Grant draws house plans

 Ever since Grant was just a little guy, he would make elaborate mazes. 

He would take legos or his sisters doll furniture...whatever he could find, and make rooms and hallways and entrances. 

Now that he's older and he can draw, he makes house plans. He made this one last week. 

It's a friend's house with an indoor pool where Grant likes to swim. 

We really do wonder if he has a photographic memory...to be able to walk through a house and then draw all the rooms complete with entrances.

Easy good salmon

 So I have this habit. When I can't sleep I'll put my sleep phones over my ears and listen to podcasts. 

Sometimes I'll fall off to sleep while the podcast is still playing. 

That's what happened a few nights ago ...until the host of the podcast said something about a favorite recipe she wanted to share. And it was not a cooking show. 

I must have heard "recipe" because I jolted awake and quickly listened, and thought, yes! I want to make that.

I knew I'd forget it by morning so I made myself get out of bed and find a pen to write it down. It's hard finding a pen in the dark and something to write it down on, with just a little flashlight.  

But I did.

A few nights later I made it. So simple and good, I had to share here.

Season how you like it. Then slather with olive oil and butter all over each piece of salmon. Don't skimp. 

Wrap in little foil packets. I put them on my lovely cookie sheet and baked 20 minutes @ 425'. Just as that podcast host said.

I had 3 pieces about 5 oz each in individual foil packets. 

You know, the size of the ones sold at Costco in those large bags. 

Not dried out at all, and so good...if you like salmon. 

We had it with baked potatoes and broccoli. 

But you can have it with whatever you want.
