day 20

After working and working out I had to run to the store to pick up groceries.  It was not fun finding out when I got home that the chicken chow mien I planned for tonight's meal was supposed to be in the slow cooker for 8 1/2 hours.  I quickly decided to make it a salmon night.  I wasn't too excited for that because I am not a big fish fan.  The only reason why I decided to put it on the list is because I thought maybe if I tried a nicely cooked fish instead of fish fingers, or something like that, I might want to eat it every once in a while.

While making the fish I also realized that the recipe wanted me to broil the salmon.  I called my mom because I had never done that before.  She said, "Just bake the fish and put tin foil around it."  So I did as she instructed and when I checked on the fish it looked raw.  I poked it with a knife and the piece just fell off.  It was like cutting through butter, smooth.

So before I tried the salmon I gave some to my son (I know I am mean).  He promptly spit it out by making a face and sticking out his tongue.  Even after seeing this I figured I might as well try it.  The first bite was gross.  Also the second, third and so on till I finished my piece.  I know your thinking, "Why didn't you stop eating it"?  I will tell you, it is because I didn't want to waste it.  The salmon cost me $10 so I was trying to get my moneys worth.  I  think, no I know that tomorrows chicken chow mien will be a lot better!
