My Sunday Six
1. Made Heather_in_SF's cherry clafoutis. Really nice! Baked it in a pottery pie dish with fluted edges that I don't get to use very often.
2. Made DH brownies for Father's Day. (Liam supervised.) We've already dipped into them.
3. My dad and cousin from Alaska will be visiting on Tuesday so I'm trying to decide what to cook. Green chile enchiladas? Pork Satay kabobs? I'm going to make a fruit, yogurt, and cream mix for dessert from Pioneer Woman--fabulous for summer.
4. We're going out tonight for Father's Day. Normally going out to eat with my MIL is fraught because she never likes anything, but apparently likes this place...and it's not Olive Garden...must be the seventh sign of the apocalypse.
5. Made marinated flank steak the other night...so good. Will have the remainder in a salad with blueberries and blue cheese for lunch today.
6. We bought four steaks on sale but now I don't know when we're going to cook them...

That sounds like a perfect menu!
Sunday six
I was able to get both really good Alaskan sockeye salmon and halibut this week and didn't mind at all having fish two days in a row! The salmon came from the fish kiosk at Sams on Friday and halibut at Costco on Saturday. I've bought Alaskan salmon previously that had that dreaded fishy taste that means not so fresh. This was so fresh and good. Wish I could get both more often.
A young bobcat sat a few feet from the lanai and watched dh grill the salmon. Such a beautiful animal.
Publix was almost out of tonic again. I must live amongst an awful lot of gin/vodka and tonic drinkers.
I've decided I'd better not watch the movie, Food, Inc. I guess I'd rather not know. I do see some of my buying habits are changing as I become better informed. I'm just not sure how informed I can afford to become.
I'm missing the veggie stands that have closed for now. I may have to get up really early next Sunday and visit the Siesta Key farmer's market.
Dinner today is Epi's baby back ribs with espresso barbecue sauce, potato salad and fresh corn. Happy Father's Day to all the dads.

Hey Earnie...any chance that you've been eating fresh mangos lately?
I have to be very careful not to touch the sap on mangos, which are part of the poison oak family.
Not the pulp inside, but the sap from where the stem connected to the tree. Unfortunately, the fruits roll all over each other so sap gets everywhere.
My first indicator is my eyes swell up. Then I get hives.

How big was it, Ang? We had one a few weeks ago, it wasn't "big", but it was very close to us
and it really frightened me.
My poor daughter had never been in one (she's 2.5). A little bit after it stopped shaking, she looked at me and said "That's why we don't jump in the house!"

Curious, I agree with you about not knowing how informed one can afford to become,
and I love your gin and tonic comment. smileys/smile.gif
I always am amazed that FL's growing season ends so "early", I always think of it as being similar to ours here in CA. But then again, you all are getting tomatoes in March, right?
