Healthy dinner, yet doesn't taste as lame as one.

I was unwillingly forced to stand in line for a movie (and of course watch it) with a friend of mine. It apparently ranked 3rd as the largest opening weekend in cinema history. I will admit that...I enjoyed the film; it was pretty exciting except for the sappy love subplot...you know the whole Hollywood "oh you are going to die thus I love you, let us make out and consummate our love". But yeah, in general it was worth the line up in cold windy weather.
Anywho to warm your bellies, in case you are standing in line for this film with a piece of raw salmon and an oven here is a recipe for: Lentil Salad with Salmon and Gouda. So hope your Hunger is Gamed....Har Har! (sorry)
