quick bite...

I know you all think we don't love you... Mr. Kaos is so busy being Mr. Kaos that he never ever ever has the time to write here and I wanted this to be his little corner of the interweb so I have tried to stay away, but I can't let him neglect you any longer so let me tell you the tale of our Saturday.

It is 4:37 in the afternoon. K woke us up at 6:38 AM. That was very odd indeed considering she complained every other day this week about waking at that hour... but none the less Saturday is here and early she must rise...

There was nothing fancy for breakfast, just simple (but heavenly) sandwiches for lunch but what on earth to do for dinner? We haven't been grocery shopping in weeks. I mean we have popped into the store to grab something we needed but we haven't been grocery shopping so old mother Kaos' cupboard is bare.

Do you think anyone wanted to leave the house today? No... so what I detail below is something thrown together from fridge, freezer and shelf... Enjoy

Foil Pouched Salmon Fillet

Frozen individually packaged salmon fillets
Tin Foil
Olive Oil
Seasonings to taste (in the pouches for K and I put olive oil, garlic, kosher salt, dill, black pepper and a pat of butter, Mr. Kaos did his own thing)

Place the salmon on a square of tin foil, add olive oil and seasonings. finish with a spritz of lemon or butter.

Wrap the salmon in the foil, if you fear it may leak you can wrap it in one additional piece.

Place on grill over medium heat 4-5 minutes a side if thawed 10 minutes a side if frozen.

Served with:

Pouched baby potatoes

I've taken the little potatoes, sliced them in two, seasoned them simply (olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, garlic and diced shallots).

Wrap in foil and toss them on the grill over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

Last but not least our veg.

Pouched broccoli (are we sensing a theme)

Clean and cut broccoli, place on tin foil and season with olive oil, POWDERED garlic and kosher salt. Place on grill over medium heat 3-4 minutes a side.

Look, I never left the house (oh, except to get my hair done and my pesky brows waxed, but that is a tale for another blog)
