Here FISHY FISHY!!
On the other night’s menu –HALIBUT STEAK
Sir Eric requested RICE PILAF– I love that TJs pretty much has at least ONE of EVERYTHING!!

The box had 6 servings in it — So I decided to HALVE IT before I made it — So I wouldn’t waste or eat a ton of it!!

I amended the directions — If I didn’t I KNOW I would forget that I was only supposed to use 1/2 of what it said!!

The STAR SPICES in our house

All of the STAR SPICES + Extra Virgin Olive Oil [EVOO] went on homemade breadcrumbs

NO I did NOT drink WINE out of a BOWL..

I MARINATED halibut bites in 1/2 white wine + 1/2 water for 30 minutes

Instead I drank this LITTLE GEM from TJs
- $4.99
- dry + delicious
- similar to a marlborough sav blanc –
- only not as fruit forward
- TOTALLY AMAZING BARGAIN

The fish got sauced after it went on a WHITE WINE BOOZE BINGE
- 2 T EVOO
- 1 T Lemon Juice
- 1 T Butter spread [I used earth balance]
- 2 T parmesan cheese
- STAR SPICES to taste
- Then breaded in the lovely homemade breadcrumbs — I used TJs focaccia bread
- Then baked at 400* for 12 to 15 minutes

The veggie of the day was ROASTED BROCCOLI + BRUSSELS!!
- toss in EVOO
- toss in balsamic
- add a little salt + pepper
- bake for 20 min at 400* turning once
The brussels need to cook a little longer than the broccoli — watch out!!

Who wants to come over for dinner???

FYI–
THIS IS DELICIOUS.
SO CHEESY.
I WANT TO EAT IT ALL OF THE TIME.

For your viewing pleasure —- the MAD MONSTER + ME before a lovely leisurely 5.2 mile walk from my new neighborhood to my old neighborhood + back….
