It’s hard to believe we’re in Utica with the forecast predicting so many days of sun.  I don’t know how the folks around here are going to deal with it?  All that vitamin D, all that happiness, it’s going to ruin our upstate reputation!

Recipe time… Eat Fish. Feel Good (not grumpy).

Let’s face it, when you eat a lot of fish like Ted and I do, the quick way to prepare it gets old. Guess that’s the way it is with any food you eat on a regular basis.  Even though you enjoy it, you eventually want something different. 

I went onto Pure Food Fish Market’s website, this is a site I order a lot of fish from with OUTSTANDING success in quality, taste, delivery…you name it.  I looked for a recipe and found some delicious looking ideas.

Naturally, the recipe I chose, I tweaked and the outcome was really, really good.  Even though the following ingredients and instructions look long and tedious, it’s an easy preparation.  This was a week night meal, made from start to finish in 1 hour.  It won’t disappoint.
