Bagels, Cream Cheese & Ikura!!
Sunday we took our little boat to Anacortes and launched at Cap Sante Marina. We had a one o’clock appointment, but went very early so we could picnic out on the water. It was a beautiful sunny day, but it was COLD in Bellingham Channel! Our picnic was simple as can be. Nice smoked salmon, cream cheese and Bagels. A few bing cherries, and a few (!) potato chips and a jug of sweet tea. Unfortunately, no wine with this picnic because of the afore mentioned appointment. While drifting about, out of the wind, and the sun shining we were visted by a couple seals, several eagles and porpoises!! It was wonderful to see them dive. They actually put on a performance just for us!
It occurred to me today how much we enjoyed our picnic and while I was hungry had to make do with a leftover bagel. The leftover bagel, turned to extraordinary with creme fraiche and chum salmon ikura!
Try it sometime. 2 ounces of Ikura $10.00 about the same as a package of smoked salmon and just as delish.
