Yum, whiting. I need another fish fix soon. Do you guys have a fish
called Flathead there? It's one of my favourites. Just curious...

Since I have a ton of cauliflower and broccoli ATM, I plan to make
cauliflower soup and some sort of potato, carrot and broccoli
gratin... with bacon, of course.

Flathead is absolutely delicious. The flesh is quite distinctive in taste and
appearance. Occasionally I get fillets or tails from Victoria Market.

I picked up a nice looking piece of wild caught salmon this morning, so I
will cut it into some thick steaks and use 2 tonight. I like to cook it like
Ina does with the pan searing for a couple of minutes first and then put the
pan into the oven. It always turns out good. Also some sliced cucumber,
tomatoes, and fresh spinach. DH will have french bread with his.

It's only ~4:30 here so dinner is still in the thinking stages. I think I will run out and pick up some salmon also. Quick and easy and good. We don't eat until ~8 so I have time yet.

I may try sf's recipe with the coconut oil. I also have one tomato from the ones that I planted late this year that has ripened (yay, finally) so we will eat that. Greenery to be determined, but we usually eat lots of it, maybe swiss chard, kale, I will see what looks good at the store.

Well, it didn't happen DD came over with her dog and we spent the rest of the afternoon gabbing and playing with the dog so I didn't feel like going to the supermarket. Next time, though!

Instead I pulled out the Chicken Picatta from the freezer that I had made on my fill-the-freezer spree a couple of weeks ago. Made some (real) mashed potatoes, spinach salad with dressing that I made for the 4th. and that lone ripe tomato from my late-to-the-ground planting, also an avocado.

The best laid plans... oh, well. The substitution sounds good to me!

We went to a wake late afternoon and then hubby went for a haircut, so
he stopped by a nearby shopping mall food court to get teriyaki
chicken take out. Ask me about breakfast!

I used the leftover polenta from last night to make a breakfast of
soft boiled egg on fried polenta, swimming in a pool of maple syrup
(yes, I over-poured it accidentally).

Never would have thought of that combination. The egg looks perfect to me.

We call an egg cooked like that a poached egg, which I find can go
with all sorts of things. I made cauliflower soup yesterday and will
have a bowl for breakfast soon - with a poached egg in the middle.
Done that a few times now, I really like it.

My dad never got laid off but he did get his hours cut some. Our usual go to
meal then was pancakes with syrup made of brown sugar, water an Mapeline.
But the one time my dad bought a huge package of ham flavored TVP. That was
the worst stuff ever and we had to eat it at every meal because we had so
much of it. My mom added it to whatever she was cooking to try to stretch
it.

When my dad finally got his hours back, we threw a party to dispose of the
TVP.

After cooking eggs for breakfast every morning, for decades, it gets
old. We have hard cooked eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, huevos
rancheros, shirred eggs, tacos, egg on a roll, chilaquiles.

Sometimes, I will cook breakfast for him and I will have a banana and
toast. As long as he wants eggs, I do not mind cooking them.

It does. But the, that is true of anything else I can think of as
well. As much as I love eggs, I do need a break from them every now
and then.

My rooster died this morning, and I gave away my other Barnevelder
rooster yesterday. Typical... I'll have to find the ladies another
man.

Sorry about the loss of your rooster, I am sure is was awfully sad to
find him that way.

My sister had chickens, but she did not have a rooster, my mother kept
telling her that the chickens would lay more eggs if there was a rooster
around. I have no idea if that is true, I assumed it was a myth.

Too much food. Meatloaf, peas, corn, green beans and mashed potatoes. I
only took a taste of each of the vegetables (except for potatoes) and froze
the rest for when I make my beef pie. It's still more than I can handle.
Am getting sick of this heat.

Did you ever consider investing in an air conditioner? Depending on the
size of your house a centrally located window-unit could possibly cool
most of it down. I absolutely could not sleep without AC. When a
component on my new (2010) HVAC unit broke it took four days to get the
part from the factory. I was miserable. The company that installed the
unit loaned me a portable (stand-alone) AC so I could at least cool down
the bedroom at night.

