Brian and I collaborated on a delicious dinner.  I requested the barley salad from 500 Best Healthy Recipes, and salmon for dinner.  Brian did the grocery shopping for all the ingredients.  He started the barley salad, I finished it and did the salmon.  I plated dinner, serving salad and salmon over a bed of greens.  Voila, great dinners at the Juddmansee B&B, suitable for any season.  We thought it was tasty as a warm meal, but would be equally good chilled as a quick summer lunch.

At the moment, I am watching the Colts/Chargers NFL wild card game, and alternating to Sleepless in Seattle on the commercial breaks.  Hey, if they want to pit these somewhat gender-typical favorites against one another, I can view them both at once!  I guess it is a bit of a chick thing to be sitting under my new fleece blanket (thanks Barb!) with Slinky on my lap, but I’m also puttering around doing work on the laptop which seems more common around my male colleagues.  Go figure.

And wow.  I’m from Indy.  I wanted to root for the Colts.  They just didn’t want the win as much as the Chargers, who pushed for a first down at every opportunity.  Sproles (5’6″, 181 lbs) is my kind of guy!  It’s weird to not have Pats or Colts in the playoffs now.  For whom shall I cheer?
