Delaware Chews Salmonanny

NO NO NO...Not Salmonella...

 

 

For some with age comes high Cholesterol.  Doc prescribed giant fish oil pills, and some other stuff  that you need a prescription for.   I decided to just eat the Omega 3's in its natural form in a piece of Salmon.  Once a week is my goal.  I like the Sockeye best but need to flavor it up some.  By now you should know I like it easy and I have found nothing as easy and tasty as this so far.

 

SALMONANNY

 

 

 

 

I picked up the Char Crust at the local market and have used it several times and there is plenty left for more.

 

 

This is so simple.  Preheat your oven to 350.  Cover your broiler pan with aluminum foil. Portion out your salmon per person with the skin still on and down. Just sprinkle the herb mix on top.  Bake for 15-20 minutes for medium rare to well done.  I like it at about 18 minutes.

Seems to me that Asparagus goes so well with this and the timing is easy and perfect.  So I almost always make this combination. 

 

 

 

I place the asparagus in a sauté pan with a little water, pat of butter, and a sprinkle of Crazy Jane's.  I bring the water to a simmer, and by the time the fish is finished 

with a toss or two the asparagus has a nice tasty glaze.  If you need more food  put a potato in the microwave when you have 8 minutes left on your timer.

 

If you delicately move your spatula between the meat of the fish and the skin, the skin will stick to the aluminum and honestly you can just lift the skinned fish.  Later I just remove the aluminum and don't even have to wash the broiler pan.

 

Sadly on this evening all our plates where in the dishwasher so all you get of the finished product is on a paper plate.  OY

 

No worries...It tastes just as good on China as it does on China paper plates.

 

 

 

 

Delaware News

Admittedly I have been a little lame with my camera since bringing home MaraBella.

However there is some interesting news.

Way back in October of 2011 I took a hike on the NYC Highline and posted a series of images from that day.  Recently it has been receiving a lot of hits on the blog which I am a little suspicious about and cannot quite figure out.  As of this post it has received 261 hits...more than any of my posts by a long shot.  The next highest is 120 on Nudity and Feathers...go figure...a post from the Hamilton Sculpture Gardens, and then 77 on the Ace Café post from London, England.

Here is my favorite image from the Highline post...curious if it will receive similar hits.

 



Delaware Views Anew

On Sunday Funday I showed you the little gazebo in the Washington Crossing Park.  Here it is again after some artistic post processing.

 

It is just fun to do.

Delaware Considers Common Cents or No Sense at all

Years ago I raised a Shepherd for Seeing Eye in Morrisville.

They suggested feeding Purina One, easily purchased at my local market.

I continued provided that food for my Casper, the little Westie who lived 18 years.  Casper did not make it to 18 without some issues which included allergies.

Yesterday I got some fancy, expensive food at the hardware store. Pure Vita Bison Entree

NO CORN MEAL

That appealed to me.

 

Is it common sense to think that the better the food, the better the health of the dog, and the fewer vet visits and bills.  I'm not sure. But that is my story and for now I'm sticking to it.

She likes it!

 

I'm pretty sure she would like Purina One too.

 

 

Delaware Views Hues of Red

 

Nature gave us a big tease this weekend:

blue skies, sunny and warm.

Took a nice long hike in the Washington Crossing State Park.

Had to go to the Jersey side since the loop on the PA side wasn't even plowed.

Not much red going on there so in the process of cleaning up the archives I found some.

 



Sunday Funday

Beautiful blue sky day with temps reaching into the 50s. 

The River is mostly clear and flowing freely. 

  Let the melt down begin.

 

Delaware Chews Baked Macananny at Home

Everyone loves a good Mac & Cheese.   Well, at least I DO!

You can make your Mac & Cheese complicated with a variety of cream sauces and/or a variety of cheeses.  I like to make things as easy and tasty as possible.  I grew up with VELVEETA Mac & Cheese and to this day after trying recipe after recipe found in magazines and books, I always go back to this easy recipe created in my own home with  memories of what my mother made for  school lunches. 

 

BAKED MACANANNY

 

 

• 2 cups elbow macaroni
• 10 oz Velveeta cubed small
• 2 scallions chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• Italian Season Bread Crumbs

 

 

Preheat oven to 375 ...I usually do this about the time the water starts to boil.

Cook Macaroni according to box directions.

While elbows are cooking, in a large bowl, mix together cheese, scallions, and egg.

Add cooked macaroni and mix well.

Add milk and mix well

Pour the Mac and Cheesy mix into a casserole dish...I use glass.

Sprinkle top with bread crumbs.  4-6 servings depending on making it a meal or side.

Bake for 35 - 40 minutes.
