D is for Dill

I had a hard time today coming up with a good D food. I thought about duck and dates. But then I remembered a dip my mother used to make years ago using dill and smoked salmon. So I emailed her to get the recipe.

BTW if you were wondering the nuitrition facts for today's food...well there is not much to tell. Dill has barely any calories making it perfect to give your dishes a flavorful punch. Unfortunately it does not have much of anything in the way vitamins/minerals.
