Strawberry shortcake

Salade nicoise.

Been ages since I've even SEEN one! (Salade Nicoise, that is.)

That was my usual lunch when I lived briefly in Paris. I make it occasionally now, but it’s pretty time intensive.

Shad fishing on the Columbia River. Carried the roe back in a sealed cooler with freezer packs on a flight this morning.

I'm sure you enjoyed that meal immensely.

Was a bit concerned because flight was delayed leaving Portland PDX about 4 hours but now issues with the well-packed cooler.

Bowl of ice cream with raspberries later.

Good Evening

yesterday. Turned out great, few ingredients and half a dozen spices. I might need fresher spices for next time, but I'll try it again.

with bacon, cherry tomatoes, and spinach. I think I will use either celantani or rotini pasta for a change.

My vegetarian daughter is away for ten days so I'm eating some real red meat for a change. Yeehaw..
Ordinarily I'm a Pollo-pescatarian anyway but once in a while I want to revisit red meat.
