 |
| Source |
Ingredients:
1 pound wild salmon fillet, skinned (see Tip)
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion, or scallion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or canola oil
4 tablespoons Green Goddess Sauce, (recipe follows)
Directions:
With a large chef’s knife, chop salmon using quick, even, straight-up-and-down motions (do not rock the knife through the fish or it will turn mushy) until you have a mass of roughly 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to large bowl and gently stir in onion (or scallion), cilantro, ginger, salt and pepper, being careful not to overmix. Divide the mixture into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours) before cooking.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers and cook until browned on both sides and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total. Serve with 1 tablespoon Green Goddess Sauce each.

The 5 Biggest Fitness Mistakes

Mistake #1: You Don't Lift Weights
You’ve no doubt been told that aerobic exercise is the key to losing your gut, but weight training is actually more valuable. Three reasons:
1. Lifting protects your muscle.
2. Lifting boosts your metabolism.
3. Lifting torches calories.
Mistake #2: You Don’t Use the Right Dumbbells
Your goal is to challenge your muscles, not just go through the motions. For instance, if you can lift a weight 15 times, it’s not going to do your muscles much good to lift it for only 8 repetitions.
Mistake #3: You Don’t Work Your Lower Body
To cut inches from your waist, make sure you’re working the muscles below your belt.
Mistake #4: You Don’t Watch What You Eat
You can’t out-exercise a bad diet. After all, you can eat 1,000-calorie fast food burger in just 5 minutes, but it’ll take you more than an hour to burn that many calories with physical activity.
Mistake #5: You Skip Workouts
We’re all busy, but that’s usually just a lame excuse. After all, plenty of people find time to exercise. And when was the last time you heard someone say they regretted their workout?Read more at health.yahoo.net

My Hair Today: Twist Out
Today I decided to take another shot at a twist out. I've tried doing this style before but I was never satisfied with the outcome. Since today was wash day, I started out with freshly washed hair. Using Kinky Curly Curling Custard I did about 20 twists.
After the twist dried I separated each twist 3 to 4 times. Here are my results:

My Experience: I've used this product before in the past and I've always had great results. It gave me great curl definition and gives my hair a great shine to it. However, it did not elongate my curls. Of course when I first applied the product to soaking wet hair my curls did hang. Although, after my hair was fully dried there was some major shrinkage. I didn't mind at all, I loved the way my hair looked. I guess if I had used a blow dryer to stretch my curls that would have helped with the length.
