She'd baked a salmon filet as she waited for me to get out of a
meeting that ended too late. I only had to make a cole slaw and chop
some tomatoes and avocado. Bless her.

Do you get tired of cole slaw and avocado so often?

D and I literally passed on the street. She was heading to work; I
was on my way home. She flagged me down to say there's fish in the
fridge. And lo, there was!

Very nice... but I think that's gone better on the blue plate for better
contrast with the pink salmon and red tomatoes. :-)

What is the sauce?

That looks delicious, Michael! What's in the sauce on the salmon?

Uh, *please* buy a white plate sometime. :-)

Or black...

One of the guys on abf has these 6 sided black plates that are just
GORgeous presentation.

I often use my crystal plates on top of my black stovetop to photograph.

Apparently not. :-) I could eat those frequently, too. But, then, there
are many things I could eat frequently. :-)

There have been posts, I think in this group, about household servants
who had a clause in their contracts that they wouldn't be served lobster
more than X times per Y period. I was reading a Jeff Smith book (the
Frugal Gourmet) that back then, 30 and 40 pound lobsters weren't
uncommon, and they were perfectly tender. Nowadays, 3 pounds is big.

Anyway, under salmon, household servants also had clauses that said that
they wouldn't be served salmon more than twice a day!

It was what was available tonight. I was too tired after work to get
anything at the store since I didn't get off till about 6:20 or so.

Suggestions?

If someone would cut/chop the cole slaw for me, I'd have it everyday. I
could eat avocado everyday, too. As a matter of fact, I'm making myself
hungry, but it's bed-time.

My grandfather ate cabbage every day. Well almost every day. He said
it was good for you. He was in his 90s when he died.

Yeah, sure. Thank her again and give her a nice kiss. Tell her she's
the best wife you've ever had. On second thought, skip that last
sentence.

Well, screw it! You deserve it, I'm sure.

I watched Rachel Ray last night on tv making the rounds of the
ballparks. It made me hungry. It's 11PM, and my wife comes home to
find me fixing a couple of hot dogs. Yellow mustard, cheese, red onion,
sauerkraut and chopped jalapenos (leftover from dinner, I got lots of
use out of those).

At least he doesn't get blue highlights on his food! I had to retake a
bunch of photos for a cookbook last year because pork etc, doesn't look
so tasty when it glows blue.
I finally bought a big square white plate and a small one. Never use
them, but just photograph on them. Red would have looked bad in my
kitchen, otherwise ....

One man's trash is another mans treasure.

Crawfish comes to mind, as does blue crab.

I won't buy blue crab even tho' it's cheap.
While tasty, it's so small it's too much work for too little reward.

I get dungeness whenever I can and lately, FF has been the same price as
snow crab.

The snow crab here has sucked lately. Not sure what the deal is.
It's all dry, even if I just thaw it and pick it without re-heating so I
know I'm not ruining it with over-cooking! It's all pre-cooked anyway.

Fresh green salad. Just a bit of lettuce and maybe some grated carrot to
go with the tomato and avocado. Celery sticks are cool too if you want a
cold salad.

Artichokes, any variety of summer squash, Endive, chinese cabbage,
broccoli, cauliflower, baby spinach leaves raw or steamed, fresh steamed
string beans...

There are a number of low carb options. :-)
