A garage sale is a marvelous thing. I’ve hosted a few, but they don’t seem to work out so well for me. The last one I nearly broke even, but some of the earlier attempts were disastrous. I also learned that in-laws are nice to have around for the holidays, but don’t let them organize […]

Yeah, let’s have one more, just for the halibut. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
Speaking of halibut, today’s dish could use that tasty white-fleshed fish. Flounder, turbot, fluke, trout; even striped bass or cod will work in this recipe as well. We’ll want fillet thickness, not steaks, which may not cook all the way through. A piece of […]

Nashville, Tennessee isn’t known as a center for fine cuisine; no, music tops the list. However, there are sure some fine places to eat there. One is Arnold’s Country Kitchen, which serves Southern fare in a no-nonsense, casual (some say “almost a dive”) atmosphere, right downtown. […]

It’s been a while since Fish 4 Friday graced these pages. With Lent just around the corner, though, time to get back into practice!
Trout, whether from fresh waters or the sea, makes might fine eating if prepared well. As with most fish, quick cooking is a […]
