It's Farmers' Market day today. We're hoping to get there, not that we need much this time. We still have plenty in the freezer & I seem to be having an urge for chicken, fish & veg, none of which are particularly well done at our market. Still I am hoping for some smoked salmon from the local smokehouse, some sausages from our usual source. I may even buy some lamb from there. Our usual salt march lamb man will not be there this month unfortunately. We do prefer that meat.
After that, on Farmers' Market day, we've taken to popping down to our local village pub & having a spot of lunch - a meal we don't usually indulge in but once in a while is a real pleasure, a bit of a treat. It will be just a snack.
This evening I'm planning on making some smoked salmon souffles. I don't often make souffles these days. I used to make them several times a week but they are a bit faffy & can't really be prepared in advance.
I may even use the new saucepans we bought yesterday. We finally decided new pans were needed. I'm quite happy with our old cast iron ones, but, since his stroke, the Fox is having difficulty with their weight, especially if they are full of food or hot liquids. His left hand remains weak & doesn't seem to be improving much. Besides the cast iron pans can't go in the dishwasher & now we use that device more it seems a pity not to be able to do the pans in it.
Yesterdays Thai green curry was fabulous, a real hit - hot & spicy, at the same time creamy. The Chilean torrontes wine we had was the perfect accompaniment. The one enhanced the other & vice versa.
