I just wanna say that I have been on vacation and it has been MURDER WW-wise, but I think I am doing well. I have been exercising and eating as well as possible given Texas meals and mucho grande temptation along the highways! It's gonna be all good. I just know it. dammit.

What's on my menu this weekend, cookie? I'm in the mood for fish.

Good luck, Jerby! Last I saw you, you looked well enough to weather a temporary Texas setback. You just need some...exercise...while you're down there!

After months and months of half-heartedly starting the dieting and stopping again, I'm now down 7 pounds which is great.

Hmmm... Let's see...

sea bass fillet nestled on a bed of baby carrots and string beans, and sliced ginger root and lemon slices. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and some thyme. Two tablespoons of white wine. Cover loosely in a foil packet and steam for 10 minutes. Remove ginger and lemon. Serve fillet with resulting jus spooned on top, with the veggies as sides, and a serving of brown rice.

Bon apetite.

"...and mucho grande temptation along the highways!"

That sounds divine, cookie!

Can I use rice wine? It's all I have in my apartment right now, besides cooking sherry.

Of course you can, Calvin! That will give the dish a slightly sweeter flavour.

I did a fabulous sesame encrusted salmon and mixed grilled veggies last night on the grill. Yummy!

What's a grill, SOMMS? I don't know what that is. I live in NYC.

[Calvin]

This guy can help!

It works just as well under the broiler Singer. Do they have those in NYC?

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:03am

Ah, the beauties of grilling in the summer, SOMMSy... That does sound quite delish! Did you use any kind of sauce or marinade for the salmon?

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:06am

I did a marinade of sesame oil, lime juice and a hint of ginger. Then I drenched the filets in the sesame seeds.

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:08am

Just kidding, Somms. And, yep, I do have a broiler. I haven't broiled a fish in forever, though, and it doesn't help to date a vegetarian.

Sidenote: that's always the best thing about telling anyone you're a vegetarian (say, at a restaurant). They always respond with, "do you eat fish?"
I've never understood the connection to a fish being a plant.

nothing with a face or a mother!

those who don't eat fish are officially called pescetarians

[Calvin]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:16am

It is odd, bway, but it's an understandable question, I guess. A coworker of mine considers herself a vegetarian but eats fish every once in a while. Her vegetarianism is not for any moral reasons -- she just does not like the taste of meat.

Have you tried the same technique with tuna steaks, SOMMS-y? Sounds like it would work just as well!

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:22am

Indeed I have Cookie!

[Calvin]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:23am

I'm dying for a great swordfish steak now. I haven't had one in ages.

[RobbO]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:24am

bleech. the only kind of fish i eat is swedish.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:27am

did I really stumble in here during a discussion about eating fish or eating meat? Really?

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:27am

Somms, I think you meant those who ONLY eat fish of all meat are called pescetarians.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 7/27/06 at 11:30am

thanks, that is what I meant.
