  • Presentation
  • Taste
  • Wine
  • Romance
Wine: :|
The wine we had was a nice, cold, and drinkable. I would not necessarily put it as my favorite white wine.


Approach to Appetizers: Novel to say the least

Much like all past friday night dinners, this one got started a little late. We went to a part before hand (yes, I said it, a party!!!). So we had to have appetizers. Sure enough, we had some, which would later be used for breading (we will get into that). About 1/2 a bag of sweet potato veggie chips. You can see the result of our hunger.

Yes, we were lucky we had enough for the rest of the evening.

Presentation: π of 5 stars

The salmon looked a little rough, the saving grace was the desert. The desert looked like a smorgasbord of fruit delight. The salmon, not so much. It looked a little like an overcooked cheesestick. (Not that it tasted bad).




So as you can see, some more traditional salmon dishes look a little more "palatable".

Ingenious ways to make it gluten free: Perfection

Talk about a great and ingenious breading, veggie chips. The original recipe was with crackers, but I think the veggie chips added a wonderful sweetness tothe salmon. It was very tasty! We will be having the breading again. It may not look good, but it tastes wonderful.

Taste: 4 out of 5
The salmon was a 5 of 5 in terms of taste.
The desert was a 6 out of 5. It is always wonderful to have such a simple, but tasty desert. Refreshing and simple is the best way to describe it.
The brocolli: 3 out of 5. I would say it was a little heavy on the lemon, and it dried out a little in the oven. However, it is a wonderful recipe to use as a starting point. We need to make it our own and start modifying it slightly.

Romance: A dozen roses

Well as you can see, nothing is more cute than the 2 of us, I mean look how happy Wyetta looks.Overall, it was a wonderful Saturday night for dinner and some great lessons were learned.
