Yes, but I just updated about a half hour ago, as I just cooked them now.
Sigh, I wonder if I posted that on a relationships thread...
chuckles..
no actual m&m's present, but there are some wine gums
in a perfect world there would always be some wine gums, just on the table over there
Fresh wild sockeye salmon fillets, seasoned, topped with lemon slices, a little thinly sliced onion, fresh parsley and baked in foil.
Roasted rosemary new potatoes.
More of the fresh steamed wax beans with, yup, just a dab of butter and fresh ground pepper.
Agree it sounds great. One thing I miss a lot from the north coast is the fresh wild salmon, rich flavor, good texture...
Well, I miss a lot of things and gain a lot, so not to whine. Still, any salmon here has to fly in.

wow, their fins must get tired
Despite living in land-locked Manitoba, we have an excellent local fish market that flies in fresh fish daily, even Louisiana catfish (Mr. M's favourite) a couple of times a week.
Not nearly so fresh as you're used to, Osso, but good all the same.
What are wine gums?
I had pasta again with basil-parsely pesto! It's good, but boy o boy...... It's almost time to start cooking again now that the weather's cooling off.
Went to the neighbor's pig roast tonight (going back there shortly). He had a pig roasted and brought in, and he made calimari in red sauce (he's Sicilian), and grilled garlic, banana peppers, red and yellow bell peppers, egg plant and big sweet onions. About three different ladies brought Greek salad. One lady brought some awesome brownies.
Maynards Wine Gums ... yummy!
From Answers.com
"Wine gums (or winegums) are chewy, firm sweets similar to gumdrops, except they are not sugar-coated. They are manufactured from animal gelatin, obtained from rendering of bones, mixed with sweeteners , flavourings and colourings. They are extremely popular in the United Kingdom, as well as in Commonwealth nations such as New Zealand and Canada, and other northern European countries. Popular brands include Maynards, Marks & Spencer and Bassett's. They contain no wine. The name comes from the lingering, subtle fruit flavours that make it "similar to the experience of savouring a fine wine". In reference to this, the sweets have the names of alcoholic drinks on them, for example port, gin, rum and hock. Red and black are the most popular colours."
Eeeeeewwwwww, animal bones! <the vegitarian runs away>

yesterday I saw some red lentils at the market and bought them. Today Diane and I went to an international market on the other side of town, and yes, they had peeled mung beans. So... soon I'll try your recipe. That market is fabulous, I could lose track of day and night in there.
Great! I knew there'd be
somewhere in town where you could get the ingredients you needed, osso! Ms Osso cooks Indian!
Tell us more about this market! What else did you buy? (bet you couldn't help yourself!
)
Just had a big bowl of tomato & lentil soup (with lots of chopped parsley on top & a big, freshly-baked, crunchy bread roll) I made yesterday.... Rather nice, if I do say so, myself!
Sea Bass,baked in tin foil with a bayleaf,butter and dark soy sauce.Crisp crunchy salad sprinkled with virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar,all mopped up with french bread.Washed down with a chilled Californian white wine.
Gotta have animal bones for good gelatine
finished off the chicken thighs. Set had his with potatoes. I had my share straight up.
The dogs got some of the pork bones (from the neighbours bbq) in the kibble broth. Miss Cleopatra enjoyed some calamari tentacles earlier. Apparently she ate cherry tomatoes straight off the neighbour's bushes yesterday. That dog'll eat nearly anything (no shrimp or lobster).
No, I couldn't help myself, msolga.
Lesseeeeee, some cheese similar to parmigiano reggiano, called Monte veronese d'allevo mezzano; some California olive oil (El Molinero), some italian bubbly water (Santa Croce); some ginger in sweet vinegar (gari shoga from Mutual Trading Company), some whole grain mustard from a French company called Clovis, and last but not least..
a jar of pesto alla Trapanese from Villa Reale, a really good restaurant/estate in Sicily. Ingredients - basil, tomato, almonds, peperoncini, olive oil, herbs.
I'm sorry the place is so far away - the prices are excellent, and the produce is really fresh and interesting. I didn't buy the chinese long beans, but I will next time..
I didn't even look at the fish and meat counters, and we were there for at least two hours, maybe longer.
