3 square meals a day


A day at the lake goes like this...

Wake up early and walk 9 holes of golf with your husband (great way to compromise-- I 'play' golf with him & he walks with me :) Then comes breakfast... poached eggs, smoked salmon, avocado, tomatoes, goat cheese, chives, and toast. Back outside for some more fun in the sun... paddle boarding with the pups! They loved it!! Back to the house for lunch... spicy tuna (1 can tuna + 1 tsp mayo + Franks red hot + chopped carrot, celery or cucumber) with salt and vinegar pop chips and a few stuffed mini peppers. Then comes the lounging... reading, watching movies and golf. Dinner time rolls around and Adam makes his best ever miso cod (recipe can be found back in the September archive but the truth is it's always evolving), vegetable soup, and salad.  These are summer days. My favorite.

Coleslaw


Last month we were in Denver for my brother-in-law's law school graduation. When we arrived he was BBQing, of course, and I discovered his famous coleslaw. Now that I've gotten the recipe from him and made it myself, I wanted to share.... thanks Ben!

1 green cabbage
1 purple cabbage
carrots to your liking (grated)
green onions to your liking (finely chopped)

Dressing
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 TBS sugar
1 TBS salt
1 tsp pepper
6 dashes tabasco

Mix the dressing in a separate bowl with a whisk, then pour over slaw. I highly recommend chopping your own cabbage instead of buying the packaged kind but I understand if you are in a hurry :) Such a delicious lake or summer side dish!

Mr. & Mrs. Bund

Adam and I were fortunate to go to Shanghai for a work trip and it just so happens we also ate at the 7th best restaurant in Asia thanks to my cousin Andrew who recommended it! Mr. and Mrs. Bund was one of those WOW meals and if you're in the area, we highly recommend it :) Amazing flavors, unique presentation, and a breathtaking view of the city to boot.
