It was nice this past weekend... I got a two day break from cooking (in case you didn't know, where we live isn't a place that gets delivery so I make dinner... every night. This is a big change from Chicago where I had www.grubhub.com bookmarked). Paul enjoys cooking and made two good meals for us! One of which was salmon - Red Copper Salmon from Alaska to be more specific. I am not a seafood person... I'm not sure if in the Midwest it smelled too fishy or if it is the overall texture, but it's never been my thing. Being on the West Coast now where we're supposed to have access to some of the world's best I thought it best that I keep an open mind and give it a shot. Paul made (actually taught me) how to make Salmon... he grilled it on cedar planks with a dijon mustard/brown sugar glaze. I have to say that it was a positive experience. I did like it. Now, I wouldn't get it at a resturant and give up a good steak for fish - but I'm willing to continue to try, so that's a step in the right direction!

(Obviously this is a staged photo op... I did it just right!)
