joint dinner affair

The other night, Tom decided we should have fish for dinner. He asked how I wanted it prepared; I requested salmon with a ginger-soy sauce. He grilled some salmon with a delicious ginger-honey-soy sauce -- it was perfect.
I also decided that I wanted to make "something" with red lentils. I pored through our books, and decided on a red lentil & bulgar wheat "croquette" recipe from Food & Wine. (Kinda like felafel, made with red lentils rather than chick peas as the bulk ingredient.) I must admit: this is the first time I've ever been disappointed by a Food & Wine recipe. Despite nearly 2 hours of prep & cooking time, it came out rather bland... although I thought it was pretty enough to photograph.
