Great Meal

So I've been really lame about cooking for the past few weeks partly because I have been working full time and partly because I've just been really disorganized. So I have to post a picture of the gorgeous and really tasty meal that I made tonight with Blair's help. Blair always makes fun of me for using adjectives like "gorgeous" for food, but I think that a tasty meal is even better when it is pretty. Kind of weird, I know. Tonight we had firecracker salmon with steamed zucchini and polenta medallions. I didn't anticipate liking the salmon very much, but it was very tasty and had just enough spice. I'm trying to accommodate Blair's love of spiciness more, but I'm a big wuss when it comes to spices. I'm getting better, though. And if you've never had polenta--so good! It's made of cornmeal and is very creamy and just good stuff. You can make it from scratch, but it takes an hour or something ridiculous, so I always buy a package of the premade stuff if they have it when I'm at Target. So here's the picture:
The picture doesn't really do it justice, but take my word for it that it was both really tasty and aesthetically pleasing. I'm thinking I'll do a post later this week of some good recipes that I have found, including Honey Curry Chicken and my favorite summer salad for Linsey. I might throw in some of the good salmon recipes that I have found recently as well as the Lime Cheesecake Bars that I made for the family party on Sunday and the Custard Pie that I've been wanting to make...
