MARRIED TO A NON-FOODIE

Yeah, yeah I know what you’re thinking. I am a slacker! No, I still have not setup the router at our house and I really have no excuse for not doing so. I just decided to do so many other cool things this weekend! I was very busy!! I made bread, I made yogurt, I made deodorant, I made face wash, I made raw vegan cookies, I made J’s awesomeness cookies, plus I made breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday and did laundry, and went to church, and went grocery shopping, and worked out, and visited my sister and her family, and went out with friends and….i could keep going but I think you get the drift! Busy, busy, busy! So therefore, no router setup which means still not internet access for my system which means still no pictures for you all. The sad thing is, I am taking pics and I think I am getting better at it! Of course I don’t have the discerning eye of a true photographer but I am liking my photos!

Anyhoo, tonight’s meal was ennnh ok. It was healthy which is my goal right now and it was tastie but in a weird way. The recipe is for Salmon Rosti from Eating Well. For those of you not knowing what rosti is, it is actually a Swiss (German) dish where it is a patty made out of mostly potatoes. As you can tell from the name this particular recipe for Rosti contained Salmon. It calls for canned salmon and usually I don’t mind canned salmon but I decided to try a different brand and whoooooa can we say fishay! It was a wild caught sockeye salmon, skinless and boneless in the can. And yeaaah fishay, that is really all I can say! I don’t typically purchase sockeye canned and I don’t think I will in the future. The hubs only gave it a 3.5 stars which isn’t horrible….he liked it he just said they were fishie. And boy were they fishie – almost overpoweringly fishie. But the potatoes were REALLY good!! Or maybe I just haven’t had real potatoes in such a long time that they tasted so good that I was willing to overlook the fishie taste. They were just nice and salty and crunchy and potato-y!! Hmmmm I am almost salivating thinking about them right now! The sauce that accompanied the Rosti was very good as well and really countered the fishie effect.

Well, just a quick Thursday night post for y'all. The hubs chose not to eat this evening's meal as he was REALLY hungry when we got home from the gym and he just couldn't wait for me to cook it so he had cereal. Worked for me as I would have had to make two versions, one with black beans and one without as he is still in his anti-bean thing. Although I am sure he will always be on the anti-bean train. I think he should try them, he would like them but he is hung up and has an opinion based on I don't know what and he refuses to even try it. I think I am starting to accept it but part of me still wants to hide it in his meals and see if he will eat them!

It is snowing in Atlanta - woo hoo! Being from Massachusetts the snow isn't that big of a deal especially when you are only getting basically a dusting but I enjoy it for two reasons.
