Breakfast was two Krispy Kreme doughnuts that Gretchen’s sister picked up for us, a glass of orange juice, and two cups of coffee.
Lunch was a bowl of spilt pea soup and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
We took a break this afternoon and I had another Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Dinner was pan fried haddock, asparagus fried in bacon fat, and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Yes, the asparagus was amazing. Try it some time. Stop boiling that poor asparagus. Roast it if you must, but you have to try frying it. Grab as much asparagus as you would normally serve per person. Wash it and slice it on the diagonal into inch long pieces. In a large skillet over a medium heat, render the fat from one strip of bacon for each person you are serving. When crisp, remove the bacon to a paper towel and reserve for later. Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté until tender, but not mushy. You can accelerate the cooking by adding a lid to the skillet. When you serve it, crumble the reserved bacon over the asparagus. For an extra touch, top with some grated Parmesan cheese. Delicious!
