It’s a yucky day in Mississippi which is perfectly fine with me.  That means I get to stay inside and watch season 3 of “West Wing”. 

Since I have declared this my day off I don’t want to cook so I looked inside my freezer and discovered dinner can be ready in 13 minutes with no effort on my part.  Well a minimum.

I tossed a salmon fillet in the microwave for two minutes. I spread a squirt of Grey Poupon mixed with a teaspoon or so of Splenda brown sugar (okay I only saved 16 calories but it doesn’t run your blood sugar up) on top.  I spelled out my name just for fun. 

I find that when you turn 50 (or is it 70, I forget) you entertain yourself any way you can.  i placed the doctored salmon on a cookie sheet and dumped the remains of my most brilliant discovery ever – Alexia sweet potato fries. This brand is head and shoulders above the fakey crinkle cut fries every other brands make.  They look like they were cut by my grandmother – all different sizes and lengths.  (They come out of the oven like Mamma just drained them from a pot of lard.)  But back to this complicated recipe.

Bake it all at about 425 degrees for 10 or 11 minutes.  Done.

Listen y’all.  This is delicious.   I’ll be taking a nap soon.  The rain is moving out and leaving us with the most delightful chill in the air.  I just wish I hadn’t lost my Lucky Dawg last week.  She would be in my lap.
