Curry-Rubbed Salmon

This was my dinner from the other night. It was very easy.

I know it is not the best picture. It does have nice color.
Here are all the ingredients.

3 ingredients.
You pan fry it.

Turn it over

Then it's done.

Looks pretty good although I am use to dishes with more ingredients.

Here is the recipe

I do not know where I found the recipe.

If you are looking for a recipe thjat is simple --- this is it.

Colonial Chicken Curry

This is what I had for dinner tonight. Doesn't it look scrumptious. It was sure tasty although it took about 3 hours to make if you don't have prepared chicken breasts already prepared that is equal to about 3 cups cubed.
This is also my first dish that had a sitting time of an hour to ripen the flavors.
Here is the recipe.

This recipe came from The Heritage of Southern Cooking by Camille Glenn. 

On these pages you will also find the recipe for poaching chicken breasts if that is something new you haven't tried. 

The garnish is a hot mango chutney that went wonderfully with this dish. 

Easter Eggs and Recipes to Satisfy

I have been very busy. This economy definitely keeps you on your toes. I am always looking for new business opportunities and trying something new. I have been so busy I have been unable to make any jewelry, but I am looking forward to putting forth the time.

I haven't been reading as much either. I should have finished the book that I have been reading by now. I am happy I will have more time starting on Friday, although I also have to catch up on work.

I have also been watching the world's going through Twitter. I have been using the add-on Twitbin with Mozilla Firefox. Twitter is great for learning. I found blogs by people in my field along with other tips and trends which can really be quite helpful. A big topic at this time has been the swine flu.

For Easter my family and I went to Old Lyme to The Hideaway Restaurant.
I had their veal roast for dinner. I really wanted lamb but was disappointed because they sold out. The meal was excellent and they were very busy.

While we were there we also celebrated my mother's birthday. My brother and I bought my mother a cake from Take the Cake! in Guilford, CT.
Their cakes are divine. This cake was terrific. This cake is a White Chocolate Mousse cake and it was rich and wonderful. It was perfect and not to sweet.

The one thing I have made time to do is write. I wrote an article for small businesses, Strategizing Your U.S. Business in a Global Economy, Role Model: Daphne Millbrook of Heroes, Power Plus Money Equals Success, and Queenie: The Life and Times of Merle Oberon. With everything that has been going on at in the business and financial markets I couldn't help but add information of what I saw that was happening with businesses that I have worked with.

I also cooked up some wonderful meals for my boyfriend. He is big for Caesar Salad Wraps. I made him and Easy Baked Caesar Salmon. I found this recipe along with the other below on Recipezaar.Chris loved the flavor and it was really easy to make. Their were only seven ingredients. It is a 30 minute meal!

We also had a Honey Curry Chicken. This was excellent also.
This recipe only had seven ingredients and did not take that long to put together, but this took an hour to bake.

I did have some time to do a little crafting. I did some decoupaging.
Here is a great hint for a book to get great pictures for decoupaging -- use an FTD catalog.

Have fun and happy living!!!
