Although it's spring throughout most of the rest of the country, here in the desert we're beginning to feel a hint of summer. This weekend has certainly been a welcome introduction to this, my favorite of all seasons. So, we watched baseball, made iced tea, and cooked a wonderful dinner.
In my family, summer weather also means grill weather, so that's what we did tonight. We grilled Wild Alaskan Salmon in two ways. The first was just a simple sea salt, lime, and lemon marinade. The second one, however, was quite a creation, thanks to my stepdad. He used green onion, dill, blue cheese dressing, and crumbled crackers to create a wonderfully fresh, yet rich flavor combination which looked beautiful, too.
On the side was angel hair pasta and tomatoes that we grilled stuffed with mozzarella cheese and basil. We finished it all off with good old-fashioned apple pie.
It was a fresh, healthy dinner on a beautiful evening with the breeze coming through the open windows, a relaxing sunset, and great conversation about the importance of gratitude.
