With the weather being the way it is, even though I adore a warm, nourishing bowl of food each day, sometimes a nice salad (cool or room temperature) suits my fancy.
Wild salmon in so difficult to find – GOOD wild salmon, I should say, that when I see it, I grab it and take full advantage of the yumminess and the health encyclopedia advantages.
Plus, an amazing aged Gouda cheese? Good god, save me now!
