What Have You Been Eating/Cooking?
 

I must have lied about not eating deep fried food often because I did it
again yesterday. ;) John and I ate lunch at the recently re-opened
Foolish Frog. This is the restaurant that had the "closed for the
season" sign out front last year... turns out that meant "get ready for
new owners". :)

http://thefoolishfrog.com/

He had a burger on a house-made bun and I had a basket of fried shrimp
with house-made potato chips. Man was it good! The weather was
gorgeous so we ate outside on the deck. This place strives to use only
fresh local ingredients, which I appreciate. It was a very pleasant
lunch. :)

[A side note: Our server was a former Marine who re-enlisted as a
reservist. She was immediately deployed to Kyrgyzstan, which
fortunately isn't in the thick of anything, but with Central Asia you
never know. She said they could only leave the base (R&R) a couple of
times a month. When they did, it was civilian clothing only and they
had to check in every two hours via satellite phone. I thanked her for
her service.]

On the 14th, two nights previous, I made my signature marinated country
ribs (yes, folks, I know they aren't "ribs"). Sides were yellow squash
and green beans. A very nice meal, albiet with leftovers.

On the 15th I lightly pan-fried a pound of catfish fillets coated with
Zatarain's fish fry. I baked some of those frozen (Savannah brand) hush
puppies and we also finished off the leftover green beans.

I still have one catfish fillet from that batch and I'm thinking fish
sandwich for lunch today. While John will cheerfully eat fish if he
doesn't have to cook it but I know he'd prefer to eat the last couple of
country ribs. Fine with me!

So, what have you been eating/cooking?

Two nights ago, I cooked rockfish aka "Rock Cod" and "snapper" that
I'd bought from Costco in a ginormous package, on purpose, because it
turns out that we love Ophelia's fish cakes. So I combined the
leftover flaked fish with the leftover mashed potatoes and made 12
fishcake patties which are happily residing in the freezer for future
meals. Last night's meal was fajitas (flap meat) using the marinade I
learned from an ex-niece in law last weekend. Tonight's meal will be
the extra corned beef I bought last month.

Swedish meatballs simmered in brown gravy, then smothered in sauteed
peppers, onions and topped with American cheese. Served on ciabatta
bread.

I made a cauliflower casserole last Monday. Enough for five or six meals.
(I posted the recipe here a while back). For some reason it was much
tastier than usual. Wish I knew why so I can do it again next time.

Today it was lambs liver with bacon and onions in gravy, mashed potato and
peas
Yesterday was lamb steaks (just to annoy sf <g>) marinated in red wine, mint
and garlic, served with buttered new potatoes and broccoli,
Day before it was beer battered fish, with fries and peas! (all homemade)
I can't remember before that but tomorrow it will be boneless pork loin
steaks ... they are out of the freezer but haven't decided what to do with
them yet . Ideas?

Yesterday we went up to the Tulip Festival in Mount Vernon, about an
hour north of Seattle. Since the SO had camera gear in tow (surprise,
surprise...), we took our time getting to the tulips. We had lunch at
the Edison Café in Edison, population 133. He had a burger with couscous
salad on the side, while I had the aforementioned salad as a main dish
with chicken. The Café is known for its baked goods. I had a piece of
peach melba pie, while he had the cinnamon roll. The pie filling was
mostly raspberries and very tasty. The cinnamon roll was a bit too sweet
for both of us, and was inundated by frosting.

After a hard afternoon of walking in Deception Pass State Park and
overworking our shutter fingers at Roozengaarde, we had dinner at the
Thai House in downtown Mount Vernon. The barbecue pork and salmon in
green curry sauce were quite good. Today's lunch will be Thai House
leftovers.

Is it that time again? I seem to always miss it. Only went once since we
moved back. We always have lunch in La Conner.

The other night daughter and I made a chicken curry dish.

Chicken breasts cut to bite size, red onions, green pepper and a little
concentrated chicken broth. Once cooked, we added a 12oz jar of Trader Joe's
"Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce." Served it over brown rice. It was pretty
good.

The next day, I spooned rice and the chicken curry on some 6" flour
tortillas, rolled them up and ate them cold. Those were very good too.

My mother put my brother's name on the property deed and it passed to

I should have been clearer in my reply. There are many implications in
having a second name on a deed.

My point is that you can't tell what they are just because there is a
second name on a deed. (EX... you can't assume the relationship between
the people, why the arrangement was made, how each benefits, etc)

He also inherited her cost basis, which will be costly if he wants
to sell.

My friend is having trouble refinancing now because her mom's name is on
there. And her mom died several years ago. Apparently her death
certificate is no longer good enough.

He'll have to deal with capital gains no matter what, so a few more
dollars won't make a huge difference when push comes to shove.

I'd guess they're trying to emulate it. http://www.keukenhof.nl/

That doesn't make sense. Your friend should have gone to the registrar
of deeds and had her mom's name removed. All it takes is a death
certificate, truly. IF the estate went through probate it should have
been taken care of at that time, especially if there was an attorney
involved.

The Skagit River valley (in Washington state) is one of the largest
tulip growing areas in the world. It was settled by immigrants from the
Netherlands, who brought their flower growing skills.

I have been to the Netherlands to visit Dutch relatives, and I know
about Keukenhof, but I have not yet managed to get there.

That is not as you think. I worked for a company where the father
died. the son inherited the business. It was doing OK, but not making
a fortune. The inheritance tax put him out of business and put 25 of
us out of work. IRS does not want installment payments, they want
cash NOW. There was not enough cash. Business sold and then closed.

Was the son a partner in the business? If so, would that have made a
difference?

The son owned a portion, but I'm not sure of how big a portion. There
wee two business involved, both sold to different people and then
consolidated with the new owner's existing business and or location
was closed.

I guess I was fortunate because the new owner made me an offer and I
took it, but had to relocate 250 miles away. Eight years later they
were sold and then sold again. I left at that point.

Such a shame for the son, although if there were other partners I suppose it
all changes.

Don't encourage him. The next batch of exaggerations and half-truths will be
even thicker and stickier.

??? Are you referring to Ed??? Nothing wrong with Ed and I respect him and
his views.

The anecdote he just spouted is farfetched to the point of ridiculosity.

I could tell you in great detail about the excellent mini-vacation in
Chicago that Mrs. Beitel and I took last week to burn off some free
air miles before they expired, complete with restaurants, meals,
things we saw and did, etc., but I'll just mention that, as an ex-pat,
I got my fix:

Thanks. I guess. I keep telling people I don't like to cook, I like to
eat. They don't believe me. I am starting to twitch‹in 14 hours we
begin a major kitchen remodeling project and I will be without a kitchen
for the better part of two months. I have baked my last in my current
oven. And I may well have cooked my last on it at lunch -- musgovian
hash browns (from a refrigerated package) and a coupla eggs for me.

I will have a grill, a microwave, an induction burner, and maybe a
toaster oven (I haven't told Rob about that). I will also have the
charity of friends. :-) I've a couple chips to call in.

I am trying to keep breathing and keep my eyes on the prize. I can
think of lots of things I should have done -- like make and freeze a
crapload of meals that could be heated one way or another. I didn't.
What I am thinking about doing in the next half hour, though, is hitting
the deli for cold cuts so I can make at least a couple days worth of
sandwiches.

My best and cleverest idea, I think, is to go to Costco and graze at
lunch time. :-)

Light a candle. Maybe a bonfire.
