Whether grilling or baking or broiling, I have a new way to cook it in the winter, to get the flavor of summer, with Cedar Planked Salmon.

It’s easy to prep the cedar planks.

Prepare the salmon just the way you love it. We use a good quality olive oil (DeLallo brand), and then the classic Old Bay seasoning. It’s perfect for salmon.

Bake and serve!

Oh, and delicious leftover in recipes like this Seafood Sweet Potato Risotto, or Cedar Planked Salmon Pot Pie (YUM!), Corn Salmon Chowder, or my daughter’s Salmon Spring Rolls recipe (so good!)

Hand-written notes

But first … the other day, as I was filling out the paperwork to update our passports (stay tuned, we’re headed for the sunshine!), I realized how bad my hand writing has become. I mean, it’s really bad! With all the texting, emailing, computer work, paying bills online, etc. I hardly write anything now, besides my signature.

I’m wondering if you’re feeling the same way?

I came across a pile of cards that I had saved, and challenged myself to enjoy a cup of tea, and slowly … slowly … write some notes to some friends.

It doesn’t always have to be bad news, or when something falls apart for someone, that we send cards. Sending cards is a way to say we are thankful for people, and that we are thinking of them.

Through the seasons of life, some of my cherished keepsakes are notes from my mother, and some very special friends. I’ve also saved a stash of thank you notes after we’ve hosted hundreds of dinner parties in our homes, with guests specifically calling out what they loved about the evening.

It’s the little things that count. Saying thank you, I love you, I’m thinking of you, how good the meal was, the special way the table was set, the conversation that went deep, and was oh, so meaningful.

We just need to take the time. Right?

I have a few people I want to thank. I’m a little embarrassed that I’m so late in getting my notes written, but I’m going to do it anyway.

 

 

 

What are your thoughts on snail-mail cards? Yes, no? How’s your handwriting? :)
