I would claim LAST....but I see a couple or 3 green lights that aren't usually on at this time of night...

If I don't catch you, I'm LAST. If I do catch you, I'm LAST!
 
Ugh...I'm LASTing on a train that is stuck behind a broken down train. I think...we're moving now...

:wave:
 
Tiring but good. Get a proper induction tomorrow.
Not thrilled I'm seated next to a smoker who is one where it really lingers...but...oh well.
Project is tedious but doable.

Nearly at the station.
 

Teriyaki Salmon with Stir Fry Vegetables

Tonight’s dinner is Teriyaki Salmon with stir fry vegetables, inspired from Alison's dinner and pictures the other day. :)


My starting ingredients:

For the salmon:
  • Salmon cutlets, one per person
  • Teriyaki Marinade – 2 tablespoon each of soya sauce, brown sugar, sherry mixed together.
  • Oil

Place the salmon cutlets in the marinade and allow to sit for at least 45 minutes.

For the stir fry:
  • Broccolini, 1 bunch, cut into pieces
  • Chinese Cabbage, 4 leaves, sliced with the stems separated from the leafy part
  • Chinese Flowing Cabbage or Choi Sum, 1 bunch, cut into pieces with stems separated from the leafy part
  • Oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon
  • Soya sauce, 1 tablespoon
  • ginger, sliced
  • Oil
  • Sesame Oil


Remove the salmon from the marinade and transfer the marinade to a pot. Cook the marinade on a low boiling simmer for 5 – 10 minutes.

To cook the salmon, heat oil in a pan or wok and fry for about 3 minutes on each side.

Remove from heat when cooked.


To cook the vegetables, heat the oil and sesame oil and fry the ginger.

Place all the vegetable stems in the wok and quickly stir fry for about 2 – 3 minutes.

Then add the leafy bits of the vegetables to the wok and toss quickly.

Place the salmon on a plate with some vegetables and spoon some of the reduced teriyaki sauce over the salmon.


My dinner!

Yikes! They let people smoke in Sydney? It's almost illegal here in most places in California.

Hope the job gets better!
 
So here's my "All American" Memorial weekend dinner for Sunday night. I had planned on making Egg Foo Yung for dinner, but after eight hours of moving crap, I opted for something easier!

I just grilled the dogs, whipped up the cole slaw and corn is just coming into season, the beans were from a can. Easy-peasy! I had one dog, Fran had two. Neither of us finished our beans and cole slaw, so we'll have those with the grilled TriTip tonight.

That's too bad, but I'm not sure that job would have been a good fit for you. Hopefully something better will come your way. :hug:
 
I know... It's just really frustrating, because NO ONE will hire me. That was the first interview I've had that wasn't out in the suburbs.
 
I didn't ask, but I called the other store on my own. They don't have any open positions :( The manager I'd interviewed with at the first store told me he'd keep me on file if something comes up, though.

You can't smoke anywhere inside. You can't smoke even in office building forecourts...technically. We have pretty strict laws. But even though he doesn't smoke inside it is one of those people where the smell follows him everywhere. Just annoying.

Just got a call back from the bridal salon... I didn't get it :sad:

I'm so sorry :( I agree it wasn't a perfect fit but having been unemployed for 5 months I was going to take anything.

I hope you find something else. :hug:

Thanks :hug: It's just to the point that it's really frustrating me because I know I have experience, it's just that my experience is in fairly specialized areas.
 
Have you ever tried working through a temp agency? Do they even have those any more? When I was your age I got a lot of jobs that way. They would hire me on as a temp, see my work ethic and try to find me a place in the company where I could stay on permanently...

I have no idea what the working world is like out there any more, but it worked pretty well. Even when I was working at Alfred Publishing, I actually hired a ton of temps for Data Entry positions when we had major overflow times of the year.
