Salmon Steak + Veggies

Salmon Steak + Veggies
Originally uploaded by kitakitts

One time I went for a food tasting event and the owner sat down to make sure we'd enjoy our meal. I cannot forget how she remarked that eating salmon dish, for her, is so common. Trying to be agreeable, I just nodded my head.
Though I prefer the fish as sashimi, I also enjoy it when cooked with sour miso soup or grilled or pan fried with veggies. My suki from the market sells them fresh and slices them up with sharp spyderco spyderhawk knives, careful not to violate the pinkish flesh any further. Which reminds me, I may have to cook this dish later for dinner.

What was it again?

World Blood Donor Day 165 / 365 140610

I have been wanting to donate blood ever since. I believe my blood is clean and safe and confidently answered yes when I was asked by the nurse. On three separate attempts, I have been denied and was told my veins are too small.

Last Friday, I really am happy I was actually permitted to give blood. I was suppressing the joy I felt overshadowing my nervousness as this would be my first time. I can endure the pain from the push and pull of the needle with just the thought of being able to help someone. If I can, I'll do this regularly, if only the same person will draw my blood haha

My next move would be to get a donor card, in case something happens to me and my organs are still intact and useful, someone can recycle and benefit from them :)

The challenge now is to stay healthy and stick to best natural diuretics. Aja, fighting!
