bad blogger, long week

ok, i've been such a bad blogger that i'm surprised any of you still even check on me. this week has been busy already and it's only tuesday.
this week i'm learning from the guy who's leaving. it makes me so sad. he reminds me of my brother dan so to see his feelings hurt or his heart broken is really difficult for me.
to know that it means that i'm going to be ridden twice as hard is even worse. and to make matters even worse, the boss's son keeps saying "oh, man, (sigh)why are you leaving us?" i want to say "ummm....because your mom let him go so quit making it sound like it's his choice to leave!" he's such a tool.
since the holidays are over i decided to do something about the one pound here, one pound there that i keep gaining. so i'm counting my calories. so far, i've lost 5 pounds but tonight i fell off the wagon and had some cookies AFTER some chocolate chips. and i've been wii-ig my butt off. i love the hula-hoop part. have i mentioned that. anyhow...we are watching american train wreck...er...uh...i mean american idol and when that's done we're going to wii.
tonight we had our favorite salmon recipe. we made it up. here it is:
1/2 cup (not firmly packed) brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 T olive oil
1 T grated fresh ginger
1/2 t lemon juice
Few springs of cilantro
1 lb of Salmon

Turn the oven on to Broil.
Sautee the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger and lemon juice for just a few minutes until it carmelizes.
Put the salmon on a broiler pan skin side up and broil 3 minutes, take the skin off and drizzle 1/3 of sauce over salmon and broil again for 5 minutes. Turn salmon over, drizzle another 1/3 of sauce over and place cilantro leaves on the salmon and broil for 5 minutes. After you pull the salmon out of the oven, drizzle the last 1/3 of the sauce over salmon and serve.
It's really yummy with long grain rice and peas, or broccoli or asparagus....mmmmmm...asparagus (say it in the Homer Simpson voice).
