fish bones

Have you ever bought fish with the bone still in it? Did you have any idea what to do at that point?

Mike went to the store earlier this week and decided to buy a salmon steak, which I attempted to make last night for dinner. When I took it out of the deli package, there was a bone still in it. Yuck...

I tried to cut the salmon out of the bone and skin, which kind of just grossed me out. I've decided I really don't like making fish at home. I love ordering it and eating it when someone else makes it, but I am a big baby when it comes to cooking it myself. I also never feel like it is cooked enough either, so it usually turns out gross by the time I am finished.

Once I finally got this thing de-boned and de-skinned, I used a sweet and spicy rub and then broiled it. I used a recipe from eatliverun since I had all the ingredients on hand, and it seemed super simple. It was a very easy recipe to put together, and the flavor was pretty good. I just worried the whole time that it wasn't cooked well enough.

Luckily, I made a monster side of sauteed veggies, which I piled high on my plate. I used green cabbage, yellow peppers, onions, and my new favorite - Swiss Chard, with some olive oil and sea salt and pepper.

I loved the veggies, they were perfectly wilted, but with plenty of crunch.

After eating dinner, I remained on the couch, doing my yearly training requirements for the hospital until Mike got home. I am such a party animal.

This morning I headed out for a run, but I really didn't have a lot of time. My legs were pretty tired from yesterday's run, so I took today really easy and slow. I would actually call it more of a jog than a run. The weather was much cooler, and I really just wanted to stretch my legs out and get in some form of exercise today.

I came back to the house, showered, and then headed back out the door for work. I grabbed a glass of chocolate milk (chocolate sun warrior, skim milk) for the drive in, since my stomach was growling before I even woke up this morning.

We have another pretty busy weekend with me working at the hospital a little bit and going to a retirement party for a friend in Greenville. Sunday we will be going to church, then to a luncheon, then back to the house to clean and get ready for lots of visitors that are coming for Easter.

I hope you all have a great weekend!
