Over the course of the next 10 years or so, I’ll be converting the older recipes to the new format.
I’ll be doing my favorites first.
I have always loved scallops, but they are a rare treat for us as they are expensive.
It’s also one of the few fish / seafood that I buy frozen. I don’t often see … Continue reading.....
We all know mon mari‘s opinion of fish for dinner.
Or should we say his professed opinion.
Maybe it’s because I insist on having it every Friday and he’s just acquiesced, or maybe he’s actually starting to like fish.
BTW – we don’t eat it on Friday for any latent religious reasons. That’s the day I do the shopping … Continue reading.....
Barbecued Salmon?
Why not?
The hoisin sauce, sherry and soy sauce make a nice counterpoint to the salmon’s richness.
If you don’t have hoisin sauce you can use another purchased barbecue sauce, or regular ketchup. If using ketchup I would add a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
We grill a lot of salmon in the summer and I try to vary … Continue reading.....

I like fresh fish.
I also like to find ways to use the abundance of cherry tomatoes a single plant will produce.
This year I planted a variety called Black … Continue reading.....
Mon mari hardly ever complains about ‘Fish Hell Day’ when he gets to cook it on the grill.
And especially not when it’s salmon.
We eat a lot of salmon.
It does get to be a challenge to find new ways to fix it. Some are more successful than others.
This is one of the better ones…. I’m really starting … Continue reading.....
Time flies…..
It seems like I just did the Secret Recipe Club and yet here it is again….
Okay, not quite. This isn’t the regular monthly event but a special recipe collection to kick-start summer featuring Picnic and Barbecue Foods.
As you all know we cook everything (almost) on the barbecue in summer so this is a great way to … Continue reading.....
