Gourmet Friday's



In the interest of keeping life a little more interesting, I wanted to bring back something that I used to do (ok, translation; before I got lazy). Gourmet Friday. No, that doesn't mean stove top and hotdogs. Tonight I will have the following menu: Phyllo wrapped salmon, saffron baked rice, heirloom tomato and basil salad and poached pears. The phyllo will be the interesting part as I have only worked with it a few times. I'm not too worried though, it's a pretty easy menu and I have the scariest thing covered already (I know, don't keep you all in suspence, right?). I already have the saffron! I'll let everyone know how it turned out. Tomorrow I pick up my angel food boxes so I'm looking forward to creating stuff out of all the good things in there. If you've never tried angel food the meat is SO good! This time I ordered 3 boxes: The regular box, the grilling box and the fruit and vegetable. I'll try to add a pic (probably all loaded in the car because I have to be at work shortly after it gets picked up. Happy Friday everyone!
Oh, and I chose the pic because I just happened to find a copper pan (very similar to this one) at the thrift store yesterday for $2!!!!!