There is no feasible way to put one in. We have no ducting. We have no
place to put a unit outside. We can't vent out a window nor can we put in a
window unit or put one through a wall.

The past two years were so cold in the summer that we actually had the heat
on. This summer for whatever reason is hotter than usual. We had a hot one
when we moved here 10 years ago and another hot one the year that Angela
went to summer school. But most summers, the hottest temp we get is 70,
save for perhaps a few days here and there. Usually 2 weeks at the most and
not all at once where it gets hotter than that.

Yep. The only house in the world that is apparently impossible to
install airconditioning in - and guess who owns it?

That's why it is so funny.

I have unusual windows. They're verticle and crank open. Not windows
with a regular sash you can just slide up to open the window. The
screens can't easily be removed, from the inside, either. They are
blocked by the security sensors. BUT... they can be removed from the
outside (with proper tools) if necessary. When my central air went out
a few years ago I was able to use a portable AC unit similar to this one:

or tiny URL:

If I can do it it, anyone can. :-D

OK Julie. Even *I* have reached my limit with you here. (And back off,
Ophy...this needs to be said. Don't you dare defend her on this one).

A few weeks ago you were complaining about the heat. Now you are
complaining about it again. You can't even sleep at night as it's so
hot. The fans only blow hot air. You are going shopping often just to
walk around in an air-conditioned store.

Quit making excuses. So what if past years haven't been so hot. It's
hot this summer and it hot now. Your temps will be hot for another 10
days too.

You can just remain miserable for the next 10 days and probably for
the month of August too or you can fix this problem today and be
happy. If the heat and humidity bothers you so much, just go buy a
small window unit and enjoy the rest of your summer. No excuse for
not solving your problem in a fairly inexpensive way. Put it in one
room and at least enjoy one cool room. To cool down the rest of your
house to a comfortable level, put a fan in the room doorway blowing
air into the rest of the house. You could at least have one
comfortable room.

If she was my daughter complaining in this way, I would break my foot
off in her ass. This complaint and all the reasons why she can't do
this is just not sane.

Enjoy your summer hot weather, Julie.

Call a professional and I bet they can offer a few ways to do it. Ducts
can be added, holes made in walls, evap units in attics or ceilings,
just for starters.

I've never seen the AC units in the houses at Colonial Williamsburg, but
they snuck them in for climate control and preservation. Completely
hidden from view as you tour the houses.

There is no way I would do that since most years, AC wouldn't be used at
all. We have no attic. This was a dumpy little Ranch and it was remodeled.
As I said, there is no wall where we could put the AC through. In this
room, most of the exterior wall space is taken up with windows or a sliding
door and what is not has furniture there that can't go anywhere else.

That could be. But if you don't live in this part of the country, I
wouldn't expect you to understand. I own mostly long or 3/4 length tops
because that is what I wear most of the year. Our temps are usually
somewhere between 50-70 although it has been known to get colder in the
winter. And sometimes it gets hotter in the summer. We are having a freak
week now with unseasonably high temps. Just wouldn't make sense to go to
a whole lot of expense and effort to put in AC since most years it would
never get used.

We've been noticing how many vehicles have no AC. A lot of them. That's
one thing I would never do again. My first car didn't have it. Some people
think those that have it are nuts.

Tomato sauce made with my caramelized onions, my own chopped up meat loaf,

I love steamed squash with a little butter and parmesan cheese. Yummy!

I had whiting for lunch the other day, first time ever, and I liked it. The recipe was to flour the filets, flash fry them in oil, and meanwhile combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and parsley. When the fish is done, pour it over the fish and cover it for five minutes. Very good.

Tonight I made coho salmon with a grapefruit- shallot sauce. It was very good, a nice summer dish with a fruit flavored fish and some nice white rice..

Looks good, but I'll need to vary it slightly because hubby takes
medication that prohibits the eating of grapefruit. Thanks for
posting!
