Endless Ends

[Endless_Night]

my middle kiddo will eat veggies from a can but he won’t eat mine — home made, fresh cooked, hot. sheer insanity to me.

Ah, children. We have a child in the family who will not eat fruit. In any format. Strange little creature.

living in FL i grew up on seafood, latin food and caribbean food. my mother cooked ethnic food like stir fry and indian curries and it was just normal to me.

That sounds delicious!

but green curry sometimes scratches the itch just right, yanno?

Make that a nice Panang curry and I'm on board. Tumeric. Nom.

It's not that meat and potatoes are bad. Just limited, and so heavy. I find I like a wider spice profile, and foods that sit a little lighter on the digestion.

I regret not having more experience cooking seafood. Fried is the only way we ever had it, and even now I'm not sure what to do with the stuff as far as a more delicate cooking process.

There's a good fish market in Houston. I should try to expand my repertoire. I'm just so . . . trepidatious for some reason when it comes to creating edible fish.

The wild animals on the farm will eat if it's it terrible, right?

Pretty much any white fish (haddock, cod, monk, etc) you turn the oven on 400, lightly oil a baking dish, lay the filets down, olive oil, salt, lemon. 8-12 minutes depending on thickness.

You can vary any spices on if you want.

Cream sauce in a saucepan while the filets are baking if you want some extra flavor and fat.

Hmmm. I honestly don't know why I find fish so intimidating. I have cooked goose on more than one occasion, and let me tell you, that is a production.

I really have nothing intelligent to add to these food conversations, but can anyone explain to me why fish isn’t considered meat?

What? Fish not meat? Is this a religious thing?

Lots of fat, right?

 

[hotwords229_A]

I believe so. But it’s carried over into everyday life for everyone.

 

[Endless_Night]

Lots of fat, right?

Absolutely. You have to parboil and render the fat a couple of days in advance of cooking. Of course, you then have goose fat (aka liquid gold) for nearly a year, but the whole process is something of an event.

Huh. I am unfamiliar with this as a general practice. My area is far more protestant than catholic, which may make a difference.

 

[Endless_Night]

Also *squeal* I wanted that!

My plan for today is to do absolutely nothing, so there may be random commentary on birthday month stuff.

Oh, and I'm going to watch Island of Terror (1966) again, because I need vacuum like, bone eating monsters in my adult life.

Why is it such a delight to find movies you haven't seen since childhood.

 

[Endless_Night]

This is my adopted persona for the new year.

“vacuum like”? “bone eating”?
I feel seen.

Good choices for the '26 persona . . . including the snubnose !

 

[Wand3rlust]

I want an adopted persona.

It even has Peter Cushing!

I'm only lacking the headpiece.

Well, and the coat. I need that coat.

Ooooh! Let's do it! Who or what attracts you? I've sure we can find a match.

 

[Endless_Night]

It's going to be 27 degrees in the morning!

 

[investor2020]

It has more to do with the development of the English language and religion than anything about what protein you consume.

Absolutely. You have to parboil and render the fat a couple of days in advance of cooking. Of course, you then have goose fat (aka liquid gold) for nearly a year, but the whole process is something of an event.

I’ve only ever cooked wild geese and those aren’t very fatty, so no idea.

Good call on the alternative persona. She’s saucy.

If one must have snow, one should be creative.

(That is completely adorable!)

It's cold enough that I'm actually wandering around in a robe on top of my flannel pajamas. For all I complain about the sun and heat in August, I am cold averse.

I was reading somewhere that the nutrient profiles of fish and meat differ, with fish having all those lovely omega-3s. Plus, it's protein from cold-blooded aquatic creatures rather than warm-blooded land.

The USDA considers it meat. Religious and social groups don't always agree.

I've cooked one of those once. It was not nearly as good. Stringy and far too chewy.

Phryne Fischer. Nineteen-twenties Australian detective extraordinaire.

She is very saucy.

Yeah, I’ve seen both series.

Wait.

There's been more than one series?! Who's play Phryne beside Essie Davis?

There’s Miss Fischer young and there’s Miss Fischer older. I don’t remember which came out first, but they are the related.

Oh, Miss Fischer's Modern Murder Mysteries!

Phryne's niece. Peregrine.

Those are good, too, if not as lavish in production.
