i love to cook…
i absolutely love to cook but i actually have very little talent. i make up for my lack of talent with a very eager nature. if i see a recipe that looks amazing, i can’t wait to try it. sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. i’m also a terrible food blogger! usually, i’m half way through preparing the meal when i remember that i would have liked to blog it or i forget to take the picture before it’s all mixed. many things make me a bad blogger.
take last night for instance….
i made one of my favorite dishes – baked salmon with steamed green beans, baby spinach salad and seasoned potatoes. i probably make this once a week but i have yet to remember to blog it. my family LOVES this meal and i think it’s super healthy.
i do wish i had more talent but i guess that’s the way it goes. i follow the recipes and cookbooks and many food blogs and i turn out some great meals for my family. sometimes, i can even tweak it a bit to make more to my family’s tastes.
we’ve driven by this seafood restaurant often and i’ve been wanting to try it so this seemed like the perfect occasion to do so. it’s called king’s fish house. it has a great atmosphere and excellent food. michael had the wild british columbian dungeness crab platter and i had the wild alaskan red king crab platter. the food was absolutely amazing. i was stuffed by the crab alone but the sides were excellent so i tried to force as much down as i could (the true american way). i had a couple of gin and tonics which complimented the meal perfectly. because it was our anniversary, the restaurant gave us a free dessert. we chose the key lime pie which was perfection!
