more food posting

So here is tonight's dinner... tomorrow night won't be as exciting - likely subway... as I'm back on the road for a few days.


So first the guys helped me pick recipes for the week.. this is Michael helping out :)
We borrowed a Nigella cookbook from the library and tried a couple of recipes.... so for tonight we tried out "Goujons of Sole with Dill Mayonnaise" or fancy fish sticks with yummy sauce... we were going to make potato wedges with chili too but I ran out of time tonight for both... so instead we made something from Kyle's Disney cookbook - simple recipe was some cheese fish crackers, a table spoon of spaghetti sauce and some mozza cheese - toss lightly - then put in microwave for 20-30 seconds and then eat... easy... and they like it :)


Ok - so to make the fish all we did was follow the easy instructions in Nigella's book - that included about 1/2 cup of cornmeal, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.. so as you can see you have three stations - you take the fish through each station to coat it....


Then coated pieces go into a hot frying pan and cook for about 2 minutes (ish) per side... I ended up going a little longer 'cause I'm a freak about cooked fish for the guys...


And here they are all finished and ready for eating and.... if you can believe it - both of the guys liked it - Kyle even ate the dill mayo - which I gotta say is not very nutritious - but it was flavourful (1/2 cup mayo, chopped fresh dill (2 tbsp ish), salt and pepper and a tsp of lime...)
