Food for Thought...

Obviously food is on my mind a lot. So much so that one of my Facebook friends made the observation that my stomach leads my thinking. I guess I must post a lot either about food that is on my mind or that I am hungry.

Since it is a lot on my mind, and I will admit it is - especially at work when I am limited to what I have brought to eat - that is why I decided to start posting "Food for Thought" entries on this blog. What better way to bring up the subject of food?

Why do I save recipes in a file that I want to try but then never do? I know why. Because so many times I have tried a recipe, it didn't turn out the way I thought it would and was highly disappointed. I still think it ought to be a goal of mine to try at least one recipe per month. I had a supervisor at work that once did this. She made it a big production though -inviting friends and family, having drinks and dessert to go with it. Now that is too risky for me. For my husband, that is a different story. He has the knack for compiling seasonings and flavors.

This past week he made salmon with a balsamic vinegar marinade (I don't remember all the ingredients) and grilled avocados. To go with this he had seasoned red potatoes and fresh broccoli served w/cheese. Was the yum. Savannah loves salmon and asked for seconds! Of course he does not remember the ingredients as he just whipped this together one night, so unfortunately to ask me for the recipe? Well I'm afraid you had to be there.
