“ANOTHER holiday this week?! You had one last week! Why do you have so many holidays?!” If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me that I would have something like 45 cents. Seriously. Well don’t get too excited, our next holiday is not a fun holiday, but our day of repentance where we have to fast. The week leading up to this fast day (right now) is when we have to apologize and ask forgiveness to people we may have wronged in the last year. Given the majority of my readership consists of people I know, I figure this is a good platform to do that. So here goes…
That felt sincere.
The food this week! I decided to post a delicious salmon recipe. If you’re my family, this recipe will help you get through the fast as the sight of fish repulses most of them. I, on the other hand, love it.
^me…kidding, I wish I was Emma Stone.
The chili lime mayo is not pictured above because, in all honesty, I made it and forgot to serve it. The next day I found it in my fridge and tried it with my leftovers and I promise it is delicious and well worth serving. Hopefully you’re more organized than I am.

For everyone fasting; have an easy fast!
For those of you not fasting; please don’t take it personally if I stab you in the eye with a fork if you choose to eat a sandwich in front of me.
