This evening

I am writing a take-home midterm tonight. It's an essay that analyzes the annual review, more specifically the financial review, of Broadview Press, a publishing company. Should be a riveting evening for sure.

We're having salmon for dinner tonight, on the BarBQ. I don't know how my new oven works and I am trying to figure out how to turn on the self-clean option before I use it.

Dan and I aren't the biggest rice people you've ever met so when we were doing our big shopping trip, we weren't sure what to get. What's the difference between Basmati rice and Jasmine rice? We didn't know so we purchased Basmati. And we wanted to be healthy and steer away from simple white rices however when we tried brown rice we didn't like it at all... ultimately a bad texture.

So this evening we will try a wild rice mix-- one from the Uncle Ben's collection which is new for us as well. Any comments on this?

Salmon and rice. Probably a salad and some baked zucchini too. Should be good.

We USED to eat Basmati all the time.
Now we the only rice we eat is the sticky rice found in our home made California rolls.

We have a HUGE bag of rice here if you would care to take some home.

Wild rice... not big fans here.

Salmon. Big Fans here. How did you prepare it?

Any news on the party?

Hi R,
I would love to take you up on your rice offer... we just purchased basmati rice though-- is yours different than this? Thanks R.

The salmon this evening was an experiment. I rubbed some minced garlic and basil into the fillet before broiling it. Oh yes, I put just the slightest bit of butter on top of the steak as well. Turned out pretty good.
