A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

GO ON. YOU WERE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT "BEST INTENTIONS"?? We really meant to watch Top Chef tonight, but it got lost in the mix. Here's what we did instead:

Slightly Savory Salmon w/ Red Pepper Rice

Chop 1 onion and carmelize slightly on stovetop in 1/4 stick butter with fresh thyme
Place 2 1/4lb portions of salmon in pan atop 2" sprigs of rosemary
Dump onions, thyme and butter atop salmon
Place in oven at 350 degrees for 30 mins

Chop 1 red pepper and soften on stovetop in 1/4 stick butter with bay leaf and fresh thyme and dash salt
Raise heat to not-messing-around and add 3 cups water and 1 cup rice
Cut back to a simmer as it boils
Remove from heat in time to plate with salmon

Suggested pairing: Castelli di Luxxano 2006 "Tasto di Seta" Colli Piacentini Malvasia

So did we win? I bet Tre won...
