It appears I have some catching up to do as well. Also, that blackberry yogurt looks amazing.

Fried egg ![](https://i.ibb.co/JqqMMyb/IMG-20240521-141250.jpg) Here is my egg, frying. ![](https://i.ibb.co/93n8w6T/IMG-20240521-141349.jpg) Here it is oozing proudly atop a bowl of pasta and pesto. I had this for my lunch today. It's been years since I've had a fried egg and I wasn't sure what to expect, but I enjoyed this. I will award my egg 8/13. Broiled Salmon with Salmon Ravioli in a Creamy Salmon Sauce ![](https://i.ibb.co/gSMPhLD/IMG-20240518-212513.jpg) This recipe is about as substitution heavy as it can get, but I did my best. The broiled salmon was actually marinated tofu, fried with broccoli and edemame beans. I used a vegetarian alternative to fish sauce to give it a sort of fishy taste. The samon ravioli contained neither salmon, nor ravioli. I filled pasta shells with a mixture of vegan smoked salmon from Squeaky Bean, and cream cheese. Finally for the creamy salmon sauce, I blended more of the vegan smoked salmon with yoghurt, cream cheese, water, lemon juice, a preserved lemon, seaweed, ground coriander, and snofrisk goats' cheese. I brought it to a boil, then let it simmer and thicken while I prepared the rest of the meal. I served this with leeks and avocado. Altogether, I was really pleased with this, especially the sauce. It tasted very nice, and pretty fishy too. Rating: 10.5/13 Edit: lmao I just reread my own menu and realised it was meant to be a salmon butter sauce. OH WELL. I'll try yo incorporate that into one of the other salmon dishes.

Aqueous Martini ![](https://i.ibb.co/5kHZtw9/IMG-20240521-200645.jpg) I didn't have a martini glass so I used a champagne flute instead. I've made this a couple of times before. As Violet observes, aqueous martinis taste like water with a hint of olive. The first few sips are fine, but as you get closer to the olive it becomes very unpleasant. I LOVE olives, but olive flavoured water is not nice. I was relieved to down the last of it and eat the olive itself, which did salvage matters somewhat. Rating: 4/13

Home made lemonade

This was nice, but I've made better lemonade in the past. This wasn't quite tangy enough for my taste -- maybe I added too much sugar, or perhaps the lemons just weren't the best. But still, I did enjoy it.
Rating: 9/13

That martini looks better than it probably tastes. I'll probably make mine with a black olive since I like those way better than the green ones, but it being combined with the water will probably still be gross though.

I made the sticky sweet and sour shrimp (ahem -- tofu, in my case), which I will post photos of soon. I also realise that it's now June so I must do another new menu. I'm banking on doing a LOT of catching up in July and August, when I am significantly less busy.

Ok, so I just made an aqueous martini with a black olive. Not as bad as I was expecting but still bad. 2/13.

I'm away until Tuesday but hopefully will get to post the new menu soonish. And also continue making meals! I have about three I've made which I've yet to post I think.

I am very behind with posting these again so here is a lot of food Scrambled Eggs ![](https://i.postimg.cc/7Lhcd77r/IMG-20240521-190341-1.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/7P0RFqCh/IMG-20240521-190750-1.jpg) I don't often make scrambled eggs because I prefer other egg preparation methods. I mixed in some yoghurt because I read somewhere that that makes them fluffy and I like the taste of yoghurt so what can go wrong. It did turn out quite nice, probably around a 9/13 We had them with pan fried Maultaschen (a southern German thing similar to a giant ravioli, we make my parents bring lots of them every time they visit), a lettuce and tomato salad with olive oil and vinegar, and a piece of lightly toasted rye bread, also imported by my parents. Salad including lettuce, tomato, creamy honey-mustard dressing, croutons ![](https://i.postimg.cc/jS7nX3gp/IMG-20240525-120450-1.jpg) I also added some cucumber, cheese (for me) and we put poached eggs on top but that was after taking the picture because otherwise you couldn't see much of the salad. The croutons were home made from leftover bread and they were the best thing about the whole salad. 10/13 Celery with clam dip or peanut butter ![](https://i.postimg.cc/hvNPQcBf/IMG-20240525-182127-1.jpg) I went with the peanut butter option because I don't know where to get clams. I like peanut butter, but I don't like celery. Combining the two is weird. It's like the celery sucks all the joy out of the peanut butter, but I appreciate how it has this sort of half pipe shape to put the peanut butter in. 5/13 A bag of candy/sweets ![](https://i.postimg.cc/02gzN02Z/IMG-20240525-155737-1.jpg) These are randoms, I don't know if you have them in other countries. There are chewey sweets with and without white foam, some with white foam and a soft filling and some made just of orange and pink foam. They are in random shapes, I remember eating a rainbow, a flower, a paw, a present and something that was either a moustache or a mouth. We ate them over a week or so but never remembered to take a picture of the actual sweets. The foam ones are the best and there are always hardly any of those in a pack. I don't like the orange ones and of course there is always lots of those. 9/13 Creamed spinach ![](https://i.postimg.cc/bNvBskCD/IMG-20240528-190207-1.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/kX1XbN7k/IMG-20240528-190802-1.jpg) I used cream cheese, which achieved a nice level of creaminess, and served the spinach with oven roasted chicken breast and pasta. The spinach worked really well with the pasta. 11/13

Second post because different book. We decided to not do these in order so we don't have the salmon things all at once, but then it looks like we forgot about doing the non-salmon things so we're a bit more behind than we would like to be. Creamy salmon soup ![](https://i.postimg.cc/tgzcskj6/IMG-20240604-192657-1.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/7hJXnMpm/IMG-20240604-192847-1.jpg) This is a Finnish salmon soup with potato, carrot, leek, lemon and dill. It was really nice and I think I'm going to make this again in the winter. 12/13 Chilled salmon salad ![](https://i.postimg.cc/76fjjzFT/IMG-20240609-125927-1.jpg) made with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, salmon of course, a yoghurt dressing and a bit of dill that was left from the soup. 11/13 Broiled salmon with salmon ravioli in a salmon butter sauce ![](https://i.postimg.cc/MTNgwTw3/IMG-20240616-132339-1.jpg) First I thought it seems silly to make a meal using the same ingredient three times, but then I realised they do things like this on Masterchef sometimes and it doesn't look silly there. I made a smoked salmon, spinach and ricotta filling for the ravioli, and for the sauce I used a lemon butter sauce recipe but put a salmon skin (which I cut off of the salmon piece before boiling) in at the start to get some of the flavour. I also added some asparagus because I felt the meal needed a vegetable. I have never made ravioli before and was a bit worried about getting it all wrong, but it wasn't that difficult and turned out really nice, so I want to do this more often with different fillings. The sauce didn't really taste like salmon but it was lovely and lemony. The broiled salmon didn't really do anything so I probably wouldn't bother with that again. 12/13

The samon ravioli contained neither salmon, nor ravioli.
