I think I buy seafood from Publix because of him. I love it when Lon is serving me. I've come to appreciate the short, soft spoken, humble seafood counter gentleman for a while now. I am sure he doesn't remember me every time, but he definitely has made a mark on me. See, Lon is from the type of people that you don't think much of but then they surprise you with their unusual characteristics.
The first time I met him I realized he's very well read, that he speaks multiple languages and that he has a vast knowledge of the world. The other day, when I was intent on making salmon for dinner, he remembered I was from Romania and that Romanian is a Romance language, stemming from Latin, just like Spanish and Italian... and that I spoke German, so we started chatting a bit in German... He told me he met a couple from Germany that day and that I live in Siebenburgen, which is the German word for Transylvania. He knew the story of the merchants that were doing trade in Transylvania in the 16th century and how one of the most strategically placed cities in the mountains was a hub for oriental trade. That is knowledge I don't come across often... I love talking to him! He amazes me every time! I guess the lesson is, never think that you know a book by its cover. The cover might not match the inside...it might be misleading and you'll have to do the discovering. For me, the discovery has been very refreshing. Here's to more fresh salmon!
I made it super yummy that night...with butter and dill with a side of Parmesan arugula salad and israeli couscous with roasted peppers and beans.
Another recipe I made up yesterday was vegetarian enchiladas: tortillas stuffed with rice, onions, peas, carrots and black beans, topped with cheese and a side of tomato, corn and green onion salsa.
Not sure you're watching So You Think You Can Dance, but this season has been rolling out some pretty amaaaaahhh-zing choreographies...like this one:
How moving is that? I love the creativity of the movement in dance. It's amazing how a powerful dance routine can be so packed of emotion!
The week-end is coming, what do you have planned??
