Salmon for Dinner




I went down to the asian store ..... loads of fun things in there...... there is a large fresh fish counter and the salmon was looking really orangy fresh so the only decisioin was.... steaks of fillets..... the steaks won out......

Now I have to decide how to cook them.... pan seared in the griswold or baked in the oven.... either way I am sure it will be great.

I like to keep it simple with butter and a little oil so the butter wont burn... a few slices of onion and chopped garlic ... salt and pepper...... maybe even leave the garlic out if I am not in a garlicy mood...... in the pan or in the oven .. i like it cooked a little wet in the center not totally dried out.....

For a side dish I usually like rice... potatoes are too heavy for salmon.... plain rice with just a bit of seasoning.... and maybe some green stuff.... brocolli or asparagus.......

Lets not forget the wine........ white red whatever I do not stand on tradition.... the white fish red meat rule.....

The following link will take you to my Valentine's Day Grilled Salmon Dinner......... lots of pics there!!!!

Good Cheer Frypan




I am a sucker for vintage cast iron cookware...... I have a hard time passing up any pieces even though I have many many frypans... I love my griswolds and my wagners..... and the odd ones like mclary....


Just the other day I picked one up and on the bottom where I was hoping to see griswold was the best surprise...... it said.... good cheer..... I had to smile ... what a great message to get from a frypan.... wonder where that one came from.......
