Thanks for the recipe, it looks delicious.  My recipe only called for 1/2 cup of wine........yours was far more generous!  We still enjoyed it and with a big crusty loaf of sourdough.  You know how you feel about brussel sprouts?  That's the way I feel about fennel and I've tried very hard to like it.  I always substitute green pepper.

Here is my other favorite salmon recipe which we are having tonight.  I always use a Webber with regular charcoal (not, God forbid, match light).  I love the charcoal flavor.



Grilled Citrus Salmon, from "The Junior League Celebration Cookbook" A treasury of the 400 most requested recipes from Junior League Cookbooks.

1 1/2 TB fresh lemon juice
2 TB olive oil
1 TB butter
1 TB Dijon mustard
4 cloves garlic
2 dashes cayenne pepper
2 dashes salt
1 tsp dried basil (I'm a firm believer in fresh herbs, having tried this with both - no difference)
1 tsp dried dill
3 tsp capers (I always use more)
3 lbs salmon

In a small saute pan over medium heat, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, butter, mustard, garlic, red pepper, salt, basil, dill and capers.  While stirring, bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

Place salmon fillets skin side down on a piece of heavy-duty foil with edges folded up, to make a pan.  Pour sauce evenly over fish.

Prepare a medium hot charcoal fire.  Gently place the "foil pan" on the grill and close the lid.  Barbecue over medium hot coals for 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets.  The fish will be flaky and light pink in color when cooked.

From "Portlands Palate", Portland, Oregon

Enjoy!  Best to you, Sandy and Bailey..........Carol

Was going to make this tonight but Publix did not have the fennel bulb.

Jeff and Roberta took us to this hole in the wall Italian restaurant  in North Fort Myers.  We had this heavyset 60ish blond waitress who came from the Bronx.  When we asked her for pinot noir she looked at me like I was from another planet and stated, "This not that kind of fancy restaurant but we have some Cabernet."  A few minutes later when the salads came out Sandy gave her the same look and tone and asked, "Is this the kind of restaurant that has napkins?"  We always crack up with Jeff and Roberta.

Recipe: Cioppino (seafood Stew)

http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/170248/cioppino-seafood-stew

Ciopinno is a fish/seafood stew deriving from Italy and is usually prepared from the catch of the day, which explains the many regional versions. While touring Italy my then nine year old son couldn't get enough of this dish. Although he ordered it at least once a day, every restaurant served it a little differently in terms of sauce and seafood/fish. This only made it more appealing to him! It's never the same twice so go ahead and make the base and add any fish/seafood you like according to your local market. Serve with thick crusty bread for dipping and tiramisu for dessert!

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 large fennel bulb thinly sliced & diced

1 Onion chopped

3 large shallots chopped

2 teaspoons salt

4 large garlic cloves finely chopped

3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup Tomato paste

2 15-oz cans diced tomatoes in juice (with italian seasonings)

1 1/2 cups Dry white wine

5 cups fish stock (vegetable or chicken can be substituted)

1 Bay leaf

1 pound clams scrubbed

1/2 pound mussels scrubbed, debearded

1 pound uncooked large shrimp peeled and deveined

1 1/2 assorted firm-fleshed fish fillets cut into 2-inch chunks

1 pound bay scallops

Preparation:

Heat the oil in a very large pot over medium heat. Add the fennel, onion, shallots, and salt and saute until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and 3/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and saute 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste. Add tomatoes with their juices, wine, fish stock and bay leaf. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the flavors blend, about 30 minutes.

Add the clams and mussels to the cooking liquid. Cover and cook until the clams and mussels begin to open, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, scallops and fish. Simmer gently until the fish and shrimp are just cooked through, and the clams are completely open, stirring gently, about 5 minutes longer (discard any clams and mussels that do not open). Remove bay leaf.

Season the soup, to taste, with more salt and red pepper flakes.

Ladle into bowls using a slotted spoon and then ladel just enough juice on top for dipping. Serve with thick home-made crusty bread for dipping.

Notes from Laura:

Don't be afraid to substitute. Try orange roughy, talapia, crab legs, etc....

