I spent most of Thanksgiving this year alone again, so I decided to make lots of delicious food for myself to celebrate.

• Clam chowder
  • Use the salmon chowder recipe from The Pacific Northwest Seafood Book by Naomi Tomky, replacing the salmon with canned clams instead. It was fantastic, even if it was more soup-y and less chowder-y than I wanted. I can solve that problem next time.
• Lemon thyme salmon
  • Simple oven recipe also from the above book. Used some thyme to bake over it, since I bought some for the clam chowder.
• Spinach/arugula salad with homemade dressing
  • Dressing is homemade mayonnaise mixed with parmesan, salt, anchovies, garlic, and tonkatsu sauce.
