It's a Her not a Him! It's Me!

On a serious note, DH and I had a restaurant dinner out this week -
sorta middle of the road - and the meals were just not up to scratch.
Not counting when we dine out with our friends at restaurants (the
company makes up for so-so food), it so often seems to be a
disappointment.
We decided the best meals are ones we cook at home using really good
ingredients and inspiring recipes from my cookbooks and rec.cooking.
Our friends love getting an invitation to our dinner table!

Tonight I am cooking fresh salmon slices with an asian flavour (kaffir
lime leaf and lime slice, fresh ginger, dash of soy sauce and fish
sauce and a dash of mirrin wine) wrapped in cooking parchment
(individual). The parcels are baked at a high oven temp. for about 10
min. I'll serve it with a little white rice mould on the side and some
steamed beans with red pepper strips.
Dessert is poached pears in white wine with the liquid then reduced
right down, and a couple of passionfruits squeezed into the sauce as it
cools.
