awesome, Connie.
So Dad's got a bladder infection, sigh. They're really common in the elderly, and contribute to dementia. He seems okay, though. Still, we're taking him to Chicago/Wisconsin for a week, and I suspect it's going to be a stressful time.
I've never heard of PEO!
I do not understand why some days I run and it's not so bad (I mean, it still sucks, in that it's running, but...) and other days I can only do a fraction of what I could the time before! It makes no sense. :(
(a) Bodies are weird like that and (b) progress in general kinda goes that way for everything.
Molecular gastronomy update (haven't done one of those in a while): attempt #2 at Mango Foam, using pureed mango instead of Apricot Mango Juice Blend is better but maybe too thick for the siphon. Not done with this recipe yet.
Speaking of recipes, I recently found an old recipe of my mom's for poached salmon, written in her own hand. It's poached in half and half, which sounds both decadent and delicious. I must try it one of these days.
Intriguing!
Here's the recipe:
The Easiest Poached Salmon
1 salmon filet
1/2 to 3/4 cup half and half
1/2 tsp chives, basil, or chopped fresh dill
Salt and pepper if you like
Bake for 30 minutes, occasionally spooning some of the half and half over the salmon
(Note my mom's use of the Oxford comma)
Ooh, I like easy and that does sound delicious. I would never have thought to try something like that.
I'm thinking of leeks and fennel to go with, but then I often think of that combination.
For those not on facebook, I'm staying up way late watching a crazy storm, mostly from my front porch. And I just saw a fox catch a squirrel in the front yard next door. WILD!
And my roof is leaking, but not *inside* yet. I can hear dripping where it shouldn't be. Another phone call for tomorrow.
My mother is a PEO, although not so involved since they moved to VA. She has suggested Ii look into it once or twice when I have moved to a new town. Cotty College was founded by a member and they still are associated and give big scholarships to go there.
