Alright if you want to show healthy, I just made up a fresh batch of cukes and onions.  Mix of apple cider vinegar and white vinegar, a splash of red apple balsamic vinegar, a little sugar, salt and a couple fresh bruised sprigs of dill.  My son is already worried about it for tomorrow's supper.  Since he is off work tomorrow I worry about whether or not I will get any for supper.  Only gets better when the maters come on and I can chunk up some vine ripe ones in it.

I do something similar, no dill, add black olives, tomatoes, Feta cheese, Greek Vinaigrette dressing, and now you have a "Greek salad".  A good way to use up some of those garden cucumbers.

Curried Fish Stew

Ingredients

2 pounds firm white fish fillets (walleye, crappie, bluegill, halibut, cod, and if desperate tilapia) cut into 1 inch pieces

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, smashed

4 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger

1  can unsweetened coconut milk

1 to 2 Tablespoons curry powder (gold or madras, I recommend one of the Penzy's)

1 onion chopped

1 tomato seeded and chopped

2 to 4 jalapeno or serrano peppers, seeds and pith removed, minced

1/2 cup water

sriracha to taste

salt and pepper

neutral cooking oil

Method

1. In a glass or stainless bowl cover the fish with the lemon juice a a teaspoon of salt and allow it to sit for 10 to 30 minutes.

2. In a blender or food processor, puree the garlic, ginger, coconut milk, curry, sriracha, and a large pinch of salt.

3. In a large saute pan or sauce pan, heat about 3 Tablespoons of oil to the shimmer stage. Add the onions and jalapeno and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato and continue cooking until it softens, maybe five minutes more.

4. Add the coconut mixture and the water. Bring it to a simmer slowly, stirring often.

5. Add the fish and 1 Tablespoon of the marinade. Cook only until the fish is just done, maybe 2 minutes or 3?

6. Serve the stew to a deep bowl and add a cup of cooked rice in the middle. Garnish with chiffonade of fresh basil.

Company coming tonight. I have tabouli made and fishburgers chilling to firm up. I have fresh nectarine salsa made for garnish on the burgers. I have written about all these before.

I also have a pork shoulder marinating in salty maple water. Early tomorrow it goes on the smoke. During the day I will make a sauce and a horseradish cole slaw. The guests will never want to leave.

   Today's feast was Hoisin Chicken with Grilled onions,

http://chiwulff.com/2011/09/02/chi-wulff’s-friday-feast-2-september-hoisin-chicken-with-grilled-onions/

  Great stuff. The only deviation was the protein in the dish was wild turkey instead of chicken. The turkey was cut up and grilled in the Holy Wok as was the sliced onions and peppers. The side was fried rice and a ginger beer to wash it all down,

I managed to get this all into my gullet. Mrs. BilletHead had two of three bites left. I shamed her and told her she should clean her plate.

Buuuuurp,

BilletHead

   Breakfast?

So out of the norm for breakfast? Tomatoes are really coming on or should I say off the vines?

    So it was a big BLT on toast for breakfast. Hit the spot,

BilletHead is on a happy bacon overload.

That looks super good. Did you have trouble butchering that hog you had in your raised garden?

[BilletHead]

    Lost the hog in the jungle undergrowth. Thought I might of seen his beady little eye in there while picking maters . He is a short pig and cannot jump so I doubt he cold get to the top of the gargantuan plants eating the ripening fruit.

Dayum. So jealous on the maters. Nothing even close. BLT for breakfast is a great idea.
