something fishy

For dinner, that is. I thought I would branch out and try to cook a fish other than salmon for a change. Walking to the supermarket, I decided that I would like to eat fish ムニエル(google report = "meunier", basically fish coated in flour and fried in butter)

Since I know nothing about fish, I thought I would just look for the cuts that had "cook meunier style" written on them, but there was none on the shelf, so I asked the lady stacking the fish shelf which fish I should use. She pointed out the salmon fillets, the shark fillets, the scallops, and something else. So tonight, shark fillets it is!! (although she did say that the shark doesnt have much fat on it, so it would be nice(r) done karaage style...oh well.) But I often eat flake for fish and chips at home, so figured we couldnt go too wrong. Also just found a nice looking recipe for flake with a vege sauce, but tonight I am sticking with my ムニエル style.

Was going to serve it with just a salad, but thought that might mean the break out of an international war (or at least the serving of divorce papers) so tonight's menu will be:

* Flake fillets meunier style
* side salad
* brown rice (may still see divorce papers, yet, hehe!!)
* wakame soup, K's favourite at the moment
* egg roll
* 冷奴
* ummmm, feel like there should be something else here. Will have to raid fridge/freezer and see what I can come up with.

I think it sounds a summery-enough-menu for the end of what promises to be a hot hot hot day all day.

And since carrots were on special at the shop, I think I am going to make a carrot cake now to satisfy my afternoon sweet cravings.

.....basically follwed this recipe, and the carrot muffins came out just delish! the way we are going, there will be none left for afternoon tea, K and I are chomping into them now!! I cut the sugar heaps tho, so now I am going to go buy some cream cheese to make a frosting for them.
