  • Cooking salmon

    Just thought I’d post a quick note on my quick-and-easy (and preferred) method for cooking salmon. Salmon is probably my favorite fish, and nothing beats it when it’s fresh… anyway, here’s how I’ve been fixing it lately:

    • Turn the broiler on high. Move the oven rack up accordingly.
    • Line your broiler pan (or similar) with a sheet of aluminum foil. Turn the edges up to minimize the mess.
    • Spritz the foil with non-stick cooking spray. It makes things infinitely easier.
    • Prepare the salmon: I season it with seasoning salt, lemon pepper (if I have it), and dill. Simple.
    • Place it on the foil, and drizzle with olive oil.
    • Put it in the oven, cook for 4-5 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cut). Flip it, and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
    • Remove it to your plate, and eat.

    Simple, quick, and easy. And so good.

    Yeah, are we really doing this?

  • People over 30 should be dead

    I’d seen this before, floating around the net, and should’ve linked to it then; but now is as good a time as any: People over 30 should be dead.

    As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

    Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

    We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors!

    We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.

    You have to go read it all. Love it! :)
