A last hoorah

One last lab BBQ. There's one every summer held at my supervisor's house. Always fun to do the potluck thing. Found a slug which I believe to be the Deroceras reticulatum. I rescued him from the porch and threw him back to the dirt. Quite slimey and difficult to pick up.

We even relived the fishing adventures of days gone by. The day before to be exact. We were supposed to bring what we caught as the potluck contribution, but since that wasn't possible, I brought food on fish shaped plates instead. The plates themselves were a gift from a friend a few years ago.

In the main dish are bagel slices. In two of the five little dishes are roasted garlic and in the others, salmon roll, in ball form.


Roasted garlic:

cut top off to expose clove cross-sections, and drizzle liberally with olive oil. Sprinkle some salt. Bake at 350 for at least an hour. Amazingly easy appetizer. And not as strong as most would assume.


Salmon roll:

canned salmon
cream cheese
bacon
onion
crushed pecans

finely dice bacon and onion and caramelize. Mix with salmon and cream cheese. Refridgerate for at least an hour. Form into desired shape and roll in pecan pieces.
