I love it with just lemon juice- I go a little nuts with the fresh lemon and just squeeze it on every bite as I eat it. YUM. I'm going to be SO sad when it gets cold...but I'm still determined to make my hubs grill it so he'd better get his gloves and hat ready!<br /><br />I still need to read Anna and the French Kiss- glad you liked it!Abby Minardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963640263845561309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-61211097572117061032011-09-12T18:52:49.799-05:002011-09-12T18:52:49.799-05:00Nice recipe :) And I totally understand the busy f...Nice recipe :) And I totally understand the busy factor and how we teachers need our rest. The school year started for us here in VA last week (after Labor Day) and I've been dragging ever since. <br /><br />I LOVED Anna and the French Kiss. Pam read it and raved, so I felt like I HAD to read it--and OMIGOD she was so right! I'm reading Victoria Schwab's The Near Witch right now. She has a very beautiful writing style.Marquita Hockadayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931541485018513281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-57517160836287575242011-09-12T16:51:40.154-05:002011-09-12T16:51:40.154-05:00Wasn't Anna and the French Kiss lovely?

I always thought it was such a waste to have a day or two of school followed by a long weekend. But here you are back in the thick of things!<br /><br />Christy, I'm afraid Mr. Random.org didn't pull your name out for our para critique feature this week. Dang! But if it helps at all, I like your paragraph a lot. I think it sets the tone well, it's active, and it sets up the relationship btwn. the mother and daughter well. People often say not to start a chapter with dialogue. It's tricky because the reader doesn't feel as grounded, but it can work. If you are concerned about that at all, I think you could simply reverse the order of your first two sentences so the reader knows we're in the car with mom, then sees the action.Linda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001433214194860481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-28212210255131700222011-09-12T09:57:31.807-05:002011-09-12T09:57:31.807-05:00It's our first Monday, too, because we always ...It's our first Monday, too, because we always start after Labor Day. We had a very busy weekend with lots of playing for the kids.<br /><br />I love salmon!<br /><br />I'm reading Nova Ren Suma's Imaginary Girls. Very lyrical.

Here in CO, the kids started back at the end of August. :shrug: When I homeschooled, sometimes we went year-round - depending on her needs and drive. And now she's in college. Yay.<br /><br />The salmon sounds yummy. Heh, I always use a baggie for marinating, too. It's so much easier. =o)B.E.
