Ahh, summertime when veggies are fresh and you really don’t want to eat hot food anyway, right? Right. So I made this lovely Lemon-Dill Salmon Pasta Salad with Cucumbers and Peas for lunch. Made it up on the fly as I had salmon for dinner last night. In the end, it turned out to be more “northern” influenced… these flavours remind me of Scandinavia, though I doubt this would be authentically Swedish or Norwegian. At any rate, it *is* delicious. I have plenty of leftovers so it may turn into dinner as well as lunch.

I’ve gotten to thinking that Superbowl Sunday is also “official chili making day”. There seem to be a lot of Chili Cook-offs on Superbowl Sunday and per people who poll these sorts of things, it is in the top 4 or 5 “Superbowl Foods”. It makes for flexible meal times, eat when you like and can feed a crowd. This particular version uses boneless beef shortribs and after the 3+ hour braise, is melt-in-your mouth tender. It you are in to chili variations, this is definitely one to try!
Today’s foodie theme is a Superbowl Challenge! I decided to come up with two savory and two sweet things that symbolize the (Northeast) New England Patriots and the (So Cal) Los Angeles Rams. Thiis wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be because … well, evidently I know very little about what is “typical” food in LA. For the “savory component for The Southern Left Coast, I decided to go with Fish Tacos with Quick Pickled Toppings, Cabbage, Avocado and Cilantro. Yummy but a total pain in the neck to eat!
