Garden patch

Logan picking radishes from our garden.
In our little garden patch this year...
3 kinds of tomatoes, mr. stripey (our favorite),
yellow pear, and red grape, dill, basil,
chives, oregano, beets,
radishes, carrots, tuscan kale,
along with some sunflowers
 and nasturtium (for the edible flowers)
The weather has been really nice,
so things are growing well.

Recipe to try

Pan seared salmon with
creamy leek sauce.
Doesn't this look delicious!
Plan to make asap.
Recipe here.

Pan Seared Salmon
with Creamy Leeks
•2 x 160-180 gram fillets of salmon
•Olive oil
•6-5 leeks, white and light green parts only,
sliced diagonally (about 2 cups sliced)
•1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
•1/4 cup cream
•Squeeze of lemon juice
•Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Heat a swirl of olive oil in a pan.
When the oil is hot add the leeks and sauté
 until they start to soften. Add the cream
 and let it bubble a bit until the leeks are tender,
 adding salt and pepper to taste.
Add the dill, toss, and take off the heat.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice and stir.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
Pan sear or grill salmon,
top with creamy leeks.

Taylor in his Forest Service uniform.
He is doing volunteer work
for his Uncle up in Flagstaff.
He looks happy.
Which makes me happy!
Stay strong Taylor!
