It was difficult to decide how to approach this week. Should we go with the great American diner breakfast? Should we research Native American foods? Ultimately we decided to go with something very regional, and native: salmon and blueberries.
We simply baked some wild King salmon, and topped it with a balsamic/blueberry reduction with a little local (Harvard, Idaho) honey. It was a delicious combination and went very well with the roasted red potatoes we made, with some rosemary from the back yard. To drink we had a delicious Washington state wine, Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay, and also some Cascade Brown Ale, brewed by Michael using cascade hops grown in our front yard. Could dinner BE more local? In January, when the garden is bare, probably not! 
A few fun facts about the USA:
- The USA has more Americans per capita than any other country in the world. Amazing!
- Fattest country on earth, followed by Mexico and the UK.
- The USA is the largest country on earth*
- The USA boasts 146 Heliports, the most in the world.
- Worlds largest consumer of cocaine. That blows!
*Except for Russia and Canada
