how about a "smoked eel" or any other smoked fish ?
smoked herring is very tasty !

@hamburger,
I had smoked lake trout with cream cheese for lunch today. Beats cafeteria food any old time.

@hamburger,
Well, I'll give it some thought but I think I probably still wouldn't try that eel unless I didn't know what it was. I do love smoked salmon.

Back to our culinary adventurer here, we went through a very brief period in which he was temporarily retired (on purpose) and wanted to give it a whirl as a house husband since I was still working 10-14 hr days. That meant learning to cook a lot of stuff that he had never tried before. We had a crash course in sauces, spices, and seasonings after the night he couldn't find the soy sauce so he sauteed the mushrooms in the worchestershire sauce. (Hint: we don't recommend that.)

Today we went out for lunch socially with a church group--had a great Mexican food buffet with chicken enchiladas, chili relleno, posole, and green chili stew.

Tonight it will probably be a quickie veggie pizza.

@Foxfyre,
I have a weird flu-ey thing going on, so it's some already made chicken soup. That has sauteed onion/celery/carrots, then chicken broth, garbanzo and regular green beans, a can of muir glen tomatoes cut up and added with the tomato sauce, a bunch of water, a old dried up piece of parmigiano (uncuttable, but un-throwawayable) in there during the long simmer time, and some mini-farfalle pasta. Tonight I'm going to add some diced and spiced sweet red pepper (it's from a tall glass jar by Santa Fe Ole titled 'roasted sweet red pepper'; ingredients = red bell peppers, water, sherry wine, red wine vinegar, onion, garlic, spices).

This should cure me or do me in.


On eel - I like it smoked, delicious. Did not like it raw in sushi some long time ago, though I like a lot of the raw fish used in sashimi and sushi, assuming it's from a tip top sushi bar for freshness and temperature. Don't know if that is possible in our area.
Live eels would probably freak me out, though maybe not if they were in a tank.

Sounds good. I'm making homemade french bread here shortly to serve with spaghetti with meat/fresh mushroom sauce, steamed broccoli & cauliflower, and peaches dredged in peach yogurt.
