With my ISP service I get their TechXpert service too and they can take over one's computer and check out what is wrong etc. etc. which is what they were doing last night. In fact, when I checked at about 5:30 a.m. they had worked until shift end at roughly 2:30 a.m. I think. Not had any contact with anyone since, but it does seem that the things which were wrong have been fixed. It all started with lack of sound and escalated. Not sure what the problem was. I know the loaded a different driver for the sound system even though the one I had said it was the right one and up to date.
This evening we watched the last part of an Il Volo concert on PBS. They really are a fantastic group. They sing all kinds of songs not just classical Italian. The show tonight was from Pompeii and they sang Volare and Unchained Melody to name a couple. Both of those songs were popular when I was a young woman, so a loooong time ago. They appear to be popular world wide. They are going to be in concert in Buffalo on February 5, the day after Matt's birthday, but the tickets are only given out to a one time donation to WNED of $250 which is too rich for our blood, especially as we would then have to get down to Buffalo to watch it. So, I guess, CDs and DVDs are the things we have to use. I cannot believe the chubby faced young fellow, Ignacio, has turned into the young man on the right in the second picture. Pity, he was so chubby and popular there.
Smoked Salmon is one of my favourite foods, as is avocado, so this recipe appealed to me instantly.
Have a great day

Smoked Salmon is one of my favourite foods, as is avocado, so this recipe appealed to me instantly.
Avocado and Smoked Salmon Salad
4 oz. Applegirth cold-smoked salmon, sliced or chopped
fresh spinach or other greens
1 avocado peeled and sliced
1 red pepper , chopped OR
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
capers ( optional )
purple onion, sliced ( optional )
herbed salad dressing
This recipe came from a local seafood shop, T & J's. I am not sure why there are no instructions. However, I think, reading it, everything would be pretty simple to throw together.
Have a great day
Jo, I'm glad your computer is back on track. I also like some of the old classics like Volare and Unchained Melody. Didn't Dean Martin sing Volare?
ReplyDeleteI also love smoked salmon. I usually have it on a bagel with creamed cheese, but your recipe is much healthier, and more enticing. Thanks Jo!
Julie
Thanks Julie. I don't remember if he did sing it, possibly. I recall European singers for that period mainly.
DeleteIt is good stuff isn't it. Wish I could afford to eat smoked salmon more often.
Hi Jo - hope the dreaded machine stays alive and running. It's always good to read about groups I hadn't really been aware of.
ReplyDeleteThe smoked salmon and avo sounds delicious ... I usually have smoked salmon with a salad - without the avo - but then it's just me ... it's the season for smoked salmon ... so I shall be having some!
Cheers Hilary
Me too Hilary. You weren't really aware of Il Volo? I am surprised - I love to hear them.
DeleteSounds good to me with the avocado. Didn't know there was a season for smoked salmon!!
I'm glad they were able to fix your computer issues. Back in WA I had a problem once and I let the tech support take control of my computer to fix it. But I was up and watching and it was pretty bizarre seeing the mouse zooming and clicking w/o my touching it. I was hesitant to let them take control but it worked out fine.
ReplyDeleteSo am I JoJo. You're right, it is weird seeing the cursor moving around without you touching it. I have had this bunch working on my computer many times, it's all part of the fee I pay for my ISP, TV and phones.
DeleteI've never heard of them but must check them out. They're handsome looking Italian lads aren't they! Mmmm smoked salmon and avocado. I'd add sour cream. I was going to write red onion but I see it's already there.
ReplyDeleteCheck them out on YouTube Pinky, there are lots of recordings of them. We love them. I do prefer Ignacio as he was to how he is today.
DeleteNot sure about the sour cream.
I'm glad you've got your computer sorted out. I love avocado, too, but as a long time vegetarian smoked salmon not so much. In fact the man of the house has just gone out to do the shopping and avocados are at the top of the list.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how many of my blogging friends are vegetarians or even vegans Helen. I am glad I am not as I really love smoked salmon.
