Baked Salmon and Stir Fried Veggies--Molly age 12

Measuring oil for marinade.

She can take the heat. 

The most controversial part of dinner. 

Finished Product.

Molly's Take:  The salmon was really good, and it and the rice were easy to make.  The vegetables were easy too, but I didn't do all of the work on them.  They were a little bland, though.

Amy's Take:  Dinner was late tonight.  Sandra was attending a science class called "Try This At Home."  I kind of regret it.  Please never, never encourage my children to make ooblek at home.  It is only interesting for about two minutes before they decide to test its scientific properties on all kinds of different surfaces--like the living room carpet.  Anyway, Molly made this salmon recipe  http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/baked-salmon-ii/detail.aspx  It was easy and good and everyone liked it quite a lot.  We changed it a lot--left out the parsley and pepper, added a teaspoon of lemon-pepper seasoning and used fresh basil and thought there was too much oil in it. And we didn't let it soak in the marinade for an hour--who has time for that?  But I think we'll try it again.
The stir fry consisted of all of the vegetables in our fridge at least slightly reasonable to put in a stir fry as tomorrow is shopping day.  Two mushrooms, half a red pepper, half a tomato, a quarter of an onion, a zucchini and a yellow squash.  I loved it.  Smith did not.  Lucy put a piece of yellow squash in her mouth, chewed for quite a while and then spit it back out on her plate and said something along the lines of "Blech."

Other Opinions:
Lucy: Blech.
