It’s summer!! Time for swimming, baseball, fireworks, gardening, and all that jazz! Admittedly, not my favorite season, because I’m not a fan of hot weather, but I really really love the whole concept of al fresco eating, or eating outdoors. It’s fun to grill everything, and I do mean everything. A friend recently suggested I try grilling romaine, which I can’t wait to do. It’s on my list. I’ll probably blog about it.
Anyway, one of my favorite foods in all the world is wild caught salmon. This is something that even just a few years ago, I really never thought I would say. If I’m being really honest, I hated almost all seafood for most of my life, with the exception of canned tuna and some sushi. And salmon just topped the list of fish I thought I hated. It’s weird. But now it’s kind of my favorite and I could eat it every day.
So. Grilled salmon. I haven’t actually made it yet this summer, so this is more of a wishful thinking post, but once I go grocery shopping again, I’ll be grilling some salmon, romaine, and probably peaches with cinnamon because that’s another thing that rocks my socks. And we’ll eat al fresco while listening to the Brewers lose games they should easily have won, like Sunday against the Cards or yesterday against the Royals. <– That one really made me mad. Throwing one over on my man Hader isn’t nice.
