It’s Recipe day!!!!!!

You’ll need;

4 cups of red wine

2 nice sized chunks of salmon

about 1 cup chopped cashews (or pecans)

2 tbsp red curry paste

1/4 cup flour

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp crushed sea salt (don’t use that crappy table salt bullshit)

1 can coconut milk

olive oil

Pour yourself the first of 4 glasses of wine. (did you seriously think it was for the salmon?) Pour the coconut milk into a deep bowl and mix in the paprika. Season the salmon liberally with salt and then coat the salmon pieces in the curry paste. Place in the bowl of milk and leave to soak- preferably overnight- but a couple of hours will do if that’s all you have. Mix the crushed nuts with the flour and coat the salmon. Put in hot pan with olive oil and cook each side evenly (including edges) about 7 minutes or until golden brown. If your salmon is thick put it in a 375 oven for a few minutes once it’s browned.

Drink more wine. For more goodness- check out my food blog Fig & Pepper

I am having what we at work like to refer to as a “hungry day.” You know what I mean- those days when you have an insatiable hunger- it doesn’t matter what you eat or how much of it, you are still chew off your own arm famished. I have already eaten my breakfast (yogurt & a bagel) AND my lunch ( a piece of lasagna) which doesn’t sound too bad.

Well, until you realize that this was all consumed by 9:30 am and I have now placed an order for delivery of chicken enchiladas with extra jalapenos because, you know, I had to replace my lunch and all. I would like to say that this type of behaviour is odd or outside of the norm for me.

But I cannot.

How I don’t weight 1400lbs and am confined to my bed and when I need medical attention they have to cut out a giant hole in the wall of the house and use a crane and a cherry picker to hoist my enormous ass out is beyond me. On the up side, if I were confined to bed devouring whole chickens and family size veal picatta, think of how much time I would have to devote to well thought and researched diatribes that I could post here for your amusement. I would also probably stop posting recipes and start posting take out menus. Shit. Would I be able to maneuver myself over to the scanner? Maybe I could just describe them to you or take pictures of my orders when they arrive.

My enchiladas will be here in 6 minutes and if they forgot the guacamole I’m going to eat the delivery guy.
