Long time, no see.


So. It's been a long time since I've posted. I was very busy in the end of April, but since then haven't had a whole lot to do. I tried a few new recipes, none of which turned out spectacularly. By any measure. My failed attempt at individual strawberry mousse cakes were something of a joke (it's always a good laugh when you don't ready the gelatine properly before attempting to incorporate it into the strawberry.) Try two comes on Friday, so the completed results, if acceptable, will be posted probably on Saturday, as that will be the day they will be consumed.
Today my mother bought some incredible salmon at Wegman's. Very possibly the best grocery store in the world. You could tell the quality of the salmon simply by smell, texture, and color. Not even putting into account the buttery taste. However, we decided to cook it. Plan of attack: cedar plank. It was our first time using it, and boy was it great. It took longer than normal. This is because you have to soak the plank before use for between 30-40 minutes, and then cookthe salmon on low in the grill. What resulted was a moist, tender, salmon that was absolutely delicious It flaked perfectly. Oh, before putting it on the grill, we rubbed it with dill, then brushed on an olive oil, lemon zest mixture.
More foods to come! As well as many more pictures. Bonsoir.
