What's for Dinner, Thurs., Mar. 26, 2015

[NJCher]

Cod in lime-butter sauce.

Also, I wish I could recall who posted the recipe for curried cabbage. I made it and it's absolutely de-lish. Wanted to say "thank you!"

1. also

Meant to mention that I read Japple's comment about organizing magazine clip recipes and thought that I could stand to organize my computer print-out recipes, so I did that. Took me 90" and I'm only half done.

However, such a project can lead to culinary self-discovery, LOL.

I discovered I have an obsession, just based on the number of printed out recipes I have for this particular dish:

Apple-Butternut Squash Soup

There must have been nine versions.

I told the RG and he asked me if they were all the same or different. There are a few differences, but not many. I guess I just get a kick out of doing the same thing, over and over again.

3. Heh! I have 6 recipes for lamb vindaloo

I made them all, and still I look for new ones. "There's something missing, I'll know what it is when I taste that 15th recipe!!"

2. Liver and onions

It's been a while, so I gave myself permission. Not sure if I want to go classic (mashed spuds and gravy) or NE style (fries w/ketchup) yet. I'll decide after beer #2 when I get home. As for the veggies, probably a salad of some kind.

4. It is always best

to decide things after Beer #2.

Yes, I have noted your obsession with lamb vindaloo. You thought it was a secret? Not.

Today is my day off, so I've decided to add this to tonight's menu: green bean casserole, only made the Martha Stewart way. No can of soup allowed her way.

It's gray and gloomy here in the northeast, so comfort food is in order.

5. Didn't see the curried cabbage

but there's one under Jamaican recipes, onion, curry, cabbage and tomatoes, I think I'll try.

6. OK, this could be a disaster, but I'm going to cook fish.

DH loves fish and would eat it everyday. Other than sushi, I'm not a fish fan. Plus it stinks up my pans and kitchen.

But, I've decided to learn how to cook it. I am surrounded by a bounty of caught today fish and it seems a shame.

I don't know what I bought. The guy at the fish counter said something and the label he put on after weighing said "filete de pescado". It looks like a thin filet and is white.

I'm going with the meuniere. Its fast and relatively simple, right? Lightly flour, cook in oil/butter, remove, make brown butter, add lemon. Voila! Right? This is just like your cod, right?

8. Unless I totally miss my mark...

which is always a possibility, my guess without Googling is that "filete de pescado" means filet of fish, fish filet.

[cbayer]

10. Yes, that is what it means, but I was not clear on what kind of fish it is.

So nice to see you around hippy wife. It's been too long.

[hippywife]

11. I figured you knew that...

I just thought it odd that a fishmonger would do that unless what he gave you is simply some sort of run of the mill white fish. It seems similar to a butcher slapping a label that simply says "Beef" on a tenderloin or prime rib roast.

Nice to see you, too!

[cbayer]

13. Oh, I'm in Mexico.

He told me what it was, but I didn't know the word.

This happens to me frequently here and I end up with some very odd things.

Live and learn!

[hippywife]

14. Ah, now I see.

I wasn't up to speed on your current location. Now it makes more sense.

7. Sauteed pork chop.

Brussels sprouts.

[hippywife]

9. Wish I was eating at your house tonight.

Sounds yummy.

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. Thanks. It was good.

[japple]

15. Sauteed mixed greens (picked out of the garden today--they were planted last fall)

with garlic and cumin, more roasted white/sweet potato, pinto beans with red pepper/onion.
