Cooking
Following Matt's health scare a couple of weeks ago (it's ok; he's fine), there's been more of a focus on eating 'well'.
For him, that's meant lots of salmon. In lots of ways.
Tonight, salmon & noodles. Modified from this recipe, rice noodles tossed with soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, sriracha, mint & toasted sesame seeds, chilled & topped with cucumber & in Matt's case, just-barely cooked salmon.
It was good, but could have used more sauce. Something to remember for next time.

Poached Ginger-Lime Salmon on Kaffir Lime Rice Dear Barbara; I know your appetite has taken a vacation, and your stomach is playing games without telling you the rules. It's my hope this fragrant & fresh dish will entice your appetite to come back,...
- Grilled Salmon Salad
Let me tell you; this 'no dairy for three weeks thing' is already getting on my nerves. Planning a menu for an entire week...without cheese? Harder than I thought. Matt lucks out, though...he gets to try out some recipes I'd book-marked just...
- Sesame Noodles With Prosciutto
From the most recent issue of Food & Wine...the whole issue is dedicated to Asian cuisine. So while Matt made sushi for me (we seem to have settled on 'sushi Sundays'), I prepared this dish for him. Chow mein noodles, cooked and tossed with...
