@mik looks lovely

We r pretty regular salmon eaters.

Accounts for most of our white wine consumption also.

Thanks, bach. I decided to go ahead and poach the rest of this enormous filet for Salmon Nicoise tonight. Love Nicoise salad. No olives, but I have capers which serve pretty much the same purpose.

Wonderful. Salmon is my favorite meat. Even better than steak, you heard me right. Butter and rosemary are my favorite ingredients. Fatty salmon please, not lean.

[Mik]

You'd like it here. Now I'm making salmon chowder with the leftover poaching liquid (that is delicious).

@mik Looks great! Can she taste it?

[Mik]

Yes. She says she has taste and smell back.

[brenda]

That's gorgeous, Mik. Yes, it's time to celebrate her return home. Good job!

[Mik]

Turned out great. She was very happy. So was Joe.

[Mik]

Nicoise salad turned out fantastic.

[Klaus]

That looks yummy!

Miks poached salmon and dill sauce.
With baked cauliflower and freshly made sourdough bread which I prepared

With a Sancerre for a touch of elegance from the Loire valley.

A feast for kings.

Lovely Monday night dinner.

[Mik]

Sancerre is the perfect choice. Looks wonderful.
