I did something seriously stupid making a cole slow to put on ahi tacos. Salted up the cabbage and red onion in the colander while I made the dressing. Then...guess what? Didn't rinse the goddamned salt off before adding and mixing in all the dressing.
And I also added a modest amount of salt to coat the tuna filet :(
Dinner is in an hour. Am I screwed? The slaw dressing already has both mayo and sour cream, plus lime juice. I realized my buffoonery after tasting it. The salt level is what I would term quite high but potentially salvageable.

The Jan. 6 committee said in a new court filing that it believes Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election violated several laws.
The House panel said the evidence so far indicates Trump tried to obstruct an official proceeding.
It also said the evidence suggests Trump conspired to defraud the United States and engaged in common law fraud.
The House select committee investigating the Capitol riot said in a new court filing Thursday that it believes former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results violated several laws.
The panel said the evidence it's gathered so far suggests that Trump tried to obstruct an official proceeding; conspired to defraud the United States; and engaged in common law fraud.
With respect to obstruction of Congress, the filing noted that six judges "have addressed the applicability" of the relevant statute "to defendants criminally charged in connection with the January 6th attack on the Capitol."
"Each has concluded that Congress's proceeding to count the electoral votes on January 6th was an 'official proceeding' for purposes of this section, and each has refused to dismiss charges against defendants under that section," the filing said.
The committee also believes Trump and members of his campaign "engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States," in violation of federal law.
To prove such a violation, the filing said, prosecutors must establish that "the defendant entered into an agreement … to obstruct a lawful function of the government … by deceitful or dishonest means, and … that a member of the conspiracy engaged in at least one overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy."
Moreover, that agreement doesn't have to be explicit, the filing said, and can "be inferred from the conspirators' conduct in furtherance of their common objectives."
Wednesday's filing came days after a federal judge ruled that Trump can be sued over the Capitol riot, noting that Trump's actions in the days and hours preceding the riot could "reasonably be viewed as a call for collective action" and that he and his followers acted toward a common goal.
"That is the essence of a civil conspiracy," Judge Amit Mehta said in his 112-page ruling.
Insider has reached out to a spokesperson for Trump for comment.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sat for an exclusive interview with CNN and Reuters on Tuesday.
The leader pleaded for more international assistance in Ukraine's fight against Russian forces.
"...If Ukraine falls, then all these troops will be on the borders of your NATO member countries," he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday reignited calls for more international assistance as Russia continues its warpath in Ukraine, warning of dire consequences across the continent should the country fall.
On Tuesday, Zelensky sat for an exclusive interview with CNN and Reuters from the bunker in Kyiv in which he is directing his country's military response.
The 44-year-old has refused to evacuate the capital city even as Russian forces continue to advance, delivering video updates and rousing speeches from an undisclosed, heavily guarded location near the city's center.
The president urged NATO member countries to impose a "no-fly zone" to halt the Russian air force, arguing that the move would be a preventative measure and not an instigating attack that could draw the alliance into the war.
The US and other NATO member countries have repeatedly ruled out imposing a "no-fly zone," which would require NATO aircraft to patrol the skies, authorized to shoot down any air intruders who refuse to withdraw. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Monday that imposing the "no-fly zone" would be equivalent to declaring war on Russia.
"This is not about dragging NATO countries into war. The truth is everyone has long since been dragged into war and definitely not by Ukraine, but by Russia — a large-scale war is going on," Zelensky told Reuters.
"Our partners, if they are not ready to take Ukraine into NATO ... because Russia does not want Ukraine to be in NATO, should work out common security guarantees for Ukraine," Zelensky told the outlets.
"This means that we have our territorial integrity, that our borders are protected, we have special relations with all our neighbors, we are completely safe, and the guarantors that give us security, they guarantee this legally," he added.
In the interviews, Zelensky predicted troubles ahead for neighboring NATO countries should Russia ultimately succeed in seizing Ukraine. In recent speeches, the president has worked to link the short-term security of Ukraine to the long-term geopolitical health of the West.
"It is very important to know that if Ukraine falls, then all these [Russian] troops will be on the borders of your NATO member countries," Zelensky said. "And you will be facing the same question there."

