Columbia and Hubby's Salmon

I am a recent Columbia Business School graduate, and yesterday evening the Dean of Admissions was holding an information session in Dallas.  I thought this would be a great opportunity to meet other alumni in the area as well as share my experience with prospective students in the metroplex (that's what they call the Dallas-Fort Worth area).  I got all dressed up in my cutest business casual and made the rush hour drive to Dallas.  It was nice to break from my routine and see new people... no offense to hubby.  I had a wonderful time speaking with prospective students and even got a couple of suggestions about things to do in Fort Worth.  One suggestion hubby and I will definitely have to follow up on is Times Ten Cellars.  They are a wine bar/tasting lounge where you can have their wine as well as other Texan wines.  It sounds like a fun place, and Yelp gives it a 4.5 rating, which is pretty impressive.

I stayed at the information session longer than I had expected to, and hubby had to take over dinner duty.  I had already planned on having salmon and vegetables inspired by a meal in Self magazine's "Drop 10" plan.  Since we're only eating one of the Self meals, we have no plans on dropping 10, but if that happens, it would be great.  At the very least, we are eating healthy.  Hubby cooked up the salmon and asparagus perfectly.  I actually think I couldn't have done it better myself.  Unfortunately, he didn't take any pictures to show you, so today's post is picture-less.  Just imagine perfectly pink salmon topped with chili powder, oregano, and salt with vibrant green asparagus stalks lightly seasoned on the side.  It was scrumptious, and I didn't feel guilty about eating everything on my plate.
