Sloppy Salmon

There has been a recent exciting development in our household. The Honey cooks. Every Wednesday night, while I lounge on the sofa reading trashy novels, he slaves over the stove. We've dubbed the mid-week cooking fare as "Daddy Dinner Night". The idea was to graduate from his previous 10-second gourmet status (condiments, cheese, bread and cereal playing crucial roles) to full-fledged home-cooked meals.

Well, turns out he's got quite a gourmet flair. And because a picture is worth 1,000 words, I am going to begin posting his weekly dishes. To get you up to speed, here are the fabulous dinners he's cooked up so far:

Chicken Cordon Bleu - as fancy as it sounds! Pounding of chicken, rolling of breadcrumbs, he did the whole nine yards.

Chicken Fajitas with a twist. Those are roasted cucumbers, which are surprisingly delicious.

Scallopini over spicy rice. I tried to use a food photographer-esque angle with Williams-Sonoma or Bon Appetit in mind, but who am I kidding? I'm no photographer.

The latest and greatest: Sloppy Salmon and split pea soup. He realized after he opened the can of Sloppy Joe sauce that we had no beef. Enter left over salmon and hearty thick-sliced bread. It smelled so good, I immediately bit into it before I took the weekly picture. Can you see my lipstick mark?

Here's The Honey hard at work deciphering the recipe in our pint-sized kitchen.

Ah, so good.
