Sorry, should have clarified that the ikura and masago are the closest I get to caviar... it's hideously expensive here (the cheapest I've found are small tins at a russian supermarket and those are $50/tin)... and I can't justify the splurge, especially if I don't like the flavour (having never tried it...

I think I'd need more than one to wash down vegan cheese 
.
Last night, we tried the first of our Sitka Salmon Shares delivery - signed up through the end of the year thanks to chgoeditor's good reviews. We made the sauteed sablefish over tomato-saffron broth, with mushrooms and blistered cherry tomatoes, from the Sitka website. Very good, and the sablefish was high quality. We have a few more sablefish fillets and some halibut from our first delivery. So far very pleased with our purchase! Seems like a good way to ensure we're eating a good quality fish once a week.

My sister is down from Mass. for the week. She brought her husband, daughter and granddaughter. They are here to visit her daughter’s father’s family (long complicated story). She invited us to meet them this afternoon. We are gathering at Asheville Pizza and Brewing company, one of my favorite places. I will probably order a 12” with vegan cheese, bell peppers and sausage. There’s a hazy IPA on the menu I haven’t tried yet, so that’s probably gonna wash my pizza down.

I was spared. ABC was closed so we gathered at the Wicked Weed Funkatorium up the street. I wasn’t really hungry anyway so just ate chips off Mrs BV’s plate. I had a flight of barrel aged sours.
I am lactose intolerant and don’t have 100% success with lactase pills. So I err on the side of caution ordering non-dairy cheese when I’m out. I’m no vegan. I love meat as well as aged cheeses. Daiya is not a favorite, but I didn’t have many choices I could live with. I would never eat the stuff at home.

All fake cheese is not the same. I eat the Follow Your Heart brand at home in sandwiches. It’s made from coconut oil, potato and corn starches. It’s not a bad smoked Gouda substitute. The big problem with all of it is it doesn’t easily melt. But the truth is I wouldn’t eat any of it if I didn’t have a problem with lactose.

Pulled pork nachos tonight. The pig and the pico de gallo-ish are house made, as in this house. The guac from Whole Foods, and the chips from Costco. The cheeses were from various places.

Tri colore baby gnocchi with sage butter.
I had some dental work so I am on a soft food diet.
Maybe an herb goat cheese? It is very melty. I have seen goat gouda too.

I'm not a huge fan of plain goat cheese. I like it with add-ins that wouldn’t go on a pizza, like blueberries, cherries, orange peel.

Imperfect foods Alaskan Sockeye Salmon
My wife cooked some of the ingredients we got last Wednesday from IF. Sockeye salmon pieces, on top of rice with greenbeans and bell peppers. Very tasty.

Turkey taco supper including guacamole and sliced avocado, with flour tortillas
it’s funny how much I learned about avocado and guacamole from everybody here. I used to suffer overripe avocados and safeway-bought guacamole. It’s such a joy to just now make guacamole at home with perfectly timed avocados! Big yay for ft.
