I spent years as a single mother cooking for an unappreciative audience. I shouldn't say unappreciative - just young people with an as yet uneducated palates. Now they are young adults. My son has become an excellent cook, surpassing my skills, so it was fun to invite him over to dinner and present him with this stuffed trout with mango cucumber dill salsa. The trout was stuffed with a mixture of spinach, portobello mushrooms and dill. It was a great success. Even he had little to offer in the way of suggestions for improvement.
The recipe came from a cookbook by Anne Lindsay. Accompaniment included 3 colours of new potatoes tossed with olive oil and dill and a stirfry of zucchini, 3 colours of peppers with garlic and rosemary. This was followed by a salad and then sorbet with fresh berries. Three day weekends make it so much easier to entertain!

July 18/10: Porgy and Bass
Title thanks to my daughter. She is a Gershwin fan.
Sometimes birthdays last a day, other times they extend over several days as one celebrates with friends and family. Tonight my family was all available so we went to a restaurant to enjoy good company, great food and some wine. Molivos is a Greek restaurant with great appetizers and fish that is grilled. There was a nice selection, A few of us shared porgy and bass (Mediterranean bass not endangered Chilean bass). No singing other than singing the praises of the wonderful food.
Daily Shoot: Find something that's out of context today, natural or staged, and make a photograph.( The lobster was live - walking over the fish.)

Day 344: Fish
Tropical fish in neon colours
you swim in your small box
looking out through the window
at a world so foreign
to your own
Stores flash their neon lights at you
pale imitations of your tropical hues
while on the other side
people dance to pulsing sounds
Can you find peace in your watery home?
Ignore the outside events
or does it invade your haven
bringing you the stresses
of the twenty-first century?
