tobermory's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cooking frenzy I made the garlic-cilantro-ginger tilapia last night and it was absolutely cracktastic. I could eat it three times a week it was so good. Any who knew that tilapia is so cheap? Not me, that�s who. 1/3 # filets were only $2.00 each � what a bargain! Now that I know that baking fish is so easy and healthy I�m going to have to search out more recipes. My brown rice was not so hot though. In fact, it was disgusting and inedible � like tiny splinters of wood. Steve took one forkful and spat it out and then had to do the Tom Hanks/Big caviar move where he brushed off his tongue to remove the remaining grains. I tried to make it in my rice steamer and used chicken broth instead of water. Did I do something wrong? I am so shitty with the rice steamer � I know people who can make whole one-pot meals in their steamer and I can�t even make a simple batch of brown rice. A pox on �fuzzy logic�. Because something good has happened (losing 5 lbs.) something bad must also happen. My monthly roving hormone pimple is here. This month it decided to appear on the left side of my chin. I�ll have to put some zit-zapper on it tonight to make it recede. I enjoy reading Simka (her diary link is in my Diaryland profile, however it�s password protected. If you ask nicely she may give you the password) � she often writes about the mouthwateringly good meals that she cooks and their yummy wine pairings. Recently she made a meal and was nice enough to post the recipe and then even nicer to agree to let me share it. So now it is with great pleasure that I bring to you: Simka�s Greek Salad & Burger combo. I can�t wait to fire up the grill and try this � I think I�ll have the time on Friday, especially if I make the salad a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Simka claims that if he hadn�t already proposed, this meal just might have brought her now-fiance down to one knee with ring-box in hand. Since I�m already married I�ll settle for �so-good it makes me want to mow the lawn� from Steve. Breakfast: Yogurt, Kix 2:29 p.m. - 2007-06-19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
