In the mood for a quick fixing?

Make dinner in 21 minutes!
Follow steps carefully.
Expect pleasing results!

Preheat the pan and oil it lightly

Sprinkle with salt and pepper

The original package

Put salmon on hot pan
         seasoned side down
         then season the top side

While waiting for the salmon to get browned at the bottom, wash the asparagus,
remove the hardened tops, then cut into halves

When the edges of the salmon changes color,
turn it over and brown the other side
( about 3 minutes each side)

Remove cooked salmon,

Use remaining oil ( may add some more)
Add some garlic if you like

Stir fry the asparagus in the pan, season with salt and pepper

Plating

             Salmon ( put a lemon wedge)
             Sautéed asparagus
             Chips
             Salsa

Invite a friend!

My good old faithful: salt and pepper

You can buy the salmon portions from Costco,
I like how they are individually wrapped and can be kept fresh.
Enjoy!

59 and holding!

Then again, ain’t so bad crossing over the threshold.

Social Security beckoning from yonder!

All and all, it’s been a blissful 59.
Husband, kids, friendships; love abounds.

God’s grace surrounds.

On the materialistic side; career, houses, cars, ovens, and food processers.
Waffle maker, German knives, and every kitchen trinket.

You get the idea what has become important in one's life.

Don't forget to count the numerous foods that come out from the kitchen.

The latest being cookies with nuts! Best to grab one before they disappear.

Photographing food and flowers has become the latest thing!

All the threads and paths treaded have weaved quite a nice picture (place).

Wondering how the transition into 60 will be?

Feels like a crossroad.
Is this the new mid-life?

Beautiful cake made by my
son in law Taylor!
He's quite a talent!

Happy Birthday

Menu: baked rosemary chicken with peppers.
           chef's salad

           CAKE!
