Why food should taste good . . . .

We just ate food from a place called Souvlaki Hut. The food wasn't atrocious. It wasn't good. It had a slightly chemical taste to it. We may order food from there again. It would have to be a fairly rough day for me to make that choice though, based upon the fare. The service, however, was really good and the kid who took our order seemed nice.

On the subject of food and cooking: I've been making homemade pasta as of late. While my first experiments on the subject were less than perfect, I feel like I really hit my stride on the last batch. I got it really thin (without a pasta machine, something I'm going to have to purchase someday soon if I'm going to keep playing with making pasta) and it turned out nice. The sauce was a cream sauce (basically a white sauce but with sour cream instead of milk) with salmon, mushrooms, garlic and spring onions. I was proud of how it turned out.

The salmon was from the kilo that I got in my Christmas hamper. The package read that it had to be eaten within two days of thawing. We ate salmon for every meal for nearly three days. Unfortunately, there's only so much salmon I can eat. I've hit my quota for a while. My lovely wife, D, is the opposite. It will be a day long in coming for her to say that she's had enough.
