I love fish but it’s something we really don’t eat enough of. In an effort to cook more fish, I tried this recipe I had ripped out of a Racheal Ray magazine a few years ago. I have been advised by the family that I can stop looking for other fish recipes. This is the …
I woke up this morning to find out that I was the victim of a meme! D’oh! Anyway as it happens this little meme was a delight because it took me down memory lane and that’s always a fun trip. So I am taking part in HostelBookers 7 Super Shots because my dear friend Heather …
