Happy New Years Eve!

Dinner last night

This recipe is my version of a fish dish

we would have at the "Friendly Dolphin"

restaurant in Rocky Point, Mex.

It's pretty simple. The fish steams in

individual foil packets and I just serve them

on the plate, in the packet, so all the juices

stay in there with the fish. Even the kids

love this one.

Friendly Dolphin Style Fish

Use any mild white fish, I used Basa, Halibut

works nice too. Place ea. piece of fish on a

square of foil - use enough so you can fold up

around the fish and allow for some steam.

Sprinkle ea. w/ salt & pepper, a bit of

chopped fresh garlic,

chopped fresh cilantro, chopped fresh jalapeno,

a bit of Monterrey jack cheese, and a splash of

white wine (maybe 2 Tbls. per), and a few small

pads of butter (about 1/2 Tbl. per) Fold up into

packets. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at about

385 degrees for approx. 20-30 min. depending on the

thickness of the fish. I served with rice pilaf

and steamed corn.

It's complicated

Went to see "It's Complicated" over the weekend.

It was even better than I had hoped.

Sooo funny, and the set designs are just

incredible. Something beautiful to look at

in every scene. I can't wait to watch it

again, and again...

The house is quiet today....

Darryl took the kids to Mexico this

morning for a quick visit with Grandma Margie.

The house is quiet and I am enjoying a slow

morning. I have a big pot of chicken stock

simmering on the stove and the house

smells good.

We had a great Christmas! Chloe

wrote out the Christmas message on the

chalk board. Didn't notice till much later

that threw was spelt wrong.. oh well,

we all know the story.

Christmas morning magic.
