What's For Dinner?

 Hello and Good Morning!

It's a bit chillier out today...low 40's this a.m.  Fletch said his chin was cold when he walked last night (he sports a beard in the winter months, but recently shaved it off for the summer).

Yesterday ended up being a busier day than I expected or wanted.  I did manage to do a little stitching and a little reading, but no knitting.  Not good...hoping to remedy that today.  It's already been quite a busy morning workwise though, so we shall see.

Has anyone watched the new series on Netflix "Life in Color" with David Attenborough?  It's quite good - only 3 episodes and we finished watching it last night.

Well, as I mentioned, I completely forgot it was Cinco de Mayo yesterday, so no Mexican food for us.  I had taken salmon out of the freezer, so that's what we had.  One of our favorite ways to have it is:


A very simple recipe, but quite tasty.  You can up the heat or decrease depending on what you like.  Last night I did not broil it, but baked it at 425 because I had "tater tots" in the oven to go with (I prefer fries, but Fletch loves his tater tots - lol).  That and some riced cauliflower with zucchini, peppers and some spices rounded out the meal.  It was a little bland looking (all brown and white), but it did taste good!

I'm off to pour some more coffee, make the bed and (hopefully) do something - anything - on the personal side rather than work!  Hope your Thursday is a good one.

What's for Dinner?

 Good Morning!

Well, the heat is on in the house.  Yesterday it was 63 when I got up but by Noon the temps had started to plummet and it is around freezing now.  Luckily no snow like some of you poor unfortunate ones have gotten.

No further side effects from the second jab and my arm is no longer sore.  I slept like a rock last night and am up early on Thursday to run my usual Thursday reports.  Before I get into work, though, I thought I would do a post.

It may be chilly outside, but before we know it the warm/hot temps will be upon us.  So this week I have a couple more salads to share with you.  First up is the Marinated Eggplant dish I made last Saturday when Colin & Mailing were over.  I have been making this for years and it is just so good.  I hope you enjoy.



Next up is a lentil salad that I just made for the first time this week.  If I remember correctly, the recipe came from an Eating Well magazine.  This was really good and there were (actually still are) leftovers.  Lentils are very high in protein.


Time to get some more coffee and start in on my work day.  Hoping your week has been going well - enjoy the wind down to the weekend!
