Salmon tonight.

i may not plate our food real fancy, but it's good eats.
I agree. I haven't been out to eat in almost a year. I went to Ruth's Chris's Steak House, paid over $100 for two of us. My wife's Filet Mignon was perfect she said, but my "trout" (tasted suspiciously like talapia) was not good, and neither were the enormous side dishes.

I'm a pretty good cook since a chef friend from Greece taught me, and I think what I cook at home is just as good as any restaurant's offerings at much less cost and and I know healthier.Although I will eat some shrimp that is for sale here that is direct from the Gulf Coast, my other seafood comes from Alaska: Halibut, scallops, and hughe Spot Shrimp that taste more like lobster.

My side dishes are usally simple, like steamed kale and other things from my garden. The rest of the year I eat from the farmer's market.
