I haven't been writing much lately, as most spare time at the computer has been dedicated to putting finishing touches on the grad school process (i.e. financial aid and professor meet-n-greets).
But I have still been eating.
One recent success was semi-homemade (though no relation to Sandra Lee) Salmon Burgers. The patties themselves were pre-prepared at Whole Foods; we just picked up 2, bought some toppings and brought them home. And while, yes, Whole Foods is no Bargain Basement, you can still get a fine dinner for two out of $20.
For extra flavor, I made a marinade from BBQ sauce, beer (equal parts), and maple syrup (just a few teaspoons) to coat the salmon patties in while we baked up some thick russet potato fries.
I wanted to grill the burgers out on our patio (which has nice ambiant lighting from the annual Sparkle Party), but there was no charcoal to be found, so we did them on top of the stove.
The fries were seasoned with sea salt, the burgers were DIY with toppings, and everything was scrumptious!
