(because if you're like me, heating oil in your skillet scares you.)
Pretty much, here's the deal:
1) Take salmon fillets and douse them with some olive oil
2) Cover them with a mixture that is one part cornmeal to one part parmesan cheese (the grocery store, circular container kind is just fine,) and mix in whatever spices you want. I use a hefty amount of garlic salt and basil. You want them to be completely coated, but not lumpy or thickly coated.
3) Meanwhile, heat up your skillet on medium-high heat.
4) Once it's hot, spray the CRAP out of it with cooking spray. I use butter-flavored. Yum =)
5) Place the fillets in the bubbly, already hot cooking spray. Spray the whole operation with cooking spray.
6) Wait a minute or two, then flip the fillets over and spray the whole operation again. Wait another minute or two before flipping the fillets over one more time.
7) Turn the heart down to medium and cover the fillets, cooking for about ten minutes and turning them every so often. You can spray more cooking spray at this point, if you feel like it.
Once the salmon is cooked all the way through, you eat them. And your boyfriend marvels at you. Oh, and you accompany them with angel hair pasta and roasted brussel sprouts. SOGOOD.
It's wet and disgusting outside, and I actually had more work than I could finish before lunchtime, which is kind of exciting, considering how slow the winter was. With any luck, I'll need to start blogging when I get home!
Also, the other day our fridge crapped out for a brief second, and everything started melting and we freaked out and called/texted/emailed (yes, all three) our landlord. But then we turned up the coldness and it kicked back on and it's been working fine, since. However, last night when we decided to the run dishwasher, it decided to make this high pitched whine-filled clatter about halfway through its cycle. So...now we get to call the landlord about that. Our landlord loves us. Good thing he's a 20-something, pothead. No really...it's a good thing.
Nate's Macro/Wide-Angle lense from for his iPhone (part of his Valentine's Day gifts) from PhotoJoJo came over the weekend -- I had it sent to work, because I'm sneaky! -- so I picked it up yesterday and brought it home for him. The Macro lense works like a charm. Unfortunately, I didn't read the FAQ, and the fact that the iPhone 3G/S is curved on the back causes you to be able to see the Wide-Angle lense in the lefthand bottom corner of the photos when you attach it. Fortunately, it's a miniscule amount of black and my boyfriend can fix anything in Photoshop. It attaches by a small magnetic ring that you stick to your phone, and it comes with two rings, so we will be able to use it with both our phones. All the pics he took are on his phone, so I'll post one when I can get ahold of them.
I got this 'Txting Kills' thumb ring from Allstate Insurance in one of my freebie emails a little while back. You can get up to five, so I got one for me and one for Nate. I like it, partially because it actually fits me (they have different sizes) and partially because it's something I believe strongly in. Phones are hazardous to driving.
Also, I was looking for a water bottle for a while and bought this one (by Aladdin from Target) a little while ago. I really like it, because I can drink out of it like a water bottle or like a cup. And I can fit regular ice in it, because the top unscrews. It's genius!
