Slow-Roasted Salmon and Curry Pilaf

Today was Mom's birthday, so I prepared one of her favorites, slow-roasted salmon with a shallot butter sauce. For the sides, I made a curry pilaf and steamed brussel sprouts.

It's been a while since I made slow-roasted salmon, but it turned out pretty good today. The shallot butter sauce was a nice complement because the sweetness of the shallots and herbes de provence.

For the rice, I didn't improvise too much, so it was fairly normal. Well, at least as normal as you could expect from me.

For dessert, Sister C made a tarte tartin. She was inspired again by Julia Child, but unlike Julia, Sister C's tarte tatin looked and tasted pretty good.


Happy B-Day Mom!

Pork Ribs

Since it was Independence Day, I made pork ribs. Instead of barbecuing them this time, I cooked them in the oven. I find this method to be much faster and nearly as good as cooking them on a barbecue.

For the sides, I made shoestring fries, and Mom made whomp biscuits and corn.

It was a simple meal that didn't need utensils. Best of all, I have something to take for lunch tomorrow.