In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson

In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson
Love, Terror and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin
William Dodd was the American Ambassador to Germany appointed by Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. This was the year that Hitler consolidated power over Germany. Dodd, a historian by trade, was not your typical American diplomat. He was a man of modest means and could not entertain at the level of most diplomats.
The anti-semetic superiors in the Department of State were not very sympathetic to the prescient observations of Dodd. The Nazis tried to muzzle Dodd and American Freedom of Expression in the United States.
It is amazing that the Germans could be lead down the path of totalitarianism. Fear, humiliation after defeat in WWII as well rising employment all played a role in German acceptance of Nazi terrorism.

Dear Barbara and Dave,

We want to thank you for your hospitality.  We had a great time with you guys, as always.  We drove straight home after leaving you and checked on my father.  He bounced back after his spell of heat exhaustion/dehydration.  He recognized us when we visited him.  He smiled and gave us hugs and talked with my sister, Janice after we got her on the phone.  He then asked Sandy if he could wear her blouse.

I am so happy that I drove the car to Maine and visited with family and friends along the way.
You should be proud of the beautiful home that you built in a beautiful part of the country.  I  love the way that you planted the evergreen trees in a perfect line to outline the boundary of the property 20 years ago.  Your place shows all the hard work that you put in to make it so perfect.  My father's family owned a 200 acre farm about 100 miles north of New York City.  It was my Dad's plan to raise us on that farm.  He was actually remodeling a house on the property for us to live when he was given an opportunity in business that he could not pass up.  I hope that you sell it for the price you ask but if you don't I would not mind visiting again.  Neither would Bailey.  She had a blast.  She has had no aftereffects from her forays into your fields.  

I biked out to the end of Captiva this morning.  It took me two hours of peddling to get there and it was 11 o'clock.  I made it back to the house by 1:30, changed into my tennis clothes, ate a banana and drove to The Landings to play with the guys.  I had no legs.  Yesterday the kids were using the ball machine at tennis camp which forced Mike and I to play singles.  It was very hot.  Mike and I volunteered to help Rick clean courts for the Busch/Florida open.

Sandy and Janice want to go on a dogsled excursion when we cruise to Alaska next month.
I want to go salmon fishing, make a killing and ship it back home like we did 10 years ago.  
I cooked some wild Sockeye Salmon using a recipe that Carol Downing gave me last week.  I steamed the vegetables and then seasoned and cut up the salmon and baked it all together.  I'll make it for you when you get back to Fort Myers.

Enjoy the summer and let me know how you make out with the arrhythmia, the fleconide and the hospital parking lot.  Tell your tennis buds that I enjoyed playing with them only next time we won't spot them the first five games.

Subject: Thoughts from Your Father

We were in Delaware, eating Mexican Food with our friends the Peirsons when the phone rang from Arden Court informing me that Dad got overheated and became unresponsive.  He has a habit of sitting out in the courtyard, in the heat for long periods of time unsupervised.  They were able to revive him with water.  Mom and I cut short our vacation and left the next day for home.  When we got home we found him standing up in his room in his pajamas, facing the door.  He smiled when he saw us and immediately gave your Mom a big hug.  He asked for some toothpaste and while we waited for the aide to get it for him we joked with him and got a few smiles.  This is the first time Dad has smiled or looked us in the eye in about two months.
I took a picture of Dad hugging Sandy and emailed it to Janice.  Then we let him speak to Janice on the phone.  Mom was crying.

Mom told me that Mr Farbstein liked the photos that I had framed.  At first I thought that he liked the sunset in Costa Rica and then she gave me her weird, critical look and reminded me of the doctor/lawyer/teacher/mentor combo.  I am glad you put that in your office.  The sunset photo might be useful to help you calm down when your reactions, nerves, and emotions are overwhelming.

I am going to get our mail that was held in the post office and look carefully for anything sent to you from the Florida Bar.  I will let you know what find or not find.  In any case it might make sense for you to get a Post Office Box to receive your mail until your residence issues solidify.

