Cold Fish

I like to bake salmon in aluminum foil for about a half hour then broil it for three or four minutes with a fresh coating of butter and lemon. I do this all in the toaster over.

Tonight I followed my normal routine. When the timer went off at thirty minutes I melted the butter in the microwave and got the lemon juice ready. I opened the oven to get the fish and it was empty. I looked around the counter thinking I had already taken it out but my brain disagreed.

When I had wrapped the fish and turned on the oven I had put the fish on TOP of the toaster oven instead of in it. I corrected and laughed at myself. The timer went off and I opened the package to season it. I turned the oven to broil and set the timer for five minutes.

When I got back into the living room something triggered my brain. I went back and sure enough I had put the tray back on top of the oven.

Another senior moment to share. The high point of my day.
