Baked halibut
Steamed kale
quinoa
These are becoming two of Bride's newest favorites. She even fries kale to make a crunchy snack-like item!
I'm not so enthused - kale seems like dry-land seaweed, quinoa pales beside brown rice expertly cooked.

I sautee several cloves of garlic in a little olive oil, add the kale and half a cup of vegetable broth, cover and let it cook for 7 minutes. Then, I remove the lid and continue cooking until the kale is wilted and most of the liquid is absorbed. Then, toss in a handful of pine nuts, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and splash with a little red wine or balsamic vinegar. Not dry or seaweed-like at all. And personally, I think quinoa has more flavor than brown rice. When I do make rice, I prefer brown basmati rice.

Taffy and I follow the G.I. Diet, which has use choosing foods low on the Glycemic Index.
Works great for us, and it is easy to live on forever. Includes a bit of wine and some dark chocolate, so no feeling of sacrifice/deprivation.
That, and we live in the mountains, so just going to get the mail is a daily hike... up hill... both ways...

I swear I feel pathetic next to you guys... Don't feel pathetic. In my house we have not done anything "fancy" lately, especially since it is "back to school" time. Sigh.

NGB's metabolizm is slowing, so she wanted to cut 15 pounds. I'll miss watching her walk away a little... but, if she's happy with herself, I'll be happier with her. If you talk like this all the time, I can tell she's a lucky girl.

Salmon tonight, and it's embarrassingly easy:
Pick out 1- 1/4 lbs. of good-looking sockeye salmon. Assemble the following ingredients:
1/3 C. grated parmesan
1/2 t. worcestershire
3 T. horseradish (not the creamy kind)
1/3 C. mayo
1/2 C. Panko bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix the first four ingredients into a paste and spread over the top of the salmon. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the salmon. Bake 10 minutes per inch. (Use a cast iron pan if you have one.)
I got this recipe from a couple of 'beach neighbors' in Myrtle Beach last month, whose son has a cooking show on YouTube. I initially balked at the idea of mayo and horseradish as a mix, but the two ingredients complement each other well.
Very yummy, and it's good hot or cold - try it and enjoy!

So, O'Brien hurried to McShea's house when he heard the bad
news, and found his lifelong friend clearly facing his final
struggle. McShea beckoned him over and placed in O'Brien's
hands a miniature wooden barrel.
"Jemmy," said the dying man, "this is whisky that has been
aging in this oak for the fifty years since me wedding - it
must be as smooth as angels' wings! When I'm gone, I want
you to pour every drop over me grave, so I'll enjoy it on my
journey to Paradise. Would you do me that personal service?"
O'Brien, tearing up and barely able to speak, replied, "Tim,
it would be an honor to send you off that way. But could I
suggest that to make it even more personal, you allow me
to strain this fine whisky through me kidneys first?"
I'll be laughing on all of your graves when I'm 80...
Kiddo, given the 20-year difference in our ages, you have my express
permission to laugh on my (recently dug) grave when you're 80!
(Just leave out the part involving the whisky....)
