I went to my friends Maryam, Ramin and Justin’s house a few nights ago because Raphael is gone hunting with my dad and uncles in the Yukon for a week. I think I have mentioned in a previous post that I don’t like fish but we live in Vancouver so I really need to take advantage of eating what is from here. On a side note, I just wrote a paper for school about the importance of eating fresh and locally. Anyways, Maryam had made Salmon, which is the lesser of the fish evils.

Hope you like!
