Salmon with Melon Salsa

June 5, 2012

There’s no place like home.

Eric and I got home less than 24 hours ago from our first vacay for the summer.

We went camping for 5 days, in the mountains. It was hot, it was cold, it rained, it rained again, our tent flooded, our tent collapsed, not once, not twice, but three times. We laughed. We cried. We might have cursed under our breath more times than I dare share with my Mother.

So 5 days, 17 hours, 1056 miles (round trip) and 4 showers later we are back home safe and sound.

I love camping and had a great time despite our crazy adventures!

But camping is a lot of work and lacks certain things, like you know, plumbing.

And technology. I had very little cell phone service and no internet on my phone while there. I missed being in touch with the outside world for those five days (and am totally behind on EVERYTHING now) but at the same time I enjoyed the disconnect. The peacefulness of not needing to check in, up load, return emails and messages. No blogging, no tweets, no Facebook, no deadlines or conference calls. Total peace and quiet and solitude.

I also missed my kitchen. Don’t get me wrong, we ate like kings for those 5 days, Cajun sausage, eggs and hash browns, burgers; (I plan to do a whole post about camping cooking soon) but missed fresh fruit and veggies (and ice cold drinks). So badly, that on our way home we stopped for salads and seriously couldn’t wait to rip into it!

This meal is the perfect, recover from camping, light and refreshing fill my body with lacking nutrients type of meal.

    I think I would gladly take a vacation right now where I am forced to disconnect. It's taking over my life right now!! And I can see how this salmon would be so refreshing after a week of cooking out. ANd I can't wait to see the camping recipes!

    Yes please a post of camping cooking ideas! I am sorry the camping trip was not as fun as hoped but at least it was still a little bit of fun!
