From Cat In The Hat To Salmon


The first thing Yohan and I did was have our photo taken with Dr Seuss' Cat in the hat photo op board. The Discover Museum and Space Center in Sacramento is small, there's really nothing much to see. We were not able to see the Planetarium show, was informed that they only show it on weekends. The fee was $6 for adult and $4 for children 4 to 12 years old. We have seen more exhibit at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffet Field, and admission was FREE. Yohan had fun with the solar system though. But it's a place you don't keep coming back to. We had picnic at their garden, Jeff bought Little Ceasar's pizza for only $4.99. Trust me, it was more than enough for the three of us. It was overflowing with cheese and salami. No wonder I still feel bloated.

We decided to buy salmon for dinner at the Ranch Market. We got sidetracked by Payless, so we decided to walk in. We just wanted to buy Yohan a pair of sandals for Spring. She insisted on a chuck (style) knee high shoes.. But ended up with a glass (clear plastic) pair of slippers and my pair of American Eagle shoes for only five bucks! What a treat! Can you still buy shoes for $5? I don't think so..

We have not been eating fish lately. I need to force Yohan to eat fish to change her eating habits and consume more omega threes in her diet. Salmon is expensive! I bought one kind which was $5.99 a pound. And then two pounds of the $4.99 a pound. I will buy salmon in Costco next time.. 7 chunky pieces of kirkland salmon was $20, sometimes there are $5 coupons from the manufacturer when you buy.
I just baked it and put salt, pepper, and lemon. It was pretty good. I used to just fry it in canola oil and it looked bad. But I found a secret from Ate Myra, fry it with Olive oil and it will remain intact.

On our way home, I was eating my Green burrito taco salad. I cut out a coupon for two for six dollars. That was the only reason we went there. Good deal though, regular price was $9 for two. It was so delicious, I felt so guilty after devouring it, it has beef, brown beans, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. Salmon would have to wait for lunch tomorrow ( for me). Yohan already had it. Thank goodness..

Well, I realized it's a calorie filled fun day. Maybe no pizza and burrito for tomorrow? :)
