McTag: We Americans, except for us lucky ones in New York, do not engage ourselves with enough smoked fish. At my local deli, I can buy a whole smoked whitefish and a bit of sour cream and have a feast. I don't do that often enough.

Joe(so how's by you?)Nation

I'm from Boston. I love fish.
My grandmother came from Newfoundland. I love smoked fish.
In custard (sweet or otherwise)? Never tried it.
But I trust your judgement.

Joe(always good to read)Nation, we are tolerable today.
Actually, today was a nice day, we spent the afternoon (and some shekels) in the city, and finished with a pizza and glass of wine at an Italian we like.



George, I'm compelled to offer this simple recipe:

Preheat small oven to 180 or 200 deg C
Wash your smoked fish
cut into large chunks
poach in just enough milk to cover, simmering for 5 minutes
Remove fish pieces from pan, and take the skin off the fish
beat four eggs, pour into your baking dish
Strain the milk used for the fish, mix with the beaten eggs in the baking dish or casserole
add salt and pepper, spoonful of butter
add the pieces of fish
place casserole dish in preheated oven, no lid
done in about 40 minutes or less
(it's done when your "custard" is set)

I didn't get that from a book, I made it up myself, so feel free to add own improvements if desired. With two goodish fillets of fish and four eggs, it'll feed four with veg and potato accompaniments.

arrgh. I cannot eat salted popcorn.
B: Fruit, coffee, swiss omelet, English Muffin
L: Movie popcorn
D: Chicken and shrimp, veggies, a glass of wine.

Came across this recipe. Made it. Good snack. Chopping apricots and raisins was fun. They stick to the knife,..then stuck together when mixing. Next time perhaps carob in the mix.

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon flaxseeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 cup unsweetened whole grain puffed cereal
1/3 cup currants
1/3 cup chopped apricots
1/3 cup chopped golden raisins
1/4 cup creamy almond butter
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

1) Preheat oven to three fifty. Coat an eight inch square pan with cooking spray.
2) Spread oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, flax and sesame seeds on a baking sheet. Bake until oats are lightly toasted, Shaking sheet half way through. About ten minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add cereal, currants, apricots, and raisins, toss to combine.
3)Combine almond butter, sugar, honey, vanilla and salt in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium low, stirring frequently, until the mixture bubbles lightly, about two to four minutes.
4)Immediately pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix with spoon, until no dry spots remain. Transfer to prepared pan. Lightly coat hand with cooking spray and press the mixture down firmly to make an even layer. When mixture cools, refrigerate thirty minutes. Cut into eight bars.

My Chechens are, I think, fine.

My abs are another story.

You read it here first (I should put this on late breaking news stories I think): I was out because I had surgery last Friday. To deal with the consequences of losing 165 lbs. in 2 years. Stitches come out tomorrow. I have been eating whatever I can, whatever I fancy as I have not been fancying much. Doctor removed 6 lbs. of flesh from abs and, er, the chestical region. Hence it's 6 times what was promised as collateral in The Merchant of Venice. I have no idea what I've been eating; my folks have been here, and cooking. It's been an adventure, dunno when I will be back at regular reporting.

My abs hurt, but considerably less than they did a few days ago. Good to see everyone again.
