The alternate title for this post was "I Just Gorged Myself On Salmon & Sparkling Wine... And How Is YOUR Night Going?"
But I opted out of being a smartass.
Because it is still snowing here in Portland (and therefore still the season to get indoors immediately and curl up in a big cozy sweater with a glass-of-something) I wasn't in the mood for cooking a big hooplah of a meal.
But salmon sounded positively perfect so a quick stop at the store for a fillet and a bottle of bubbly did just the trick.
Sometimes the simplest dinners are the best.
Especially when paired with a little Don Draper on the side...
