What did you eat today?

[shootingstar]

Yesterday at home after a 42 km. bike ride, the Thanksgiving dinner was:

seared bison marinated in soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger root with sasktoonberry sauce. Served over sautéed fennel bulb. Squash-potato gnocchi on the side that he made. Saskatoonberry wine. Then we had each slightly smashed (from a bike ride) tartlets for dessert. (Turkey is not really part of either his or mine tradition at all. We like it when other people make turkey. )


Today --another extension of Thanksgiving weekend:

B- cornflakes with plain yogurt dollop, a huge dollop of homemade plum-peach-wine compote and milk, tea with milk. Added in half eaten small chocolate biscotti

Then we went for 65 km. bike ride with some short hills all over in a large river valley park area where I seldom go since am unfamiliar. Midway during ride and fabulous fall colours, we stopped for lunch at restaurant.

Brunch- smoked salmon eggs benedict over light cornbread with capers, lemon sauce. (last time I had eggs benedict was over 6 months ago) Orange juice with sparkling wine. Small beignets (French for donut) with wine whipped cream and strawberry coulis sauce for dipping. Coffee with milk.

Supper - a bison sausage with saskatoonberries, fresh tomato slices with boccocini cheese and fresh herbs. Tea with coffee. Half of a small pumpkin-fig tartlet.

Maybe because the temperatures were 5-10 degrees C throughout the day, I burned off more energy than expected. Or maybe I was unfit. Doesn't matter much. A lovely Sunday of special meals and great scenic cycling.
