Last night was quite possibly the yummiest meal of my life.
That includes meals that I have eaten in very fancy restaurants, on my cruise, and in France.
But this meal was fairly inexpensive, took me about 45 minutes from fridge to table and was extremely healthy. I think this is breaking some kind of unwritten law. :)
So what did I make?
Baked Alaskan Salmon and Fresh Green Beans. The salmon recipe was developed by my friend Robert, and I will ask his permission to post it here. I can tell you that it involved the perfect balance of olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt & pepper and one other secret ingredient. The excess oil that dripped off the fish was so good that Michael and I ate several pieces of toasted whole wheat bread each just to sop it up. We couldn't stop!
The green bean recipe I found on Pioneer Woman's website. Quite a discovery--both the beans and the website. I will be visiting there again. We had a little hiccup getting the liquid to evaporate, but even so, it was caramel-y sweet.
Also, I have a new goal of bringing my camera into the kitchen--just in case! :)
Happy Friday my friends.

My Savory Plant Named Sage
I wrote this on July 26th but didn't have the gumption to finish it. Anyhow, here it is, with my follow-up entry. Bonne Journee.
I bought a Winter Savory plant at the Farmers Market four weeks ago. The first week I did my best to kill it by leaving it out in the heat and consistantly neglecting to water it. The second week I brought it in and nearly stained the carpet by over-watering it. Now the lower branches are brown and brittle, but the tops are shooting up like rockets. (Imagine Meg Ryan in I.Q.) I feel like I should go back and read Jacob 5--what have I missed?!?!
Something deep inside me is telling me to prune. Prune like mad! (I told Michael this and he keeps quoting it!) I haven't done it yet, but I know that the longer I wait, the weirder this thing is going to turn out...
8/2/07: Well, I finally pruned and it's getting browner by the day. Now I think it's getting overwattered and undersunned. So yesterday it went back out on the patio. I get to remember to water it out there though. There are quite a few new shoots, so I'm positive about it's future.
p.s. It's called Sage because Michael couldn't remember which herb it was. We attempted a re-christening, but Sage stuck. :D
