I decided while grocery shopping tonight that I wanted to have something for dinner that I don't usually have. And Wassy had mentioned a recipe for salmon to me last week (or was it earlier this week…I can't remember. The holiday vacation kinda screwed up my concept of time) that looked like it was simple enough that I could tackle it with my limited cooking skills.

So I wandered around the grocery store trying to find where they put the stupid soy sauce. I also had to talk to somebody at the seafood counter to get my salmon (which, if you know me you'd know that was a big deal. I hate talking to people). Brought it home and started marinating.

An hour later I'm enjoying some salmon that isn't half bad. Definitely some room for improvement, but, well…I wasn't expecting to get it perfectly the first try. The next time I do it it'll be better. And there will be a next time because I have an awful lot of garlic products and soy sauce that I'm probably not going to be using otherwise.

I've been trying to branch out a little bit in regards to the stuff I eat for dinner. I'm trying to get away from pure frozen type stuff and try to move towards things that involve more than one step. Although one step is nice sometimes too.
