Sardine Cocktail

IMG_0793Blog

No, no disgusting alcoholic drink on the menu today. Just sardines in a cocktail glass! Served with pretzels for dipping

IMG_0791Blog

Even better the second day

IMG_0786Blog

On the side I made a big leafy salad topped with leftover squash, olive oil, salt and a drizzle of maple syrup and cinnamon

IMG_0789BlogIMG_0790Blog

Grapes on the side!

IMG_0784Blog

Staged on our beautiful sunny porch – thanks to skylights

IMG_0796Blog

And sliding doors!

IMG_0797Blog

After lunch I opened the Wilbur’s box of chocolates Lauren and Toly brought us last night – so much fun to eat little chips and not have to unwrap a single one! The dark are the best 😉

IMG_0798Blog

Just got these gorgeous pillow covers from Glamdesign on Etsy in the mail – can’t wait to brighten up the couch.

This morning’s activities: Bakery, BodyPump with Meredith, farmer’s market. I was planning to spend today developing a mushroom recipe for Jefferson Vineyards, but I decided to save that for a weekday. I have no trouble working on weekends, but I have a hard time relaxing on weekdays, so I’m saving it for Monday. Also – we have dinner plans and should probably plan to eat the mushrooms for dinner the night I make them!

Have a peaceful afternoon!

    Pretzels and sardines? Humm, if I want a first time experience with sardines where should I get them?

      I would get them at Whole Foods. The ones that are a bit more expensive do taste better. Or Trader Joe’s smoked herring -that is so good!

    Such cute chocolates! I’ve never seen ones like that–are they about the size of Hershey Kisses, or smaller?

      About the same size – slightly smaller

        They came before Hershey kisses and they are endlessly better! They are called buds.

          Wilbur’s are the best! I’ve been having those since I was little. They also sell mini chocolate chips, which I use when baking. Yum!

    Maple syrup in salad, hmmm sounds like something my husband would like.

    Mmm…sardines. Do you add anything to them or just east them as is from the can? Takes me back to my childhood when we’d eat them with mustard and saltines.

    So your porch isn’t screened in? Do you get mosquitoes where you are? Or is it an all-weather porch with breezes blowing? 🙂 Not sure about your cocktail – I like cosmos better!

      It will be screened in – it’s still under construction

    You just made me miss home! I lived in the town where Wilbur Buds are made and loved driving through town on the days when they were making the candies. The whole place smelled like chocolate. And I am glad someone else agrees that the dark ones are the best! I made my dad and stepmother bring me Wilbur Buds in June when they came down for my wedding. I savored each one 🙂

      Just olive oil and salt – and often honey

    Sardines are great! I like King Oscar Brand in virgin olive oil. Last time I had them I put them over tri-color pearl couscous, with sauteed spinach, kalamata olives and some pine nuts. Quick, easy, and delicious!

    Good for you saving your work for Monday. Some of us have trouble distinguishing work from home. It’s good to read about someone that has a healthy handle on that distinction.
