I think I said we'd be having bbq beef on a bun last night, but instead I made a beef stir fry. Tonight chicken spinach cheese sausages and a salad, maybe some mashed potatoes.

we had breakfast for supper last night.. i have no sweet clues for tonite.. perhaps haddock?

We ordered a vegetarian pizza last night - it was ok.

I would really just like to make salad for dinner tonight - but - we have no salad stuff! Maybe Mike will stop on the way home and pick some up, in which case we will have taco salads I think.

We had the fish and chips and mushy peas. Only I followed the recipe from Cook's Illustrated for Crunchy Oven-Fried Fish. It was really good so I'll make that again. No deep frying.

Tonight I feel like making NOTHING. But that won't go over too well so I guess I'll have to put in more effort.

Yes, put in more effort there! (says the person who ordered pizza last night)

Crunchy oven fried fish sounds good - do you have a link or recipe ?

Yes, a recipe please! I find it very hard to find good fish coating that's "crunchy" without frying.

Yeah, I'm thinking pizza.

Unfortunately, Cook's Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen) doesn't allow you access to their recipes unless you have a subscription. (Which I don't, but I'm thinking of getting one.) Anyway, here's the recipe:

CRUNCHY OVEN-FRIED FISH

(Bunch of stuff about making breadcrumbs omitted. I refuse to make breadcrumbs so I just used what I had on hand.... Panko breadcrumbs. But let me know if you want the recipe for that too. LOL)

1 1/4 lbs cod, haddock, or other thick white fish fillet (1 to 1.5" thick) cut into 4 pieces

2 TBSP minced fresh parsley leaves (I used dried chives because that's all I had)

1 small shallot, minced (about 2 TBSP) (I used red onion)

1/4 cup plus 5 TBSP unbleached all-purpose flour (I used dry fish & chip batter)

2 large eggs

2 TSP prepared horseradish (optional - I used it)

3 TBSP mayonnaise

1/2 TSP paprika (I didn't have any so didn't use)

1/4 TSP cayenne pepper (I used garlic pepper instead)

1/4 TSP black pepper (I didn't use)

1. Toss breadcrumbs with parsley and shallot.
2. Place flour in 2nd pie plate or other container.
3. Mix together egg, horseradish, mayonnaise, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper.
4. Whisk in remaining 5 TBSP flour until smooth. (Whoops! I missed this step. LOL)
5. Spray wire rack with nonstick cooking spray (I just used olive oil) and place in rimmed baking sheet. Dry fish thoroughly with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. (Whoops. Missed this step too. lol)
6. Dredge fillets in flour; shake off excess.
7. Coat with egg mixture.
8. Coat all sides of fillet with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so that thick layer of crumbs adheres to fish.
9. Transfer to wire rack.
10. Bake at 425 for 18-25 minutes.

Tonight I'm going to an Italian restaurant called Randi's, for a rehearsal dinner (friend's wedding on Saturday). Should be good, since I love Italian food!

We inspected a bulk freighter (large ship used for transporting various goods,) last night and the Captain on the ship insisted on feeding us all dinner which his chef cooked up in the galley. They were Burmese, so the food was different than anything I'd had before.. a spicy chicken soup with noodles and some mystery ingredients, fried chicken marinated in some kind of yummy sauce, and steamed rice.

Even though we weren't exactly sure what we were eating, it was really good! Kind of like Thai food, but not as spicy.

chicken wings that I am going to barbecue, pasta salad that I picked up at the store and raw carrots and dip...

I am going to cook the chicken wings for about 20 minutes in the oven and then take them out and pour some bbq sauce mixed with a little black pepper over them and let that marinate for about 20 to 30 minutes and then finish them off on the barbecue...

oh and in other news, i found ketchup at the Fresh and Easy market that doesn't have HFCS in it it is a fairly large bottle and it only cost about $1.80... I haven't tried it yet but we plan on having burgers this weekend so will try it then....
