One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste.

So the day before we headed out to Boston I wanted to use up our salad stuffs and the bundle of asparagus. So I went to my favorite dish. 

Salmon and Veggie in foil!

I have posted about this before. But I think that I like the lack of squash, tomato, and onion. It made the whole dish have a mushy texture.

This was not the healthiest preparation (note the pads of butter) , but the fat plus a touch of salt and pepper and then a hot oven is all you need to make easy asparagus.

Then the salmon just had some butter, lemon, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of thyme over it.

Now on the the thing I was excited about making that evening: Strawberry Balsamic Salad.

It is super easy. I need to use up the strawberries that were headed out in my kitchen so I washed and diced the best looking of the bunch and the quartered them. a bit of red onion and then a balsamic reduction and you have yourself a salad that is out of the ordinary (at least in my kitchen).

This picture is really bad, but I wanted to show it dressed:

In other news, I got the PURTIEST Ukulele from my husband! I am extremely excited about it!

Until the next meal...
