Not much to say tonight. I have to go for bloodwork early in the morning. Couldn't make an appointment, too close to the date. I hope I don't have to sit in the lab forever and a day. I can't even have breakfast before I go. Have to fast.
I made a dish of beans and tomatoes which I made once just before I collapsed and went into hospital. Hope that's not an omen!! I thought about trying to make it in the instapot but wasn't sure enough of the timings to try it. Another time hopefully. Anyway, it will do us for supper on Friday night. A girlfriend is coming up to keep us company on Friday and to run us around. Hopefully I won't have to stay overnight. I think this is really wonderful of her as she lives 1 1/2 hours away from me and has had to take the day off work to help. Same one who helped with shopping the other week.
It occurs to me, I may not be writing a blog much over the next few days. Just to prepare you. Should be OK tomorrow but we will see. It took close on 5 months to see the cardiologist and now he is rushing me around all over the damned place!!!!!
Asparagus season is on its way, so when I saw this I thought I would post it. Might try it next week. It is certainly an easy recipe with pre-made Hollandaise.
ROASTED SALMON and ASPARAGUS WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
4 Tbs (60 mL) oil, divided
8 salmon fillets (about
2 lbs/ 1 kg)
2 lbs (1 kg) asparagus, trimmed
1 package Knorr® Hollandaise Classic Sauce Mix
1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Coat 2 rimmed baking sheets each with 1 Tbsp (15 mL) oil.
2. Arrange salmon on 1 prepared pan and asparagus on the other. Drizzle asparagus with 1 Tbsp (15 mL) oil and toss to coat; brush salmon with remaining 1 Tbsp (15 mL) oil and season, if desired, with salt and black pepper.
3. Roast 12 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork and asparagus are crisp-tender.
4. Meanwhile, prepare Knorr® Hollandaise Classic Sauce Mix according to package directions.
5. To serve, arrange asparagus on platter; top with salmon and drizzle with sauce.
Servings: 8
TIP: For a zesty twist to your Hollandaise Sauce, stir in 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Dijon or whole grain mustard.
TIP: The salmon and asparagus are also delicious grilled instead of roasted

Have a great day

Hi Jo - hope all goes well and also that you get some answers. So pleased your friend can come through to be with you.
ReplyDeleteAsparagus and salmon ... yes it's on its way - love it ... cheers Hilary
Thanks Hilary. I was delighted my friend could come.
DeleteAsparagus, I have waited a year for you.
Had my lab work done yesterday, but the hospital is only two miles from me. The fasting is the hardest part.
ReplyDeleteI think our lab is even less than 2 miles Denise. Easily walkable if you can walk. Funnily enough I didn't find fasting hard. Why did you have bloodwork?
DeleteCho!esterol panel. And it all came back okay. I miss my morning coffee when I fast.
DeleteGlad it was OK. Yup, I miss my coffee too Denise. Made up for it since tho.
DeleteI hope you have better luck than I. My yearly fasting labwork left a huge bruise on my arm.
ReplyDeleteWell Melissa, I held my arm long enough to avoid that thank goodness.
DeleteGood luck today, and on Friday. I'm SO glad you have someone coming to help. She is a godsend. Such a good friend. Where do Matt's kids live?
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. I was happy too, she is a good friend, you are right. They live in England. South East, Kent.
DeleteGlad you got someone to be with you Friday. Hope everything goes well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex.
DeleteHope you don't have to sit forever either.
ReplyDeleteMe too Diane
DeleteThat is so very nice of your friend and I am glad she is there for you. Now you can look forward to asparagus season
ReplyDeleteTrue Birgit, it is nice of her. Oh if only.
