We had a special guest visit us this weekend, one who truly values good food and so Mike and I were determined to give him a little shock and awe. Originally we were considering an Asian dish but a morning trip to the Russian bakery changed it all (and no, I suppose the fact that it's a Russian ...
Several weeks ago at a surprise birthday party for my sister in law, Chris (yes, she turned 60!) I was discussing salmon with my niece Dee Dee and her father Bill. We have been fortunate to enjoy adventures in dining and hunting and fishing with Dee Dee and her husband Chris while they are here ...
