It what I like to call my “wake up, Rosa, you’re 39 not 19” diet. I love crudités, this time with a splash of lemon and fresh ground pepper, sometimes with hummus or guacamole or a soft cheese spread (not so much cheese spread in this diet, though 
)

Just came across a local sustainable fish company. You can buy mixed boxes and it’s rainbow trout, pickerel, arctic char and barramundi. I’ve not had the last two types. If I order, I might be seeking input for cooking

It’s delicious, I used to eat that a lot as a kid. 
Every vacation my father would take us somewhere so he could go fishing.

Y’all are making me envious! I adore seafood and yet live so inland it’s not easy to come by. We are famous for Mississippi catfish, though. It gets a bad rep, being a bottom feeder and all, but I really love it. It tastes like the earth. Easy to overcook, though. We also get local lake and stream fish, trout in particular is my favorite.

I sure miss my maritime Atlantic lobster, scallops, clams & mussels. Can get them here but very costly and not as fresh (often frozen too). Can’t wait to go back for a feed!

That is one experience I will have to seek out at some point! I love how you call it a “feed!”

I think I’ll give it a go. Hopefully they do a good job at deboning their fish. I am weird about finding bones in fish when I eat it 
Childhood flashbacks 
But definitely wanting more fish in my diet

“Italian” meatballs and my new gluten-free guilty pleasure, bean pasta. It actually tastes like real pasta. Which the other gluten-free options fail to do. The texture that’s almost always al dente stays even when it’s cold and it doesn’t turn to corn flour mash when you boil it. It’s awesome.

Artic char is like a meaty salmon. Cook it the same way you would a salmon. Hillstone Restaurant often uses Artic Char when they can’t get salmon. Probably when salmon prices are too high. I’d personally pan fry it. Excuse me, sauté it. 4-6 minutes on the skin side and flip it for 2 minutes. I’ve mentioned before but it’s the only way I cook fish even if it smells the house. I just light a yankee candle.

Well done, those pancakes look really good! Yummy!
Pancake day, when it’s any day, is lettupäivä. Laskiaistiistai is one specific day in a year. But anyway, you got it right 
I hope you like them!

Thank you.
Nice and thin. I don’t think I’ll ever make the other kind again. These are so easy. I want to work some chocolate and whipped cream in them 
but that would be more of a desert.
I’m going to try that guy’s (what’s his name? Cooking with Glen?) teriyaki beef stir fry. It looks great. Thanks for turning him on to me so long ago.

Glad that you like them. They are really easy!!!

Local steak and grilled veggies for my 180 days sober tonight! It was my husband’s first time grilling sober. We are experimenting with NA beverages, and a NA IPA did the trick for him. So grateful right now!

It was pretty tasty. Hubby thought it was “meh” but he’s more of a boxed mac & cheese with ketchup guy lol
I think it will be better with my fresh in-season garden tomatoes & basil so I’ll try it this summer. I also only had light feta as store was out if regular. And I didn’t have fresh garlic (gasp) so I used minced. I did add crumbled bacon too 
I think adding shrimp/prawns would be tasty. Maybe goat’s cheese. Lots of ways to tweak it I think; different add-ins, cheeses etc.

I’m definitely trying it this summer with my garden tomatoes, too!

Still tasty. I blame my wife. Her steak was to small to butterfly so my timing was off. When I can butterfly her steak and make it thinner I can cook my thick one the same amount of time for my rare. Chef error. But like I said still tasty
