Well thank you so much
7sixtwoX3nine!
I'm delighted you found us, and as per my invite earlier, you are of course welcome indeed!!! Looks by your photo that you are a vino fan indeed! And did I read correctly that you make wine as well?
Regardless, feel free to start threads here, post in any of them, share photos, videos or words, and so forth! We have a lot of fun!
As for the birthday itself, it was lovely! I started with raw oysters and raw clams (which I gulp down with just freshly ground black pepper atop them and nothing else)...
and as I was shucking and gorging along, I slowed down long enough to take a quickie photo of a few anyway...
I love the raw clams the best, although the oysters are always good too!
And then I moved onto a perfectly grilled camel burger, (cold in the middle the way I like and yet seared well on the outer edges),
And then the following day it was simple grilled octopus over salad...
And then yesterday was a very quickie and simple grilled halibut steak over salad (I prefer halibut STEAK to fillet for some reason as it tastes so much better with the bones and all in it)!
The fish DID look all whole, pointy and nice, although I cut a good chunk off for my dogs' portion and thus the photo is a little funny...
Still healthful and delicious though!
And then today's dinner was just a plate of gluten-free spaghetti...
With steamed New Zealand Green Lip Mussels, sliced strawberries, chopped raw elephant garlic, chopped fresh basil...
And lots of Tunisian Olive Oil and then freshly ground black pepper and pink Himalayan sea salt...
And that was lovely!
And while some whole sardines - delicious heads and all - are on deck for grilling this weekend sometime, it must be time to smoke something again too and so here's to me doing that soon as well!
Meanwhile, I'm going without wine for 9 more days, and while I don't get the allure yet, I admire those who seem to do that all week regularly and so I'm trying it this one time as to see what happens???
OK, Cheers to all! Thanks for sharing in my simple but healthful food fun!
And welcome again,
Sir 7sixtwoX3nine, and thank you for the birthday wishes indeed!
Happy Thursday to all! Cheers!!!!!! - Leah
