Yesterday had an early start as the delivery men for our new washer showed up at 7:40. That set me up for an early cuppa coffee and a trip to the market for a few baking supplies.
By 11:00 I had my high altitude-adjusted version of King Arthur Flour's London Fog tea cake in the oven. Then it would take another 90 minutes to cool down enough for glazing.
I took advantage of that time to hit the Co-op and snag some wild-caught salmon for dinner. Lemongrass, ginger, parsley (subbing for cilantro), and chili jam made up the remainder of the ingredient list.
By then it was time for Caro and I to deliver the tea cake slices and some flowers to Jane for her birthday. Between Caro's lingering cold and Jane's stomach upset, there wasn't much socializing, but I hear via txt that the tea cake was a success.
Dinner was one of Jamie Oliver's 15 minute meals, but our version took 75. Our wild rice / brown rice blend cooks slowly. I also roasted a head of cauliflower and served that over an easy remoulade sauce. Then the salmon patties took a quick 6 minute trip to a dry skillet. The raspberry-chili jam was the surprise ingredient that worked particularly well.
