Good morning! We’re getting a bit more of a carnivorous start to the week than you may be used to here.
Yum.
P.S. Do you like my asparagus bouquet?
I’ve been eating a lot of salmon recently. Actually, the truth is that even when I went vegan, I had fish a few times, mostly in sushi because I juuust couldn’t resist. I love salmon, and I especially love ordering it at restaurants, where it tends to be the healthiest thing on the menu. The vegetarian options aren’t always the healthiest when you go to, say, a French or Italian restaurant. As much as I love some gnocchi in cream sauce, I can’t pretend to choose that “for health reasons” when there is a beautiful piece of healthy fish on the menu.
That’s how I came to try salmon with rhubarb sauce at the inn where our friends Bill and Aspen got married in May. The menu was small and meat-heavy, so I chose fish (although I did steal a bite of Nate’s lamb, mmmm. I love lamb!) The restaurant at the inn was so good; I would have loved to order every single thing on the menu. I think we did our share, though, ordering appetizers, main courses, and a dessert! I would show you a picture of that original salmon with rhubarb sauce… but romantic lighting, iPhone camera, and a plate of food – we all know how that story ends. I’d rather show you these photos instead.
