<p>Hi Harriet! Glad the wedding was so much fun. 350 people? That’s a lot. And now you’ll have the most adorable pictures. Spoken like the true wife of a photographer, which I am.</p>
<p>I watched sunset as I drove north from my last teaching job, two on Tuesdays. The sun was a big yellow eye and the sky blazing golden and rose. </p>
<p>It almost made working worthwhile to be out and driving north with the sun to my right just at the moment I was. Hillary Hahn playing Bach on my CD player. I really do believe I was in Paradise.</p>
<p>jym, how does that work - poaching in the dishwasher? </p>
<p>D just informed me that she is not coming home for dinner. They are having a brainstorming session preparing for tomorrow’s tests. I thought they were just goofing off at someone’s house, but hearing screams “Quick, someone please find the dates of blah-blah!” in the background when I talked to her reassured me that they weren’t.</p>
<p>mythmom, you must be hungry after such a long day at work. Have some of my salmon!</p>
<p>I don’t know - this is all starting to sound like the roadkill cookbook to me. (You know, the one that tells you where to place that 'possum you hit on the engine block, to end up with a tasty snack before you get to the next truck stop.)</p>
<p>BunsenBurner, wow, a study party where they really study. I’m impressed.</p>
<p>Hi, mythmom! Alas, we only have our very amateurish photos right now, but they will have to do until the professional ones arrive. We had a great time, though. And your drive home sounds lovely.</p>
<p>bethie, I’m sure you’ve had some of those fancy retaurant meals - big white plate smeared with sauce with a tiny piece of food in the middle. By putting the sauce in the dishwasher, you’ll cut your workload, since your dishes will come out pre-smeared. ;)</p>
<p>And who was asking about places to visit on the FL, GA, NC, NC coast?There was an article in a recent paper about places to stop all along I-95. I’ll see if I can find it</p>
<p>Well, that is surreal indeed. I can’t quite imagine a way to seal the salmon so it won’t send fishy-ness into the dishwasher or infiltrate the fish with leftover detergent scum. And the energy it takes to run a dishwasher has to be a lot more than what it would take to poach on a cooktop or in a microwave.</p>
<p>I realize this is a joke, but still…someone might think this is a good idea.</p>
<p>Kids–don’t try this at home–or in your dorm–unless it’s your only option for poaching salmon!</p>
<p>It’s not a joke! My friend learned to make this in cooking class, and she served it when we visited. It was excellent. I have never made it, though, as it just seems too weird … I just can’t put a fish in my dishwasher.</p>
<p>correct, kelsmom- this is NOT a joke!
I have had it, many years ago, and it was delicious!! I do not recall what the fish was sealed in (tin foil? ziploc bag? ) but no soap got on the fish, and the dishwasher came out unscathed. If you need your microwave for other things, this is a quick appliance to use (and a great conversation starter- about the cooking method).
Lindz-
I am still looking for that article. I think it was in a magazine that may be in the recycle pile. I’ll look. If it is in what I think it is in, it won’t be available online, I don’t think. :(</p>
<p>Oh and belated CONGRATS to northminnesota!! Great news to be done a year early!!!</p>
<p>Maybe we’re being kind to the salmon if we cook it in the dishwasher in its natural habitat (water)? Maybe the salmon will come out more tender because it’s not stressed? Okay, I’m overthinking this. Salmon’s long dead at this point. I’ll pass on this one.</p>
<p>H and S will only eat salmon marinated in maple syrup, garlic and soy sauce. It’s quite awesome actually.</p>
<p>mythmom - Your drive last night sounds surreal.</p>
<p>I have to say being freed from the vigil has liberated our true spirits. This thread is now hilarious – not like the meta thread which had, um, BOYS, but it’s it’s own, subtle, wacky, serious way.</p>
<p>mythmom - I enjoy reading the meta thread, but I don’t believe I’ve posted on it - not really into puns, i guess. </p>
<p>jym - that’s the problem with my dishwasher - byt the time I go to empty it, there are always a few dishes waiting to be loaded into it…lol. </p>
<p>I can’t believe how many people here ate salmon last night. Was there a national sale on salmon that I dont’ know about? I love it, but usually eat it when I go out, so I rarely cook it myself.</p>
<p>I have to admit that my salmon eating is as virtual as my drinking. i don’t have the eat fish gene. All fish makes me gag. DH and DD like it; DS is with me. I think we’re a different species.</p>
<p>I always feel so envious of you fish eaters: healthy, low in calories, sophisticated.</p>
<p>Excuse me, I just think I’ll have some ribs. (Just kidding. Don’t eat those either for obvious reasons – not aversion.)</p>
<p>Ok - how about AP stuff - how are your kids doing with this? #2 son had one on Monday (govt?) and then one today (Calc). There was definitely group studying. It would be great if he could go in with a few credits. Carnegie Mellon wants 4’s and 5’s to give credit. Then one more next week…</p>
