big girl pants, delicious, dinner, fish, food, memories, pepper, salmon, trout, widow

last night I cooked a steelhead trout fillet for the first time… it came as part of my Save-On-Foods delivery, substituted for the salmon I had ordered… I’ve never had this fish, and wouldn’t have likely tried it otherwise…

I found a recipe online and even used the pepper flakes it called for… getting braver with hot things…

I also used the last of the rice from Sunday’s Chinese food with some fresh asparagus… it was a very tasty dinner and I enjoyed it…

there was enough left for another meal, which I had for my lunch today, and it was equally as delicious;-)…

I will buy that again…

had fun making my supper tonight… another ChefsPlate meal which went into the new bowl I picked up at the Chinese market last week…

Mediterranean Salmon with sun tomatoes and pearl couscous pilaf… also learned that Harissa is a hot sauce… not so wise to dip a finger in it to taste, lol… I like pearl couscous…

enjoying my flowers at home, as well as the ones at the office…

did giggle when I saw how the water in the vase had turned purple…

tonight’s final treat was a bowl of popcorn…

always have popcorn in my fish bowl…

funny how we like certain things in certain containers…

big girl pants, ChefsPlate, Friday, long week, meal, orchid, salmon, widow

been a long week and I am very happy it is done…

after a nap I made Butter Basted Salmon with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Braised Collard Greens…

tasty… but I’ve decided collard greens aren’t my favourite, lol…

I like the fact that I have another meal prepared once I’ve cooked the dinner…

maybe lunch tomorrow…

my orchid is quite beautiful but I don’t think it is going to last like the other one did… it has already lost a few blossoms…

big girl pants, Brussels sprouts, fancy, fillet, Michael Symon, orchid, pattern, recipe, salmon, The Chew

my usual pattern after work is to watch The Chew before making dinner… on Monday, when I watched the PVRed program, Michael Symon made a dish with salmon, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, coconut milk and cilantro…

as it happened, I had a piece of salmon in the fridge that I’d taken out for my supper, and all the other items as well… I didn’t have sweet potato, but had a leftover baked potato so I substituted that…

  
had a few leftover roasted peppers and mushrooms from our family supper the night before, so warmed them up as well…

it was delicious…  

used half of the coconut milk and put the rest into the fridge…

this morning I took out another salmon fillet and decided to make the recipe again… I really liked it…

tonight I used Brussels sprouts and mushrooms instead of potatoes… delicious again…

  
simply cooked foods are my norm… cook the fish in a pan or bake it in the oven and then have some veggies to go along with it… don’t usually fancy my food up, lol…

I have really enjoyed this so may try to perk up a few other staples…

here’s the link to the recipe…

had fun taking pictures of the ever blooming orchid… this is a great close up… I have had this for months and the flowers are still lovely… some days I wonder if it is silk, lol…

  
life is good…

customer service, going the extra mile, Lobby on York, mashed potatoes, Rhapsody of the Seas, salmon

I wrote this post for work and thought I would share it with you…

Made me think of the service we received tonight at Lobby on York where the staff went out of their way to make the group dinner experience enjoyable for everyone who attended…

salmon with mashed potatoes and a lovely mustard sauce...

salmon with mashed potatoes and a lovely chipotle marinade…

they knew me by name when I arrived, and that I was the organizer… they took the list of what individuals had ordered and asked everyone’s name so they could provide the correct meal for the correct person…  it was another good customer service experience…  I am looking forward to doing something with them again…

that same kind of attention to detail happened on the Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Ship… if you mentioned a problem with a meal or service, within minutes someone up the food chain would be at your table to hear the problem and then deal with it…  I had wanted a tour of the galley and was told there wasn’t any space left, but after mentioning it to one of the dinner service staff, it was all organized and a cookbook produced by the chefs was autographed and presented to me the next night when we arrived for our dinner…

really, it’s all about going the extra mile…

gold, Juneau, salmon, whales

For some reason the time on the ship changed back an hour last night…

Cyndi and I got up very early and went on deck to watch for whales and see the sun rise amongst the mountains… gorgeous… and, we saw a whale… it was quite a ways off the side but she got a head and tail shot… then we went back to bed for a while…

had breakfast, sat in the solarium and got in a line waiting to head out into Juneau for gold panning, a salmon bake and shopping…

got on a little bus that took us out to a creek where we panned for gold… everyone found some… beautiful warm sun-shiny day, which is apparently not normal… then we headed to a salmon bake where we had salmon and baked beans, clam chowder, great hash brown casserole and fabulous lemonade… then to town to shop…

all shopped out and have a few lovely mementos of our visit to Juneau…

back on board for a nap and the dinner at Izumi (sushi), and we’ve finished off the night at a 70s dance party…
