Last Night's Dinner: Salmon, Leeks, Mashed Potatoes, PBM Squares


Sometimes I spend all day on a Sunday dinner. Other times, I got like an hour. I like making dinners from scratch - I don't remember the last time I made a frozen meal. Actually I do, and it was a microwavable lunch in junior high. I don't like tasting freezer in my food. I don't like reading a 50-line ingredient list 90% of which I don't understand.

You only get one body, you might as well take a care of it, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way perfect in taking care of my body. I make my mistakes, overindulge once in a while, get super lazy a lot.. a... lot. I really try though! When I have an opportunity to try and do something good for my body, I take it. Like trying to include veggies in my meals. Trying not to eat fast food. Trying not to eat canned/preserved foods. Chocolate bars. Oh man, it's amazing what some people eat on a regular basis. Anyways...

So fresh food it is. Just my personal choices, not trying to preach to anyone.

Last night my lovely brought me some salmon, white wine, chicken broth, fresh thyme. I had some enormous leeks from Spud - an organic/local food delivery service. I get a veggie delivery every 2 weeks, extremely convenient!

Here's the result

[Salmon with Onions, Tomatoes and Tarragon]+[Mashed Potatoes]
[
Leeks Braised with Wine and Garlic]+[Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares]


Everything turned out pretty damn good! The potates and peanut butter marshmallow squares were left over from a few days before.
