Last night's super supper was the new favorite of salmon croquettes, with the always-perfect and almost-magical chili-garlic-lime aïoli that was introduced to us by friends in Princeton. Tuscan-herbed roasted asparagus was also unmatched and the dinner felt like a culinary triumph.
It was my first day of 2024 to pull out the camp chair and enjoy some warm sunshine on the driveway, under those perfect Carolina blue skies. The 4.25-mile walk mid-day took me down through West Salem and back across to the Brookstown Area, before finishing by coming home through downtown and the Arts District. I could feel the strain to push myself after a less active winter season and was winded by the fourth mile.
