Mmm… sweet chili salmon. I went to work this morning after a weekend incubating a lurgy and after an hour and a half decided it would be best to come home rather than infect others.
The good thing about my workplace is we have access to work e-mail using secure IT systems from home. I was able to keep up with things that were happening at work and not infect others.
I’d even made lunch for today
This afternoon was as gloomy as how I felt
Last night and tonight I continued the wrap theme and incorporated some quinoa and used sweet chili salmon as my protein.

Shit man, give the quinoa a rest its messing with your head. I’ll post some of the lamb over.
Haha, thanks. I need to break this vicious cycle I’m in 😀
That salmon looks fantastic and in the wrap, even better. I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks Maureen. Hopefully another day at home and I should be right.
Sorry to hear you’ve been sick Gary! That’s no good at all. This looks like a great dish though. I think you should write a quinoa cookbook! 🙂
Thanks Lorraine. I hate being crook. I have been thinking after a few months of this quinoa fad of mine I may put all the recipes together and make a little book.
