I made some banana bread at some point between feeding Mae and putting Mae down for nap. This recipe did the trick –> Banana Bread. #food

This evening we took the salmon we bought to feed Mae and wrapped it with some sunday bacon for dinner. 5 minutes on each side in a cast iron skillet and then popped into an oven thats been preheated to 375 for another 3-5 mins and voila!

We plated the bacon-salmon on a bed of white quinoa. Nuked some microwave-ready asparagus from fresh direct and combined everything on the plate. Finished the dish by dousing everything with lemon juice.

So freakin’ tasty and so quickly made!

Wait what happened to the end of 2011… I dunno. Laziness… So for the first amazing day of 2012 we took a walk to Bed-Stuy. On our walk we happened on to a line of people at a window of a building, so to get my adventurous badge of 2012 we went over there and got in line. Turns out the line was for fresh baked breads and goodies, we had stumbled upon SCRATCHbread!

I told Amanda to just get something sweet and a loaf of bread… She began her order with the hash with smoked salmon and a side of bacon, an oatmeal chuckie and a loaf of bourbon bread. Stunned, I quickly asked for the bacon, 3 thick slabs of bacon in wax paper wrapped in a bit of butcher paper, the bacon was thick and greasy bacon, with the layer of skin cooked crispy like a pork rind. The hash was quickly devoured by Amanda but with the last few bite I can tell you it was amazing. Finally after we got home I indulged in the oatmeal chunkie and bourbon bread, both so fresh and so tasty. If your ever in the area check them out but try to get there early, things have a way of selling out there.
