Today is day three of The Three Day Potty Training method. And I dare say it worked. It is very intense (i.e. throwing away all diapers, not leaving the house, staying by Hudson's side during his every waking moment)...but in the end worth it. My husband actually did the first two days, which were the hardest. I have always thought that anything to do with pooping and farts is pretty funny. I didn't outgrow that stage. I can talk to clients and patients about with a straight face...I am a professional. But at home, not so much. I think that is the only thing that has gotten me through...the humor. Plus I am exploding with pride for him. It also makes me a little sad to see my oldest baby running around in big boy undies, no matter how cute his little bum looks. I am sure we will eventually recoup the money we spent on rewards and presents through not buying diapers. You are welcome landfill. Prior to all this potty business I noticed fresh, west coast caught, sockeye salmon was around...my favorite type of salmon. I decided to try Toasted Sesame Ginger Salmon. Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds salmon of your choice 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 tablespoons freshly grated ginger 1-2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds 4 green onions or chives, sliced Directions: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, vinegar, brown sugar and whisk well until combined. Add salmon and marinade to a ziplock bag, then refrigerate and marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 24 hrs) Preheat your grill on medium heat to about 325-350 degrees. Remove salmon with kitchen tongs and place directly on the grill skin side up. Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on the salmon’s thickness (our’s was just about an inch thick), until opaque and easily flakable with a fork. Flip the salmon halfway through cooking. Remove and serve immediately, with a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds, green onions and the glaze below. Sesame Ginger Honey Glaze 1/4 cup honey 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour over salmon. Adapted from here. So, so, so good. Restaurant quality, for sure to impress your guests or family. I am not a huge ginger lover so I toned it down a bit. Can't think of a better way to get a good dose of omega three fatty acids and other heart healthy fats. Perfect served with some brown rice and a fresh salad.
So I hope I haven't jinxed our potty training progress...and know that I am snickering to myself everytime there is a little toot on the potty.
