Las week, I participated in a yoga benefit for Back on My Feet at Dhayana Yoga in Fairmount. I haven't been to yoga in a few weeks, so it was really fun, especially since the money raised went to an organization I loved and a bunch of friends were there.

We also celebrated John's birthday this weekend! He wanted to do a pub golf, which is essentially a pub crawl with a golf theme with teams. We didn't follow the normal rules, so it really was just a pub crawl, but I had braided pigtails and my argyle compression socks on, ready to golf/drink the day away. We had lots of drinks and some food late at night (the veggie burger at Good Dog hit the spot like whoah). All in all, it was a fun celebration!

Last week, I also learned that I can enjoy salmon cooked. Growing up, my mom would cook us fish frequently and I ate it, but one day, I realized I didn't like it. Since then, I had nevered cook fish for John and me. I adore sushi and raw fish, but don't like the texture of it cooked. I ordered a food delivery box and one of the meals was salmon. I decided to keep an open mind (and undercook it a bit) and lo and behold, I really enjoyed it. It feels like my dinner options are so much wider now that I won't be choosing from our normal protein options. Yay for keeping an open mind!
Anything that you've learned to love as you got older?
Try grilling or baking salmon coated in a horseradish/apricot-preserve sauce. You can find lots of variants on the interwebs, and it's tasty and easy to make.
ReplyDeleteThe sauce sounds strange, but is awesome, and helps keep the salmon from drying out even if you do overcook it a bit. The apricots caramelize on the salmon creating a nice sweet crunch on the edges of the filet. The horseradish provides a subtle bite, and helps prevent the sweetness of the apricots from being cloying.
Good luck on the BQ attempt this fall!
Trying out new things is always great but making it a part of birthday celebration, that is a tremendous idea. Now I know what I will be doing on my next birthday. Thank you for sharing your experience.