Hi all, I have a bunch of myler lemons, clementines and limes that I want to use to make a mixed citrus ice cream. I am concerned that when I mix the citrus juice with the milk/cream that they would curdle. The recipes I'm reading don't address this. How do I do this properly?

Biden during his SOTU address said Putin "badly miscalculated" by invading Ukraine.
Putin "met a wall of strength he never anticipated or imagined" in Ukraine, Biden said.
"The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage, but the next few days, weeks, months, will be hard on them," Biden said.
President Joe Biden during his first State of the Union address on Tuesday night said Russian President Vladimir Putin "badly miscalculated" with his invasion of Ukraine.
"Six days ago, Russia's Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated," Biden said.
"He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never anticipated or imagined," Biden said of Putin, adding, "He met the Ukrainian people."
Biden then called for a standing ovation for Ukraine, which prompted applause and cheering across the House floor.
"The Ukrainian Ambassador to the US is here tonight, sitting with the First Lady. Let each of us if you're able to stand, stand and send an unmistakable signal to the world and Ukraine," Biden said.
Biden ripped into Putin, whom he referred to as a "Russian dictator," for launching a "premeditated and totally unprovoked" war against Ukraine.
The president would go on to cite the ways the US has moved to punish Putin for the invasion, including "powerful economic sanctions."
Biden said the US and its allies are "cutting off Russia's largest banks from the international financial system" and "choking off Russia's access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come."
Russia's war in Ukraine has rallied the West against it, prompting the US and countries across Europe to move to isolate Putin both economically and politically. A number of countries that previously took neutral stances or refused to send weapons to Ukraine have reversed their policies in response to the Russian invasion. The steps taken against Russia in recent days have already battered its economy and seen the value of the Russian ruble plunge to a record low.
The US has provided Ukraine with billions in security assistance since Russia last invaded Ukraine in 2014, including lethal aid. Biden during his speech said the US would continue to aid Ukraine, but underscored that US "forces are not engaged and will not engage in the conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine."
Putin launched a war against Ukraine last week. Russia's military is widely considered to be the second most powerful in the world, and many analysts expected it to swiftly overwhelm Ukraine's armed forces. But Russia has been met with stiffer resistance than it anticipated.
That said, fighting was ongoing as Biden spoke on Tuesday night, with Kyiv bracing for a massive Russian assault. A miles-long Russian convoy is advancing on the Ukrainian capital, and cities across the country have faced intense shelling — further testing Ukraine's resolve in the face of Russian aggression.
Biden acknowledged the grim situation in his speech.
"The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage, but the next few days, weeks, months, will be hard on them," Biden said. "Putin has unleashed violence and chaos. While he may make gains on the battlefield, he will pay a continuing high price over the long run."

President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that the US is closing its airspace to Russian flights.
The ban comes after the EU and Canada also banned Russian-operated aircraft from their airspace.
The US and the EU has been looking to expand sanctions on Russia after the country attacked Ukraine last week.
President Joe Biden banned Russian flights from US airspace following the escalating Russian invasion of Ukraine, the president announced Tuesday.
"Tonight I'm announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American airspace to all Russian flights" Biden said during State of the Union Address, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin "has no idea what's coming."
The move comes after the European Union and Canada also closed their respective airspace to Russian-owned and -operated aircraft.
The Russian aircraft ban comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Biden personally told him that the US nor NATO would not impose a "no-fly zone" over Ukraine, citing the risk that it could be seen as a declaration of war on Russia, which is a nuclear superpower.
"Our partners, if they are not ready to take Ukraine into NATO ... because Russia does not want Ukraine to be in NATO, should work out common security guarantees for Ukraine," Zelensky told Reuters and CNN.
The US and the European Union expand sanctions on Russia after the country attacked Ukraine last week. As the invasion enters its seventh day, Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to attack the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv as Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, was hit by Russian missiles.
