I have had some great fish and chips down here... there is a place right around the corner that has awesome fish and chips and deep fried zucchini and onion rings.. mmm mmm mmmm....

We had fish & chips! Yay! Finally! It was soooo good to have some proper fish & chips again. They have not a clue how to make them in the US. Oh.... and with malt vinegar and salt, Warlord.

Yes, you are right, Marilyn. I have had some great fish & chips in California. Let me amend my post. The restaurants I have been to in FLA have not a clue. lol

this is the recipe for the Chicken Tortilla Soup.. I found the recipe online but I made some adjustments to it so here is my revised version... this recipe is about enough for 2 or 3 people but you can easily double the recipe if you want...

Chicken Tortilla Soup

vegetable oil

1 (6 inch) corn tortillas, coarsely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 onion, chopped

1 (15 ounce) can Italian diced tomatoes

1 tablespoons ground cumin

1/2 tablespoon chili powder

2 bay leaves

3 to 4 cups chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (I use just a pinch because I don't like my food too spicy)

1 can corn, drained

1/8 cup uncooked rice

2 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked

1. In a large pot heat oil. Add tortillas, garlic, cilantro and onion. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Stir in tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add cumin, chili powder, bay leaves and chicken stock. Stir in chicken, corn and rice Return to a boil, reduce heat to medium and add salt and cayenne. Simmer for 30 minutes remove bay leaves. Heat through and serve.

*I like to serve these with some tortilla chips coarsely crumbled on top and some grated cheese. Sometimes I make my own by taking some corn tortillas and cutting them into small strips and baking in the oven just until crisped and season them with a bit of salt right when they get out of the oven.

* I also usually make my own chicken broth but you can use the canned stuff. I put about 4 cups of water in a pot and then add spices like chili powder, oregano, poultry seasoning, cumin, parsley, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder and bay leaves. and then I throw in some uncooked chicken breasts and I let that all boil together until the chicken is cooked through then to use it in the recipe take out the chicken and pour the liquid into the pot...

here is a a pic of the soup...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm fish and chips! I've never had "proper" fish and chips since I've been in St. Louis. My mouth is watering!

We had shrimp alfredo on angel hair pasta last night. Salad and garlic bread to accompany.

Tonight it's perch, green beans and rice.

Wow. I haven't had perch since I went to Port Dover. Was starting to think you couldn't get it anywhere else.

Tonight I am meeting my daughter and our friends at the Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar in Toronto. If you'll recall.... the last time we had dinner in Toronto the tab was picked up by the GM, whom my friend, Wendy, knew, and we had a bottle of wine and a cheese tray sent over by another customer. I won't hold my breath that it'll happen again but I can still hope.

not srue what I am making today but i am leaning towards shepherds pie..

[PfcsBaby 0]

We're going to the Golden Corral tonight. An all you can eat buffet. It's my nephews 12th birthday and that boy can eat, so its a good place to take him. I think I'll spend more time with the desserts than anything else.

Last night we had more of the 'great steak' the one in the unidentifiable plastic bag in the freezer, with oven fries and some asparagus. We had kfc snackers for lunch, they were quite good, well at least the crunchy one was, the bbq one was....yes...wait for it....too sweet.

Not sure what's for dinner tonight, did pick up some nice pork chops the other day, maybe that and a salad and mashed potatoes.

[Marilyn. 340]

yeah, I think I am going to make shepherds pie and maybe an apple salad...

[Autumnchik 6]

We're having steaks on the grill, salad and sauteed mushrooms. And I'm going to suggest (read .... tell everyone we MUST do this) that we go to a little ice cream bar down the road for dessert.

[Cassie 8]

we're having homemade pizza that our friend brought while I was laid up at home after day surgery. Amazing what you find when you are rummaging in the freezer!

[trailmix 77]

Well the pork chops and potatoes are cooking. Decided to do steak fries, just put garlic, parsley and green onions on them, they do smell good! Salad is on the plate, hope this all cooks quickly, i'm hungry!

Oh and we are having English cucumber in the salad, the cucumber is from Ontario - krikit, let the Ontario folks know that their cucumbers taste great!

cold roast chicken, potato salad, caesar salad, pinto beans (one of Joe's favourites) and asparagus (one of my favourites!). An easy dinner after spending the day running errands and working in the garden. Have almost everything planted now except for some marigolds and one last patio tomato plant - and I might pick up another jalopeno pepper plant for Joe:-).

mmm, I just love Shepherd's pie...
