Pancake Breakfast

Although I’m not a purist like David Janes, I use Aunt Jemima pancake powder instead of mixing the batter from scratch, my basic technique for mixing and cooking come courtesy of his excellent Fat Tuesday parties, also served with a some bacon and breakfast sausage.

Salmon Steak – Experiment

A very large salmon steak, pan fried with spices that include fennel seed, and celery salt and seeds and of course salt and pepper, as an experiment the celery salt/seeds and fennel seed went very well with the salmon. Also some left over couscous and chick pea salad along with stir fried broccoli and a side of Mozzarella di Bufala salad.
