Salmon with Fettuccini and Collard Greens
          This recipe was one that I made up as I was at the store yesterday based on what looked fresh and what was on sale.  I’ve never actually made collard greens but thought I’d give them a whirl as their green loveliness (which is rare this time of the year in Minneapolis) was only $0.68 for the bunch.  I think this meal took 20 minutes to make.  I would guess it serves 4...

Black Watch Sportcoat
                 Currently searching for a Black Watch sportcoat for Gustaf (this one from J.Crew is a cool $495).  I think it would be great dressed up or down, AND probably found for a lot cheaper on Ebay.
