It Was Darn Good

The other night Hubby Tony had a dinner meeting, so I was on my own to find something to eat. Even though I could have scavenged something from the refrigerator I decided to walk up to the grocery store and see if there was anything in the clearance section to enhance the meal.

The Clearance Section gods were smiling down on me. I ended up buying a one-person marinated salmon kebab and a container of yellow cherry tomatoes. Both were $1.50.

Back at home, I put the tomatoes in the oven to roast. When they were almost done I took apart the kebab and added the salmon chunks to the pan. I cut up leftover roasted eggplant, and boiled a serving of Chinese noodles. When everything was ready I put the noodles in a bowl, dumped everything else on top, and added a large sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning.

My one-person meal was tasty, and just what my stomach needed.

    Topped with Everything Bagel seasoning, the dish sounds both inventive and delicious. It’s a cozy, comforting moment captured beautifully.

    Oh, I love a good "scavenge turned gourmet" story! Finding those clearance section gems is always such a win, and you really turned them into something spectacular. Roasted tomatoes, salmon, eggplant, and Everything Bagel seasoning? Sounds like a perfectly balanced, delicious, and deeply satisfying solo dinner. Yum!

    I just shared a new post, I invite you to read and let me know what you think.

    that sounds delicious! I wish we lived closer to a supermarket, but I am not willing to give up my modicum of seclusion that I enjoy more than food!
