Going 70s retro tonight with a classic spinach salad with hot bacon dressing served in a vintage teak bowl! The spinach was sown in my garden in October and overwintered! With 70s era inflation here these days, I figured I better find a way to make my spinach glut more fun to eat!

Mini edible garden in an old terra cotta pot! I have been experimenting with small space edibles this spring. Given the surge in gardening participants, I figure it’s good to explore how to grow things in pots for patios and balconies. Shown here is the Pot and Patio lettuce blend from @territorialseedcompany. I sowed the seeds right in the pot on April 29 and the lettuces are coming along nicely! Other experiments on deck? Mini Pot of Gold chard and container cucumbers! Plus a bunch of tomatoes!

Elephant garlic scapes! If left to bloom on my garlic, the garlic bulb would be stunted.so I snip these buds early on and then use the green stem, rich in garlic flavor, in simple stir fries, sautés or pan sauces! #garlic

Lupines bring an exercise in patience. I always loved my mom’s lupines when I was growing up but it wasn’t until January 2021 that I decided to sow some lupine seeds from the @dollartree in a milk jug. Wintersown successfully last year, I tucked the plants around my garden in Spring 2021. I was doubtful my 25 cent seed packet would produce much but I let the little buggers carry on through last summer. Now I am rewarded with a lupine bounty! Gardening is indeed an exercise in patience!

@copperriversalmon revisited for lunch! I purchased and cooked a very lovely piece of Copper River king salmon for dinner last night. Purchased @tandcmarkets, this first of the season Alaska salmon is a true taste memory and luxurious treat. I had about two ounces leftover from dinner last night, so taking the lead from an old French cookbook I have, I heated the salmon ever so gently in a small pan with water which takes off the chill but doesn’t cook the fish any further. I then broke it up a bit and nestled it on top of homegrown lettuces and some leftover minty peas. Leftovers fit for a king! #alaskasalmon #copperriversalmon #salmon #kingsalmon # sustainableseafood #seattle

I found a set of 1970s Gourmet Magazines @kathycaseychef cookbook sale in Ballard yesterday. While poking through the May 1970 issue this morning I chuckled at this ad from the CA Avocado Advisory Board touting avocado toast! Clearly ahead of the trend more than fifty years ago (or perhaps setting the trend), the ad explains avocados, bite for bite, have less than a fourth the calories of butter,margarine or mayo! They touted it as “the skinniest spread around”. Well, I will toast to that! #vintagecookbook #avocadotoast #gourmetmagazine #weightwatchers
