Chicago Cubs Win World Series 2016 After 108-Year Drought!

Celebration from last night and today doesn’t include cooking!

Woo Hoo!!!! 

The Curse is Over!!!!

Just in case you don’t know, the Chicago Cubs are no longer under the “Billy Goat Curse”.  They ended more than a century of frustration ~ a 108-year wait for a World Series title by beating the Cleveland Indians last night in an exciting Game Seven classic.

A 17-minute rain delay followed the ninth inning, when Ben Zorbrist smacked a tie-breaking RBI in a two-run 10^th inning that led the Cubbies to an 8-7 victory over the Indians last night.

Even though, I’m an Ohio Buckeye at heart, I have lived in the Chicago area for over 36 years; I’m a die-hard Chicago Cub fan.   

I feel for the Cleveland Indians and all my family back there in Cleveland and the Columbus area ~ maybe the Indians can try harder next year when the Cubbies will be back and beat them again❣  ☺

Congrats to the Cubbies, Manager Joe Madden, and all of us long-suffering fans.  They had one heck of a year❣❣❣

The only person missing last night was Harry Caray!  He would've loved it!

 Woo hoo!!!

Way to go, Cubbies!!!

 

Delicious Baked Salmon w/Capers, Lemon and Thyme

Here's the salmon scoop:  

If it's wild, it's not Atlantic, 

if it's Atlantic, it's not wild; 

if it's Pacific...

get to know your fishmonger well!

  

Atlantic salmon is farm-raised, and almost all Atlantic salmon sold in grocery stores is farm-raised.  Wild Atlantic salmon is an endangered species, fishing for it is prohibited in this country.  

To add to the confusion ~ there are 5 species of wild Pacific salmon, rely on your fishmonger...
  
Whatever...  I love salmon and  for dinner, this time I opted for a simple version of the fish.

Brush the salmon with melted butter, then arrange lemon slices, capers and thyme over the top.

This is simplicity ~ hassle-free delicious salmon to go with your favorite sides!