I know that it must be so frustrating to hear about your classmates being sworn in while your license remains in limbo.  I am glad that you sent the certified letter to the Florida Bar.  If you can't get a satisfactory response it might be wise to collect all your correspondence with them (including the letter written to them from Dr. Gottleib) and consult with an attorney (not Farbstein) on the best strategy to get you over the hump.

I am sad that you are having issues with Steve.  We are grateful that he was able to  help you transition out of your difficult situation in Chicago,  but according to what I hear from Mom, things are almost continuously strained.  It sounds like you need some space to sort things out, not leases and promises that force you together.  Take advantage of your geographical proximity to Amanda and Josh.  If and when they move out of the area you will wish that you had spent more time with them.  They are family and a source of love and stability when other parts of your life get unsettled.

Similarly, Mr Farbstein is helping you transition into private practice.  Think objectively about what you are getting from the relationship... money, experience, exposure in your field.  Try to deflect his quirky statements and behaviors; then redouble your efforts to secure your credentials so that you can look forward to applying your talents in a setting that better suits you.



Love,

Dad

We enjoyed you sharing your rich New Hampshire life with us.  We made it safely to the Peirson's in Smyrna, Delaware.  Dave has a tennis match set up for me to meet his Delaware buddies tomorrow.  We will have to take a rain check on the roasted Brussels sprouts.

I like the idea of sharing a house on Nantucket with close friends and family.  When you get back to Florida we will have you guys over with some of the other River Rats and explore it further.

I am sorry that our stay was so short and that we did not get to hike like you had planned.
We will have to return if only have some more of that caramel soft serve ice-cream.
Sandy and Bailey are exhausted even though I did all the driving.  We gave NYC a wide birth and avoided very heavy traffic...  Tappenzee Bridge to Garden State parkway to New Jersey Turnpike did the trick.

September 22 will arrive Portsmouth, NH from Portland, ME and September 23 will ride from Portsmouth to Worcester, Ma, so if you are interested in seeing some serious road bikers doing 80 to 100 miles each day  on there way to Daytona you are welcome to come out of the mountains and visit either at the end of the day stage or at one of the rest stops.

I hope that your allergies improve, Ned.  I was wondering if you have ever tried singulair which is a member of a newly discovered group fo anti-inflammatory medications that you might ask your doctor about.  I take vistaril for my allergies at nighttime.  This is not habit forming and does help me sleep.

I can' find that Yukon gold mining company you asked me to look at.  Is the symbol aux?

Holding Hands With Dad

I went to see Dad yesterday. It is hard to see him. We are leaving town to visit Janice and rendezvous with our future in-laws. I wanted to visit him before we leave for what could be two weeks.

I played tennis with the guys and then drank a few beers before driving to see him at Arden Court. The caregivers were happy to see me. The told me where to find Dad. He was outside in the heat and sun with his bare head uncovered. They came out with sunscreen to help keep him from getting burnt. I put my arm around him and gave him a hug. I squeezed his hind in mine and asked him to squeeze back. I thought I felt a slight squeeze from him. I talked to him about Bailey the poodle and our upcoming drive to Pittsburgh and Maine. He did not respond. I told him about Bailey and recalled some of the happy times that we had together with our dogs in the past. (After the Dogs chewed up hardballs Dad prolonged the ball's life with shiney electrical tape wound around the strings of the ball. I told him how I remember him throwing hard balls to me at second base. If Jeffrey or I threw too weekly he would fire the hardball just as hard as he could at us.)

French Open 2011

I don't think that I will ever be able to hit a decent forehand. Before going out to the courts for Sunday Mixed Doubles I shadow-stroked my forehand. In the first set I felt as if my arms were in cement. I moved back to give myself more time but this only seemed to make things worse. Finally I decided to just chip balls back and quickly take a position up near the net. This worked because my volleys are a much better part of my game.

We had the Drennans and Peirsons over to watch Nadal beat Federer. I prepared the Venezuelan Chicken which was a big success.

Tomorrow I plan to ride 60 miles.

Tonight I plan to finish The Lords of Dicipline by Pat Conroy.
