Feast of the 4 Fishes

 

Confession time folks.

I am not much of a seafood fan. However my husbands is. This from time to time causes us some conflict upon deciding where to go for dinner.

Now don't get me wrong I don't’ totally hate seafood, but it has just never been one of my favorites.

The Italians have a tradition of having a huge seafood feast on Christmas Eve called the Feast of the 7 Fishes, well since we are not Italian, the closest we could come was the Feast of the 4 Fishes.

My husband indulged his yearly craving for an all out seafood feast by making a stop at the local Korean market that is not to far from our house. They have every know vegetable ever grown upon the earth as well as a very clean, very fresh, very affordable selection of seafood. Some of it is actually still swimming around in very large tanks of water. The have live eel’s and lots of other live things that I will spare you the description of. At least you know they are fresh.

Aside from seafood you can also get some really great beef and pork for way cheaper that I can get at the local grocery store. But I digress.

We have a rib roast ready to be cut up into steaks waiting in my refrigerator, now that’s my kind of feast!

Digressing again!

Well since it doesn't happen vey often and since it seemed like appropriate blog fodder well here it is.

I submit for you entertainment our slightly smaller version of the Italian tradition, and no we did not do it on Christmas Eve either.

The Feast of the 4 Fishes

My favorite… the snow crab legs, but the Lobster and the shrimp were really good also. The scallops…not so much. But hey three out of four that’s pretty good I think, especially since I am not a huge fan of seafood.

But it was worth it to watch my husband enjoy himself.

Happy New Year Y’all

Blessings

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
