Cooking with T

So now that the wedding blog is out of the way I can get back to the food blogs. Most of my life isn't all that interesting to write about, so if you want any new material to read here then you will just have to put up with food stuff.

It figure T wouldn't mind me adding the odd photo of her crazy cooking skills too, so from time to time I will throw some of her culinary masterpieces in too.

Right, well I had better be quick with this. I have some cinnamon rolls in the oven and hope to have this blog all done before they are done. (Hopefully I will find time to do a bread blog soon and will be sure to give a cinnamon roll review as part of that.)

Slow Baked Salmon

OK first up there is the slow baked salmon. This was a neat looking idea from a blog I have been looking at a bit lately called steamykitchen. It is a pretty entertaining read at times and the photography is really good. The dish simply involved laying the salmon on a bed of sliced oranges and onions and baking it at a very low temperature. The salmon tasted pretty good, but the oranges were sadly lacking in flavour and juice, and the onions didn't really do it for me. The asparagus was wonderful though as was my new favourite vegetable, broccolini. A friend of T's (Kate) who was staying with us a few weeks back introduced us to it and I just can't get enough of it. YUUUUMMMMMM,

Bacon Wrapped Halibut with Asparagus and Lemon Mayo

This has been T's favourite meal I have made her so far (and a really simple meal too). The lemon mayo was nice and tangy, but the asparagus and fish worked well to offset the tanginess (just like Jamie Oliver said it would).

Oh well the cinnamon rolls are ready now, so I guess I didn't meet my target. Still I am have the other photos uploaded already so may as well continue.

Satay Chicken Curry

My wonderful wife made this for dinner one night recently, and she didn't use a box. It was a kind of Thai inspired chicken curry. It was scrumptous. I even enjoyed taking it to work for lunch the next day as well.

Tandori Chicken with Sour Cream and Chive Asparagus and Perogies

Yet another T creation, this time she still didn't use a box, but made good use of a bag of perogies from the frozen food section of the supermarket. As you may be able to tell there is plenty of asparagus around here in Vancouver at the moment and we have been making the most of it. I can't believe I disliked this wonderful vegetable for so many years.

Well that will have to do for today. The cinnamon rolls are smelling jolly good and I can't wait a minute longer. So I am not even going to bother spell checking this blog entry, you can just live with any poor spelling or grammatical errors that may have made their way in.
