Dinner for the 4th of July on the 5th of July

 

In New England, we were told, the 4th of July menu includes salmon and peas. This makes sense
if you think about the season: when there were salmon in the Atlantic, that’s when they were being caught.
Here is our version: grain salad with peas, a tomato galette, and salmon in sour cream and mayo.

Close up: a salad of rice, quinoa, peas, mushrooms and garden herbs.



Dessert galette, with rhubarb. And patriotic tart.

Len and all our guests, ready to eat.

Lucky lucky guests at your beautiful table. Everything sounds amazing! I remember reading the story of Anadama Bread in the first cookbook I ever owned : Betty Crocker (an early edition from way back in the dark ages when we were first married!) I don't think I ever made it though because I was new to everything so it was the basic 'can't live without its' that I needed. "We" (not personally) are still catching salmon here on the west coast and that dinner sounds wonderful for this time of year!

Thank you for letting us all join you at this amazing table of food. I would love to try a little of that tomato galette and the bread, please. And perhaps a bit of that patriotic tart.
