Good news.
- The spreadsheet from hell is coming along nicely. And the “customer” likes it. Now, all I have to do is make it “nurse-proof”.
- The sun is shining and it is toasty warm.
- The dreaded company dinner is an hour away and so far so good. Menu: Slightly baked salmon with guacamole sauce, cold sweet potatoes with cumin, nuked broccoli with tiny tomatoes and balsamic vinegar dressing. Dessert: mini vanilla cupcakes, big strawberries, chocolate truffles and coffee.
Cooking tip: Buy the biggest slab of salmon you can afford. Have the fish monger skin it. Oil your serving platter – I am assuming it is glass or china. Deposit said salmon slab on the platter. Now, rub some oil on the salmon. Put you favorite seasonings – Cajun, teriyaki whatever… I am using mayo and topping every thing with panko crumbs. Pop the fish in a 200 degree oven for 45 minutes or “until done”. When it is done – I am going to put some guacamole on top. This solves the problem of getting the big slab of salmon out of the baking dish onto the platter. Aside: It will not get brown.
