The halibut was Mike’s recipe – delicious and easy. I don’t think I’ve made it since he’s been gone. I bought fava beans and corn on the cob last week at the Farmers Markets to make the salad for the first time since last summer. It was a favorite recipe of ours.
Ours. I miss that – sharing things that were our favorites . . . our “dinner and a movie” nights, our gatherings with friends, reading the Sunday papers together. Last year at this time, Mike was helping me pit apricots for jam. I’ve been stirring all evening and have made four batches of apricot jam. Next week I’ll get another case from the farmers market and make apricot butter, which is my favorite. Both are enjoyed by all that receive them at Christmas.
