Sunday I pulled a chunk of beef roast from the freezer. My wife started a loaf of bread. Monday afternoon she baked and I simmered. We ended up with rustic bread and beef barley soup.

Ok-- that looks really, really good.

All looks good! Usually score and marinate whole red snapper in mojo criollo (citrus based from the Mexican market) stuff with Cilantro & Lime, then grill whole. Serve will some Cuban Black Beans & Rice, fried Plantain(darker ones are better) and some Salsa. Whole fish taste better than fillets.

And...I do a semi-fry kinda thing with fish; as a matter of fact did this tonight with some swai filets:

Preheat oven to 450. Dry the filets off then give the top side a spray of cooking oil. Sprinkle on some lemon pepper, salt and bread crumbs. I used the Progresso ones, but you can bake a loaf of French bread and grind it in your food processor if you'd like to spend two days making this.  Heat a little oil in an oven proof non-stick skillet on medium high, then toss in the fillets seasoned side down. Spray the top side and apply the same stuff. Give them a couple minutes to start to brown, then turn them over and put into the oven to finish. 

I did this because I used up the last of the mojo criollo last night on some fish sticks I made. 😄😄

Found a nice looking t-bone and shared it. On the Weber with some wood chips for smoke, with a good old baked tater and some peaches and cream corn on the cob. Had it with a Chambourcin someone picked up last weekend on a trip to StL. Pretty good stuff. Sugar Creek Winery.

To clean: One each skillet, knife, cutting board, garlic press, cheese grater, spoon, plate and fork. < 10 minutes.

Seared a nice strip steak to share with the wife. Pulled it after 2 minutes per side. I was happy but the wife wanted another few seconds. Used some more fresh peas to build a peas and corn salad. Loving summer in the Ozarks.
