World Wildlife, Bowling, Cars,

A joke from World Wildlife - What has a bed but keeps on running?

Went bowling this afternoon. A little relief but not a lot. I did bowl a 200 game though - my second game was not so hot though.  Next Monday our Winter League starts so hope things are better.

An article from Reader's Digest about the 15 craziest cars ever built. This is one of them.

Actually, I think this is rather a fun car, very clever. It was actually parked on NY streets to advertise Meow Mix. There is also a car that beats the speed of sound (on which roads I wonder?) I am surprised they didn't include the one built for a Saudi Arabian which was covered in diamonds!!! Oh, apparently there was more than one, this one sells for $4.8 million.

I just thought, what a waste of money. I know these guys have more money than they know what to do with, but.....

We love salmon and ginger so this should be delicious I think. I can't imagine diving 1/4 tsp of salt though.

Ginger Roasted Salmon and Broccoli

1 ½ Tbs toasted (dark) sesame oil
1 ½ Tbs reduced-sodium tamari
1 ½ Tbs rice vinegar
1 Tbs grated fresh ginger
¼ tsp salt, divided
8 cups large broccoli florets with 2-inch stalks attached (about 1 pound)
1 Tbs molasses
1 ¼ lbs wild salmon, cut into 4 portions
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Whisk oil, tamari, vinegar, ginger and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add broccoli and toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared pan using tongs or a slotted spoon, leaving as much marinade as possible in the bowl. Whisk molasses into the remaining marinade. Roast the broccoli for 5 minutes. Move it to one side of the pan and place salmon on the other side. Season the salmon with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and brush with the molasses glaze. Roast until the salmon is just cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Servings: 4

  2. That salmon recipe sounds great--I like salmon and ginger both. My wife likes neither so I'd have to make this a recipe for one unless we had company.

    1. That's always a pity when one spouse enjoys something and the other doesn't Lee. Mostly Matt and I enjoy all the same foods. Hope you get to try it.

  3. There used to be a Liberace Museum in Las Vegas that had a rhinestone encrusted piano with matching Rolls Royce.

    1. Knowing Liberace, I am surprised he didn't have diamonds. Maybe he wasn't rich enough.

  4. That Arab has too much money to waste...why can’t he give it to the animals or the poor children? The crazy cars make me laugh. Just FYI, I was standing outside where I work waiting formhubby to pick me up when I saw 7 police cars race by. I thought something was going down. I would say about a 10 min walk from where I work is where the shooting took place..in my hometown! This is crazy!!

  5. Where is the punchline? Or are my eyes not working right? As for dividing salt, they do specify 1/8 tsp twice. Unfortunately, many cooks do not have a measuring spoon that size.

    1. Punchline tomorrow Denise. I don't have a measuring spoon that small either. Do you?

      Delete
    2. Yes, I do. I also have spoons labeled pinch, tad, dash, and smidgen, though to be honest, I never use them. I just may check them out today to see how much the really hold. I'll let you know.

    3. Do you? Never heard of those Denise. Be fun to find out what they really measure. Smallest I have is 1/4.

  6. 4 million for a car? I suppose it's their money, but man, I could find some better uses for that kind of money.

    1. Get into a fender bender with them and grab some of the diamonds you knock off. Then run! LOL

      That recipe looks good, Jo.

    2. True Liz. When you think of the poverty etc. in some parts of the world, or the slaughter of elephants, etc. etc.

      Trouble is you'd have to go to Dubai or Saudi Arabia to do it Melissa. Like the idea though.
