HG is very fond of Quinoa, a crunchy, tasty grain. HG likes the way it sounds: KeenWah!! It is much healthier than rice and soaks up sauces with finesse. Last night, BSK bought two thick, fresh salmon filets at nearby (St. Peters) JuIio’s Fish Mart. Sadly, Juio’s closes on Sept.15. There will be oyster bargains on that last day so BSK will take advantage. Last night’s supper at HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island oceanfront home, was –as usual–delicious and comforting. BSK cooked the salmon perfectly—medium rare silkiness. HG finds salmon tasteless if cooked beyond that point. It is always served medium rare in Paris. Some years ago, HG/BSK were in Paris with HG’s beloved sister Beulah Naomi Katz and her husband, Daniel (both deceased and much missed). Dining at Le Vaudeville Brasserie, Beulah ordered salmon in sorrel sauce. After a few swallows, she exclaimed: “This is the best thing I ever ate!!”. She had never eaten properly cooked salmon before. BSK accompanied last night’s PEI salmon with a big mound of quinoa mixed with chopped spinach and garlic. Cooked with stock; enhanced with hot sauce and olive oil; topped with sour cream— the quinoa was a regal dish which alone would be a tasty supper or lunch (with a glass of Pinot Noir).
