I just got too excited.

Too excited about these salmon burgers.

Too excited about the coconut caramelized pineapple I put on these burgers.

Too excited about the Hawaiian BBQ sauce dripping down the burger.

Can you guys tell, I get really, really excited about things.

And when I say things, what I really mean is food. Especially pretty food on pretty things. I also get way too excited about an empty house, a clean house, flowers and ah… lists.

Yeah, I love lists.

Although, lately my list making abilities have been highly sub-par

Meaning I actually have not made a list in a month and trust me, my life has been a scattered mess the past thirty days without them. I must get back to my list making. I am seriously craving a really good list.

I need one for the grocery store today. It’s gonna be long. Think Santa’s Christmas list long. Trust me if Santa would pay one of our grocery bills for Christmas that would be awesome. Feeding way too many people over here.

Way too many.

Like I said the other week, we are over capacity.

Oh, and none of the people I am feeding like good food.

With the exception of my dad, and sort of my mom – remember she doesn’t like any fish or seafood. But my dad is only one person and he doesn’t need to eat all that much.

The hungry must eat all the time, they must eat mass amounts, and none of it can have anything to do with seafood, fruit or vegetables. Pastas can only have cheese or butter. Pizzas, only cheese and sauce. Even chicken with anything other than smashed potato chips all over it, is highly suspect to them.

Yeah, you see what I am dealing with here? It is torture. Ninty five percent of the dinners I make, I also have to make a separate dinner for the boys.

It sinks.

Especially since they are missing out like crazy.

Even my mom is missing out.

Well, half missing out. I made her a Hawaiian chicken sandwich, with the pineapple and sauce. She loved it. Actually she went crazy for it, but she is still missing out on the benefits of salmon. But if you too are not into seafood or salmon, you can definitely do this with chicken and it still tastes great.

But the salmon is better… in my opinion at least.

Plus, look at that pretty pink color.

I love it.

The fresh copper river salmon that is in the store right now is just insane.

Insanely pretty.

Insanely good.

It’s just insane!

Kind of like the amount of photos in this post.

Sorry.

I just could not choose. Choosing is way too hard. No, more like impossible.

I honestly cannot do it.

So, I just gave you a boatload of them.

Hope you don’t mind.

Oh and just a FYI, I am in a pineapple phase right now. I cut up three over the weekend. Yes, three. I really hope you guys are into pineapple. If not, I promise some more pasta and chocolate and creamy things soon.

It’s all gonna be so good.
