We have sparrow issues. The little brown birds have found my Swiss chard and they will not get out of it. It’s like a salad bar to them. Do they care if I chase them off? No. Do they care if I am sitting right there? No?\u00a0 They give me the stink eye and then, they just help themselves. They have punched holes in half of my gorgeous Swiss chard. I pulled up and tossed out an entire plant, so transformed from Swiss chard to Swiss cheese it was. I have to build a scare-sparrow.<\/p>\n

The sockeye are running – we were up at the Fish Ladder the other day and the numbers were small but the fish were big and gorgeous. There’s also fresh sockeye at Costco for 7.99\/pound – a good price. I could eat salmon every day, I think, so we were fine with buying a Costco sized package. In addition to Swiss chard, we have a lot of peas and I love peas and salmon on pasta. Because we have enough salmon, that’s on the menu for either lunch today or tomorrow, and yes, I will grill the salmon again.<\/p>\n

The chard, I sauteed in olive oil – stems first, they take a little longer – and then tossed in a can of organic tomatoes. This is one of my favorite ways to eat Swiss chard. The fish, I tossed in a little olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar, and tossed a few capers on top. All that went on a very hot grill. Simple, no fuss.<\/p>\n

Eat your fish, it’s good for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
