Poached Salmon in Foil Packets – Two Days, Two Ways

May 10, 2012 by Stormy Sweitzer - Maoomba-in-chief · 8 Comments

I was browsing.  Just trying to mind my own business.  But, then I heard a deep voice – a la Michael Clarke Duncan – ask, “What’s for dinner?” Standing next to me was the butcher – as imposing as his voice, arms crossed as if proudly surveying the meat, poultry, and seafood refrigeration units that [...]
