Mel started me on watching this video podcast. It is wonderful. The guy running it seems to be an average guy, which makes it less threatening. In fact I recently saw him try to melt chocolate in the microwave like I did. I felt like I found a kindred spirit in this journey of learning how to cook. I highly recommend going to his site gardenfork.tv and check it out. Some of his videos are on YouTube, but not all.

Orange Marmalade Salmon

I tried a new rub for Salmon. It was sweet and delicious.

2-3 Tablespoons Orange Marmalade
few squirts Dijon Mustard
dash of hot sauce

Rub it on Salmon fillets and bake until flakes, about 15 minutes (a little less or little more).

Mel doesn't like Salmon too much, but this recipe was deemed a keeper.

Asparagus: White versus Green

Well, I tried white asparagus because I like to try new produce. I love green asparagus, so I decided to try white when I saw it at the store. My opinion is that it is too much work. You have to break off the wooden end (the same as the green variety), but then you have to peel it before you cook it. This extra step seemed cumbersome. It didn't taste any better or have any more nutrients than the green variety. I decided to stick with the green ones for now on.
