Packing Boxes and Salmon

Tuesday, August 10, 2010, in the A.M. is our planned departure.  Adam and I have been anxiously awaiting our cross-country move for months and we are ready to hit the road!  Of course there are many people that we will miss and are quite sad to say goodbye too but we are also really looking forward to living near family and some of our other loved ones.  We will be living in Provo, UT where  Adam will start his MBA program at the Marriott school and I start work at Kids On The Move helping to develop their new autism preschool.  Adam's family will be only a short 30min. drive north from us and we will also be a lot closer to my family in Portland, OR than we are now. 
With packing,  driving cross-country, unpacking, and starting school and work all in one week it's going to be/is a whirlwind of activity- hopefully we will emerge unscathed.  As it stands now, we are making steady progress packing and, though our apartment looks like a war zone, we should be ready for our moving crew, courtesy of the Quince Orchard LDS congregation,  to help load the moving van on Monday night.  We will be very sad to leave our congregation at church.  They have been so welcoming and friendly from day one! 

Behold the Mighty Moving Mess

This afternoon we took a break from packing to gather some supplies from Costco.  That place is nothing short of a mad house on a Saturday afternoon.  Despite the chaos it was a very worthy trip.  We found salmon for so cheap!  When we got home I went in search of the perfect salmon recipe and came across quite a gem. 
You all MUST try this recipe for dijon glazed salmon.  I made it tonight and am in love- and I was only a moderate salmon fan to start with.  Adam, the esteemed food critic, gave it a 10 out of 10.

To healthy it up a bit I made my own bread crumbs and seasoning using 4 meba toast crackers ground up and mixed with 1/4 Teaspoon of each of the following: basil, oregano, parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.  I also omitted the butter and added a slice of tomato to each fillet for moisture and a tad extra flavor.  It's AMAZING!  And good for you too.
Let me know what you think!

Yumm!

 PS.  The salmon was a great price at Costco- good, healthy, and cheap are my best friends.
