Salmon Japonais, a succulent piece of salmon bathed in a light, sweet sauce with a touch of curry nestled on thinly sliced potatoes that melted like butter. The smoothness of of the flavors all meld together until the last chew, a gentle kick from the curry…And then the refreshing coolness from the orange slices that garnished the dish.

Sorry, I am just having the worst time right now, I almost cut off my finger, yikes…..don’t have a job, can’t pay my truck payment, credit card payment…trying to pay it down and not using it, and when I saw those slugs I just had to say something. You did make me laugh saying it looked like slugs instead of worms, i’m laughing still. Thank you….

Micki,

Actually, I totally disagree. We’ve always thought it looked like slugs, hardly like worms!

And yes, it actually is pasta. Pasta whose shape didn’t quite go as planned. I will change the picture at some point, sorry you hate it so much.

Nothing like a little honesty, eh? *chuckles*

Is there anyway you could change that plate of food that looks like worms? I hate seeing it every time I come to your site. I know it is supposed to be pasta, don’t you ever look at it? It looks awful…. I keep waiting for it to change but it doesn’t.

Beans are my pennywise trick! This past week I made a big batch of indian spiced lentils that were super nutritious and fed us all week.

To keep my food spending under control, I go through every once in a while and see how much individual meals or items cost us. This week I broke down the organic chicken I use for lunch meat into price per ounce and was pleasantly surprised at how much I save by not buying pre-packaged additive free organic lunch meat. http://www.healthhomehappy.com/2009/08/affordable-organic-lunch-meat.html

Thanks for mentioning the peach preserves recipe!

Here’s my contribution for this week:

Emily @ Life in Cincinnati Cheese & Zucchini Frittata (http://lifeincincinnati.com/?p=1806) This week, I have a frugal, vegetarian frittata recipe that works great as a breakfast, lunch or dinner. It can easily be adapted to use whatever veggies you have on hand.

Homemade baby food, another great way to preserve the taste of summer…

Babies are precious and all the more so when they reinforce your own values by eating vigorously anything that comes out of your home garden. Baby Alastair is eight months old and eating us out of nectarines and vegetables…….
