I'm So Excited and I Just Can't Fight It

I had a dream last night which inspired my lunch this morning: 

 

"A man on the pier sitting on a worn out, undersized, beach chair, grabs his beer and takes a quick swig.  The "ahhh" that came out of his mouth is only beaten by the "ahhh" that Ford Prefect let out when he saved Arthur Dent from destruction on earth.  Despite this moment of tranquility and serenity, something grabbed his attention.  It was his fishing pole.  The reel was spinning faster than he's ever seen.  "Oh baby! Oh baby!" He shouted out in excitement!

 

"My family's gonna love me tonight!" He screamed again, in his broken accent.  See, Timbak here emigrated from Austria only a few years back, trying to break the cycle of poverty that's been in his family for years.  He thought about his past and how little food they had.  He remembered how he would fish everyday, but nothing came out from the lakes of Austria.  Just then at that moment, a 2 foot long salmon jumped from the water and into his bucket.  He ran home and as we walked in the door, his family greeted him with more love than he's ever seen."

 

Chef Joe acquired only the best salmon he could find from the grocer.  After washing and cleaning the fish with a salt scrub he lay it on the cutting board and delicately took the skin off with his sharpened fillet knife.  A baking pan was lined with tin foil and the salmon was placed still fresh and cold onto the tin foil.  A light coating of dill, then salt and pepper were added to the fish.  The broiler was preheated for 20 minutes and the fish was placed in for 7 minutes until opaque.

 

While the salmon was broiling, Chef Joe chopped up zucchini and a red bell pepper and sauteed this in olive oil for 8 minutes under medium high heat.  Only salt and pepper were added as seasoning.  He took a bite to make sure they were perfect and bit into the crunchy delicious vegetables.

 

Chef Joe's Uncle Ben provided him with a harvest blend of brown rice, carrots, barley, red bell peppers, and lentils all prepared using the latest microwave technology in a mere 90 seconds.  Thanks Uncle Ben!!!

 

Finally to top of the pink salmon, red peppers, green zucchini, and brown rice, an orange was paired with the main vegetable and salmon as a nice sweet and tart dessert.

 

Oh... oh... what was that Elys?  Thank you... thank you.
