and going down to the 30's tonight 
. Not ready for this! 
that has been aboard this boat for a long time, we will be having a feast!
Sirloin steaks, salmon filets, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots and cheesecake.
OMG!!!!
Thanks you two. I only wish you were here to share it with us.
That sounds so good. And you are very fortunate to have angels!
Mmmmmm, cheesecake.
Tonight I made a salmon salad. It was a big tossed salad and I accented it with endive. I baked salmon and cooled it, then cut it and tossed with the dressing, which I also mixed myself.
Dinner was early tonight, as I have to get out and protect my plants! Might get down to 40! 'Maters don't like those temps.
Mint chocolate for dessert. Thyme tea.
Cher
It looks so delicious. I might serve some of it raw - will taste test once defrosted.
40's! It's so hot here I feel like I am melting from the inside.
Especially the cheesecake...my favorite dessert! 
I think I am going to serve the salmon raw tonight. I found a great recipe and have done some research and I think it's exactly what should be done with it.
Then tomorrow I can do the steaks (were still frozen!) and the other fixings.
I sliced the salmon thin, made a soy/citrus dressing, poured some heated oil (including sesame oil) on it, then the dressing and at it right off the plate. Perfect.
And we inhaled the cheesecake.
Tonight, on to the steak and potatoes and carrots!
. Hope the rest is as good. Someone offered to get us some fresh fish in exchange for bread, but it's too darn hot to bake bread.
Dinner last night was great. I particularly liked those mashed potatoes - perfect. And we peacefully split the last piece of cheesecake.
So sorry you are not here to share this.
I am having tuna salad, tomato, avocado lettuce wraps. Another soccer night so has to be quick and easy.
There's a fall nip in the air, so chili and corn bread seemed like a good idea. Plus, chili makes great leftovers
