So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Buy Salmon Online For Tasty And Nutritious Meals Any Time

By Essie Osborn


Finding a healthy source of animal protein is often easier said than done. Too much red meat in the diet can cause cardiovascular problems and other ailments while chicken is often full of artificial hormones. Fish is a great alternative but not always easy to find fresh if you don't live near the ocean, a river or a lake. Luckily you can simply buy salmon online and prepare healthy, delicious meals.

Salmon is one of the healthiest sources of protein there is. It's full of disease-busting omega-3 fatty acids that will keep your heart healthy. Omega-3 fatty acids are also used in the treatment of ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder and depression. The fish also contains large amounts of Vitamin D, which is essential for bone health.

Salmon is mainly found in the northern parts of the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. There are different species, from the chinook of the northwestern parts of North America to the masu of Japan, the Korean peninsula and Russia. The carnivorous fish live in the ocean but lay their eggs in freshwater streams. They can travel hundreds of miles inland to spawn, after which they die.

Overfishing has had an impact on salmon populations, just like it's affected most fish species. Farmed fish is an attempt to try and produce enough to meet the immense demand but foodies normally prefer wild fish, which is of better quality. When ordering your fish supply online, check the supplier's record and find out exactly where the fish was sourced so that you can ensure it was harvested through sustainable practices.

There are many ways in which to prepare the king of fish. It's especially good if you grill it. Drizzle it with a bit of lemon juice to keep things simple or marinate the fish in a marinade made of soy sauce before cooking it. A fresh salsa goes well with the grilled fish and you may want to experiment with fruits such as peaches or mangoes for something different.

For a Scandinavian twist, try making gravlax. This is fish cured in a mixture containing salt, sugar, spices, herbs and sometimes even a bit of liquor. The fish is also great for making sushi. Be aware though that raw fish can contain parasites, which is why the Japanese don't traditionally use this species raw. One way to get around the risk of parasites is to buy from a supplier who will only sell fish that has passed the test for quality and safety.

Smoked salmon is a tasty delicacy that can be enjoyed as is, served with lettuce and cream cheese for a taste sensation. Leftovers from either the fresh or smoked variety don't have to go to waste. Use it to make a spread that is delicious on fresh bread or form them into fish cakes or burgers.

There are hundreds of online suppliers of salmon. Check the customer reviews to choose one that you think will provide the best value. Most suppliers will deliver straight to your doorstep within a day or two of your placing your order, so you won't have to wait too long before you can start experimenting with scrumptious dishes.
