Buttering, Eating, and Sipping

SALMON FILLET with MUSHROOMS, SPINACH & SUN DRIED TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Tonight as I sit here and write this post I am sipping on a "mediocre" chardonnay... I am not the biggest Chard fan but with the meal I was making tonight it was between this and Sauv. Blanc and to be honest they are just too sweet for my liking. THIS chard is a convenient wine to buy it is the Cupcake brand... medium oak some fruit note but nothing I would order off a menu.

This fine evening I got to bake my SALMON FILLET... It was beautiful!!!! I had everything laid out and bought some fresh spinach on my way home from work from Baron's along with a bottle of Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette. I chopped, I sliced and I put some much needed "LOVE" into this meal. All was going great. I made a little spinach salad with some sauteed mushrooms..Butter always makes things so much better!!!! Then the main course... well with 3 minutes remaining on the oven clock I remember that I was supposed to make rice!!! Mother of Pearls! Was I upset... I tried to make magic happen but there is just no way that 3 minutes can turn into 20 minutes so no rice... I had to toast Italian bread.. It was a substitute but the presentation wasn't as nice.

Makes me wonder whether investing in a rice cooker maybe be necessary? I would be interested to hear what you think on the subject and what brands are the most reliable.

In the end.. everyone enjoyed the fish! I am so happy. I am stuffed happy and now sipping on some vino.. I love that everyone is blogging about weight loss and exercise AND here I sit buttering eating and sipping.

So here's to you who like to eat and be merry:)
