OH! OH! OH!!! Cas is making us a REAL FORUM!!! I kid you not! It may be up and running this week! REALLY! Isn’t he awesome? He is!
OK, so, I read about this FABULOUS website in Real Simple magazine. A really perky & energetic woman gives 30 second demonstrations for exercises you can do while vacuuming, at the bathroom sink, mopping, etc. Check it OUT! Squeeze It In.com is the name of the website.
Now, for food, for those of you who like fish, this recipe caught my eye. I haven’t tried this, but it got good reviews. I would make the sauce as written and then just bottle whatever I didn’t use. This is from Eating Well.com
Ginger-Steamed Fish with Troy’s Hana-Style Sauce Serves 6
Fish
- 6 5-ounce portions striped bass, halibut or any flaky white fish
- 6 1/4-inch-thick slices peeled fresh ginger
Sauce
- 1/4 cup minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup chopped garlic
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons grape seed oil, or canola oil
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2-3 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
To prepare fish: Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in a pot large enough to hold a two-tier bamboo steamer. (If you don’t have a steamer, improvise by setting mugs upside down in a large pot and resting a large heatproof plate on top.) Put a heatproof plate in each of the steamer baskets. Place 3 portions of fish on each plate with a slice of fresh ginger on top. Stack the baskets, cover and set over the boiling water. Steam the fish for 7 minutes per inch of thickness.
To prepare sauce: Meanwhile, combine minced ginger, garlic and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Heat grape seed (or canola) oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger mixture and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add sesame oil; allow the mixture to get hot. Add soy sauce (be careful, it will splatter a bit) and cook for 1 minute more.
Transfer the fish to a deep platter. Discard the ginger slices. Pour the sauce over the fish and garnish with scallions.
If you cook this, please share (I shall do the same).
