Last night I grilled a Harris Ranch steak and some mushrooms for dinner. I can never eat an entire steak (and I never seem to get to the market when the butcher is still there to order a steak fresh cut small enough for me, so I'm always buying out of the cut-and-packaged-that-day counter). So, this morning for breakfast, I sauteed an onion and had a steak, onion, mushroom, and double cream gouda omlette with a slice of Como bread toast and some semi-fresh Ranier cherries and blueberries.
Perfect two meal combo.
Now, off on a day trip down the Kenai Penninsula for a kayaking day trip.

Nothing like a hearty breakfast to prepare you for a long Alaska summer day. One thing I miss about Alaska, especially at breakfast, is the reindeer sausage. Don't get too close to the whales in your kayak. -aem

I wish I'd seen one, but not on this trip (although a few weeks ago, I did see some belugas on the drive back up). I did see a single seal swimming in the harbor. Just a little head bobbing along. At first I thought it was an otter (*much* more common), but then I realized it wasn't facing the right direction (otters float on their backs, so their faces are looking towards their tails) and it wasn't hairy. Saw lots of eagles (several mature and juvenile bald and a few golden) and there was a Stellar Jay that gave us quite a show when we took a break on a small "beach". I think he was looking for a snack, and he got rather annoyed with us when we didn't share. He stood on a driftwood branch above the kayak and squawked --loudly -- at us while we ate our granola bars (there's an on-topic portion, they were homemade bars). Got relatively close to a couple of otters, but nothing like the slew of them that we saw last weekend in another part of the state.
On-topic moment -- late dinner at Apollo's restaurant in Seward. I split a bowl of excellent cioppino with a friend after an appetizer of "Greek style brueschetta" and a glass of white wine. Excellent end to a perfect trip.
