Went to the local Buy Low to check for bulk blueberries and found fresh wild Sockeye. I cut it crosswise, bone in for more flavor, in about 1.5cm widths. Yumi making salted mini steaks to freeze for later use in bentos and onigiri rice balls.
Thank you Sockeye!
I rarely follow recipes to the letter, because I like to incorporate extra ingredients.
So we had an aging zuchini in the fridge, and a bunch of cheese bought on sale. Googled zuchini cheese and came up with a cubed bread casserole that looked good.
By the time I’d finished preparing it, and adding some extra veg, I realized it was pretty much like a casserole stuffing with a whack of cheese on top

Well not that blue. . . I had a good birthday despite sleeping much of the day fighting a summer cold.
It always helps to have Sora the Cat’s devotion, eh? She knows I’ve been ill and has been giving me extra cuddles.
A delicious Yumi-made fruit cup with ice cream, Studio Ghibli 40th Anniversary T, and Samurai Cat T! Woot woot!
I took a morning walk around Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC, today. The highlight was coming across this Red-tailed Hawk in Ron McLean Park.
Took a short photo ramble at Fraser Foreshore Park.

The Red-tailed Hawk family nested near our townhouse in Burnaby, BC, again this year. Nice to see them!
Spotted a grouse, a Steller’s Jay, and a Douglas Squirrel while camping in Manning Park.
This was my first sighting of a Common Nighthawk. It was along highway 5A, but I don’t recall the exact spot.
It was exciting to see an Osprey take a trout at Lac le Jeune, near Kamloops, BC, and then have a Bald Eagle try to steal the fish!
It appears that neither ended up with sashimi this time!
There were lots of trout jumping for bugs in the evening. . .
