Fifteen Months

Fifteen months.  It has been 15 long months since I have blogged (save for the recent fix of the failed January attempt!).  Fifteen months is too long.  A great deal can happen in 15 months.  A person's life can change dramatically.  For instance:  taking a new job in Tennessee, packing and moving 575 miles in ten days, family illnesses, family celebrations, holidays, gaining three stepdaughters and two new nieces, teaching 13 classes and learning eight new preps, and a trip to Florida via Atlanta, Georgia. This brings me to the new year- the new school year that is. 

What does this year hold?  If the past year is indication the future is unclear!  I must remember to sit back, hold on, and enjoy the ride.  And I must make a commitment to read more and to write more. 

Poached Salmon with Pinot Noir

This photo was taken with the (horrible) camera on my cell phone (I really need an iPhone or Smart Phone .) from a distant installment of Wine Spectator.

I began this post back in January after I had visited a friend at the local hospital and was left with only Wine Spectator to read.  Shortly after I typed the first sentence my computer made a large popping noise and died.  About a week later it was fixed, but within days I noted there seemed to be a cognitive processing disorder with my computer.  It was the video card.  Suffice it to say, my computer was out of commission for a while.  I have since forgotten the the recipe I committed to memory and text to my brother and have upgraded to an Android.  While I am still not thrilled with the camera of my phone (or my ability to use the camera well), I love having access to Pinterest whenever I want!  It's about the important things, really! 

Since you were expecting a recipe for Poached Salmon you might wish to take a look at the one available at What's Cooking America or Food.com.
