I did nothing to the salmon except spray the skin side olive oil before
flopping it on the gas grill. A few minutes (a couple minutes would've
been better, I'm thinking) and I turned it (no problem, btw, flipping it
-- I used my Bigass� fish flipper and the skin was crisp besides) and
turned the grill off while I continued my juggling act in the kitchen.
Boiled, peeled new potatoes; green beans (boiled like fury for a couple
minutes in a vat of water, then drained and chilled in cold water -
we'll eat green beans for a week; I'll simply heat them or nibble at my
pleasure cold from the fridge); sour cream with dill stirred in (I
didn't, after all, feel like going for yogurt and it turns out that my
capers aren't), and fresh cukes, sliced with fat green onions, a little
sugar, a little salt, a little vinegar.

I've eaten worse. The salmon was overcooked but still edible. I could
have eaten the whole piece instead of the half I had.

I'll work with the broccoli tomorrow, maybe.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
