'ACOUSTICS OF THE SEASON' ~ (FRIDAY NIGHT FISH FEAST) CRANBERRY GINGER SALMON / CRISP MASHED POTATO CAKES
"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are crisp as autumn air. "

My husband has relatives in Saugatuck. We occasionally stop for a little visit on the way to visit our family. Love your photos!
Have a great weekend.
And this is why I follow your blog! You have recipes to use leftover potatoes! Thanks, you rock, girl.
Rosey
Thank you.
Looking forward to making some of these crispy potatoes.

I think they do, Shady, since all of them also love to cook :) Saugatuck is a great spot, isn't it!
I bet you work wonders in the kitchen, Monica ... often simplest is best :)
I agree, Carol, and thank you ... I love the many faces of the beach, lakes, and rivers in every season ...
How sweet, Jen, and an honor coming from your fine eye :) Thank you!

The Iroquois prayer you posted on Thanksgiving Day was very moving; perfect for remembering all to be thankful for. Hope you had a wonderful holiday, Joey!
The fish sounds delish with 2 of my favorite flavors...ginger and cranberry, and the potato cakes sound yummy too.
I hope your Thanksgiving was a happy celebration, dear Joey. We had a wonderful time with family and friends...a houseful of company...lovely fun!
It saddened me to hear about your sister. You must miss her so much.

The first mosaic is exudes peace and the second one seems lively and very picturesque :)
Off to try your Ginger and Cranberry Salmon now... :)

Indeed we did, Robin, as I hope you did. Saugatuck is lovely ... did you see my post on the Wickwood Inn, delightful!
Our Great Lakes are so awesome, Kerri, you might think you were at the ocean! Indeed blessed, your Thanksgiving sounds delightful as was ours :)
Thank you for visiting and your kind comments, Ellen. Enjoy the goodies :)
Hi Donna ~ glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and the tassies. They freeze well and fun to have on hand. Thank you for your kind concern. Yes, it is hard to loose a sibling ... we were very close and I miss her terribly.
Delighted to see you, WG, and thank you! Glad you are enjoying the recipes. I love Cranberry Salmon and as I mentioned to Rose, there are 2 more posted, all favs. Just returned from delightful visit to Barleycorn, always a joy :) Happy Holidays!
Fish and Feast and then I asked my five to say those two words, fast, and she stopped after the first two and said, "No, I can't." LOL
Delighted to see you again, Abe, and thank you. I'm honored by your keen eye behind the lens. Cute story ... I can't either, can you :)
I love that you share Michigan's beauty with your photos. I think you might just be increasing tourism with these photos. Keep up the beautiful work.
I knew you would comment on the grasses, Gail :) Yes, the 1st snowfall of the season is predicted here on Thurs, how much, can't say but hope it's not too heavy since we have to travel north on Friday!
