Salmon...

... is delicious.

Why am I bringing this up? Well, I just had some salmon! Parchment baked salmon to be precise. It had lemons and rosemary and mmmm. It was silky smooth and just wonderful.
It's a very simple recipe as well, which makes it even better for the ones preparing it. ;)
Here's one version à la WholeFoods: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/1627

It's also good for sushi. Do you like sushi? What kind? I'm a maki (sushi roll) person myself.
Of course, salmon in sushi is usually raw, so do take care of what kind of sushi you get if you can't or prefer not to eat raw fish!

Happy APA Month!

To those that don't know what that means: Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage month!
May is APA month. It started in 1977 as a week to celebrate Asian/Pacific Islander heritage.
In 1990, President H. W. Bush made it a month.
The month of May was chosen because on May 7, 1843, the first Japanese immigrants came to the US. The transcontinental railroad was also finished in May, on the 10th of 1869. Hopefully you already know that the majority of the the tracks were laid down by Chinese immigrants.
