I just finished meeting with my new Japanese tandem partner and I’m exhausted. She as well. That must mean we did it right. ;) We studied for three hours straight.

Today the roomie was googling for next Friday's Dinner-with-Buffy recipe, and found this (sorry, it's in German...):
( Salmon from the Dishwasher )

I thought I'd share the recipe from this week's 'Dinner with Buffy'... 'cause it was as easy to cook as it was delicious. And because my book is done, I have today off and tomorrow as well, and I got plenty of time. (Translating recipes is hard... I tried my best with the conversions, correct me if I got them wrong.)
