I’d be interested in what you do with scallops. I found this recipe from Jean-Georges Vongerichten many years ago, and it became a favorite; it’s pretty work-intensive, but unusual and wonderful:

I agree. I love fish and seafood. It doesn’t really seem penitential for me to eat it.

Usually we have soup and salad or tuna melts. However my husband found some stuffed flounder in the freezer earlier this week and he wanted that today, so we had it with baked sweet potatoes and salads. I bought the stuffed flounder at Trader Joe’s and it was quite tasty.

Speaking of sea food the Dungeness Crab season opened 10 days ago here on Humboldt Bay…

Northern California looks beautiful; and a great place for bird-watching. But do you get much sunshine there?

It has gotten much better in the 64 years I have lived here. I moved here in 1954 to escape the oppressive heat of Fresno County and never regretted it...

yup i’ve made that one many times. it does turn out good, crispy with nice holes.

but this time i wanted a big soft french loaf, like the kind you can make soft chewy sandwiches out of. i think high hydration and not over-proofing to get a nice oven spring got me what i wanted.

Tonight we went out to eat to celebrate a birthday. At this Japanese restaurant I can only order one thing, the miso cod. This recipe sounds like it. Simple and delicious. How could anyone eat anything else? It’s just too good. It tastes like I am required to eat it. Maybe by Gd, who knows?? So buttery (without butter), sweet, and filling.

Love a good fish taco. So much better when the fish is NOT breaded.

Congrats. I believe it is difficult to achieve that bread consistency.

My dad used to get liverwurst from a local German deli.

Aw. Your flag is at half mast. Is it for the FL victims?

“I thought I was the only one who liked liverwurst!!!!”

at least three of us around the table! A nice chunk of liverwurst on pump smeared to suit with creamy horseradish sauce, mayo or Dijon, Swiss cheese and a slice of red onion. Comfort food sure to readjust an attitude.
Simple fish meal tonight though; “Tallarines con Atún”. Saute 2-3 cloves of garlic in olive oil, add red pepper flakes to suit and a handful of chopped parsley.
Saute the lot for 3-4 minutes.
Add a 6-8 oz. jar or can of good tuna in olive oil. Stir to break up the tuna but don’t make a mash of it. At this point, some folks add a diced Roma tomato and purple Alfonso or Kalamata olives to suit.
Add 2-3 servings of cooked spaghetti and toss to combine.
Serve straight away with a simple salad and warm bread.
Good eats can be simple, quick and inexpensive.

“I guess nothing but bread and water for 40 days would be too much of a sacrifice for people today.”

A few bowls of Stone Soup would broaden their gastronomic horizons to where bread would be viewed as pastry. Then there’s ‘taters & ‘maters.

I put this on fish tacos.

(Drain the tomatillos about an hour first. 4 tomatillos will give you a 1/2 cup of liquid!)

It’s delicious. Unfortunately, NYC (Yorkville) is no longer German like it was for so many years. I lived on 73rd St. for about 22 years - a ten block walk to the German section.
