Wednesday Odds and Ends
By Last night I was at a loss as to what to make for dinner. I knew two things: I wanted to use some salmon and I wanted to use up some of the fresh veggies in my fridge. So here’s what I did…
- I sautéed some thinly-sliced onions, fennel, tomatoes, and zucchini in olive oil, salting and peppering to taste .
- I deglazed the pan with a generous splash of white wine and dumped in some chicken stock, along with some tomato paste.
- I let everything simmer together for several minutes. I was basically just trying to make a vegged-up tomato-fennel broth, which is my favorite thing to bathe seafood in.
- I nestled four salmon fillets in the broth and covered everything until the fillets were cooked through.
- I served the salmon fillets, veggies and broth over rice. I topped everything with some fresh fennel fronds. O…M…G.
- Whenever I hear about the money woes of wealthy and/or upper-middle-class people it always strikes that those woes are due to extremely poor budgeting skills. And then I wonder why people who are poor or middle class are expected to live within in their means but rich people aren’t. I mean, isn’t that the weirdest thing?
- I actually only watched a handful of episodes of “Homicide” back in the day, but I remember it being a chronically low-rated critics’ darling. So I’m not sure why I found this Margaret Lyons article arguing that the show was underrated so compelling–I really have no dog in the “which is the best cop drama?” fight. Speaking of which, which is your favorite cop drama?
- Here’s a wonderful summation of #GamerGate.
- As always, Alicublog is a great read.
Here’s my latest:
