Staying In and Chowing Down

Look at this! Bob really outdid himself. I think it was one of the best dinners Bob has ever put together, and that's saying something as he's a superb cook. The salmon was wonderful, broiled and delicately marinated in a tablespoon or so of soy sauce... skin side up. Then garnished with lime slices and capersand parsley. Boy was that good!
It was accompanied by homemade macaroni and cheese and escarole cooked with garlic and a bit of asparagus and these tiny shivers of shredded carrots for color and contrast then sauteed. It was such an amazing combination with a terrific balance of sweet to savory to bitter. Perfection!
We had leftovers for dinner tonight and it was every bit as good.
As a matter of fact, how could you improve on the day? It was sunny and over fifty degrees. I beg to compare it to last year, when the second of January already featured several feet of snow and biting cold... stay tuned for how we celebrate the first anniversary of our January 3rd real estate closing.
