Not as yummy as it sounded

Hubby had copied a recipe from a magazine for open faced salmon sandwiches. It had cucumber and apples on it and a yogurt based sauce. It called for pumpernickel bread. It sounded good on paper but it was not as yummy as it sounded. We love all the parts of it, but something was not quite right. I used up our last three salmon filet portions and we each had one and one half open faced sandwich. We will do something different tomorrow. We still have sliced cucumbers, and sliced apples. I added more honey mustard to the yogurt sauce. We will also add some shredded lettuce, and use canned salmon to make fish tacos tomorrow. We may like it better that way. Nothing goes to waste here. I probably would have liked cream cheese better than yogurt sauce. So what was on your table tonight?

I made homemade pan pizza. I don't like fruit with my food so I couldn't do a sandwich with fish and apples.

So do you eat fruit otherwise? I know some people do not.

I fried a steak for hubs with mashed potatoes and I had buffalo wings and mashed potatoes. Nothing too exciting.

We so seldom have mashed potatoes that I would find that exciting. Yum.

@GardenGerty well they were Bob Evans mashed potatoes which I swear are as good as any I could make from scratch

Interesting combination - though I can't quite "taste" that in my mind. We went out tonight for Thai food!

I have not ever had Thai food except for some soup from a grocery store. I am sure it is not authentic.

I had egg rolls left over from the Chinese food I had yesterday and since I was not too hungry today I finished them.

We often get more than we need if we eat out. It makes a good second meal to eat the left overs.

I did not cook. I know what you mean, sounds better on paper.

Miracle whip, less lemon juice, more honey mustard for the sauce would have helped. Lemon salt and pepper on the fish would have as well.

I think we are having that soon. I got a container out of the freezer. It is cool enough for soup today.

Cucumbers, yogurt sauce and salmon go all well together, I cannot figure the apples, I would surely add dill.

I had purchased dill to put on it, but we forgot. It will go into the salad or whatever we make with the leftover cucumber and apple. I think there was too much lemon in the yogurt sauce.

@LadyDuck Yes, I would have liked it less sour.

@GardenGerty Too much lemon surely spoil the taste and it dilutes too much the yogurt.

I do not think I have ever done hot wings. I think I am scared of them. I like spicy, but not too spicy.

We ordered a pizza bowl. Its pizza without the crust. That fits into my diet.
