Salmon Sashimi With A Tasty Soy Miso Sauce

This recipe of salmon sashimi with a super delicious miso say sauce is a dish you can die for. It’s simple and delicious, though the salmon slices can add up to quite a bit if you like to eat a lot of them at once. The dressing is important, but can be overwhelming if you add in too much of the salty miso paste or soy sauce as they will drown the sashimi and render them unpalatable instead of tasty.

Not-So-Mini Potato Pancakes

We are headed into May soon – tomorrow! I love the beginning of May because the first day of May is always a holiday. And then because I came into being after Labour Day (literally), it gives me one more good reason to take a breather and to do the things I like. I am forty-five years old this year by the way, and I hope that I can continue to live simply, sufficiently and be a useful human being for another twenty years or so, minimally.
