradation of driving home, we ate in the back of the car (grocery store dessert). It just wasn’t same, but at least we were together.
Phoebe Prankster
That adolescent Phoebe is is getting on my nerves. Good thing I checked the camera before I ran downstairs.
Yuen walk by…
Tami, Chris, Noah, Nico & Koa strolled by our lagoon and said, Hi.
I was amazed at how much the boys have grown and inversely how much Chris has shrunk (35lbs). Sadly old lady Koa didn’t recognize us from that distance.
