Is it normal for them to be out and about during the day like this? It surprised me I thought owls mostly came out at dusk and dawn but this was during broad daylight
Creamy garlic dill mashed potato:
4 russet potatoes
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup cream
1 tbsp dried dill weed
1 tbsp minced garlic
Start by peeling your potatoes and chopping them up into bite sized pieces. Add water to pot so that 1 inch is above potatoes when all are in the water. Add a bit of salt! Boil for about 10 minutes and then when soft (soft when you can stick in and pull out a fork easily) add the butter, minced garlic, mix in and then add cream and dried dill weed to taste.
Salmon filets:
Season salmon with garlic powder and spray with oil air fry at 400 for 8 minutes
Creamy Ukrainian dill sauce:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup fish stock or chicken stock
1/2 cup cream
1/2 tsp salt
Juice of 1 lemon
Add dill to your taste preference (I use quite abit)
Melt the butter low and slow until almost entirely melted. Add flour but don't let the flour change colour. Mix in well and cook for 2 minutes or so. Add in your stock and mix until smooth cook for several minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and mix in dill, cream, salt and lemon juice.
For the asparagus I steam it over the potatoes and then add a bit of lemon on top!
I know it's not your usual nature pic but I hope you enjoy :)
On tonight's evening walk we spotted robert's herb, a black slug alongside a flower, scotch broom, and a red breasted sapsucker! I have really been enjoying looking at the little plants and creatures as I walk and using an app called seek by inaturalist to identify different species :)
