Dinners with George

George prepared some delicious meals last week. We had everything from green curry chicken to scrambled eggs and toast. We tried a new salmon recipe that we both enjoyed and decided to add it to the "regular dishes" list. I've included the recipe at the bottom. It's really easy.

I have a sore foot (which is the reason for the cooking holiday) and George has been busy studying for an up coming exam this week so we've tag teamed dinners. It's been a week of looking in the frig, freezer or cupboard and throwing something together. So far so good chicken pesto pizza, chili and good old scrambled eggs yet again. They never get old in our house. We didn't plan the kitchen team work but helping each other has helped each of us as well. George gets back to his studying quicker and I'm not on my foot as long.

Friday is his last day of work before Christmas holidays. We've decided to go out to a fancy restaurant to celebrate. I'm usually in casual clothes and flip flops so it will be a nice change to get dressed up.

Here's the recipe.
I received it from a friend but I believe it originally came from a Nigella Lawson cookbook.

Spiced Salmon

1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. cayenne powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cocoa powder (optional)

Mix the above ingredients together.
Dredge salmon fillets in mixture.
Wrap in foil.
Bake or grill

Hey I recognize that recipe! Our power is back on. Can't wait to find a time when we can both chat again. Have fun at your special night out. Maybe a picture of the two of you?
