White bean salmon bisque... carrots, onions, celery if you got it,
herbs, spices, add the corn too. Do I have to tell you how? Hint: pan
fry the seasoned salmon in lots of butter, flake coarsely and gently
fold in at the very end just before serving (float a few flakes on
top), for a garnish drizzle a spoonful of pan butter natcherly. A
little fresh dill would be nice. Don't you dare plate that in a
fercocktah red dish... use white, even black if you got it... but never
red, blue, or yellow, no primary colors, ever.

Pistachio ice cream for dessert would be great.
