Tartar sauce for salmon croquettes Dad is making f

Tartar sauce for salmon croquettes Dad is making for us tonight. This is perfect for anything from the sea. Slather it onto crab cakes fresh out of the pan or whiting off the grill. Here's how to make it...

TARTAR SAUCE
1 cup mayo
1 Tb Dijon mustard
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tsp diced cornishons (baby pickles)
1 tsp capers
3-4 Tb (a good handful) Italian parsley (flat-leaf)
Pinch of fresh-cracked pepper

Told ya it's easy! It's salty enough. So no need to add salt.
Enjoy!

Mom made this deliciousness for Shawn 14 years ago

Mom made this deliciousness for Shawn 14 years ago when he invited my parents over for dinner. He made Rendang, an Indonesian beef coconut curry that he makes saucy with the addition of crushed tomatoes. He decorated each plate with a delicate sprig of fresh coriander, I was so impressed.

The captain's carafe holds the last remnants of Mom's Vichnovka, a sour cherry liqueur hailing from Russia. Fresh sour cherries are pitted and collected in a big glass jar, topped with sugar and whole cloves, then settled in a bright spot to soak up the sunshine for several days. Then,, vodka is added and the potion is once again laid to rest, this time for several weeks.

My friends from Syria and Lebanon tell me they have similar concoctions made with Arak, instead of vodka. Arak is similar to the Greek ouzo with a trademark licorice flavor.

Sadly, our climate here in SoCal is too warm for lovely sour cherries. The Balaton variety is shipped from WA state in the early summer months and disappears quickly. I wasn't thinking this year, else I'd have bought some.

Now, I have a huge batch of delicious dried sour cherries and I wonder if I can manage to pull off a batch. @darra.goldstein, what do you think?

It's been a struggle to keep Daisy occupied during this pandemic. It's hit the children hardest, what, with canceled summer road trips, no visits to the swimming pool (we don't have one at home), minimal (if any) time with friends. Even going out for ice cream isn't the same.

Daisy misses going to school and seeing her friends and teachers in person. She's as cheerful as can be expected, but spends a lot of free time online.

Thanks to @bejanianmartialarts
and @hidekijukucraftsgallery for providing creative and healthy outlets for her.

Grandma got her started on crocheting and Daddy gives her guitar lessons.
Keeping her unplugged and engaged in things that give her a sense of accomplishment are true blessings.
