I had Australian yellowtail fish this week from Misfits, another ingredient I can't get around here. It's a lovely fish, firm and very good.
I poached it in milk to tender and saved the poaching liquid to use as a cream soup base. Then I chunked the fish and mixed it with the last of that tofu broccoli rice dish, heated up. It's very spicy, so the combination was definitely one to go with again. That was a successful experiment. No pictures because it's not very photogenic.
In other learning this week, I found the dodgy hip has bursitis. My bone doctor did an exam, ruled out various other possibilities, which she didn't name, but I could guess at. Amateur doctor here -- not sciatica, not a pinched nerve, not the hip joint in any ominous way.
Anyway, ice, continue walking, stretches, keep moving, apply special stuff name escapes me, which I've ordered. Not too many ibuprofen. I rarely resort to them anyway, so that's okay.
I hadn't thought of ice, not realizing it was that kind of situation, but I'm doing it now at intervals.
How excited you must be to hear my organ recital! I had this in my shoulder years ago, from overdoing, when I installed the kitchen backsplash and got carried away and did one for my condo tenant. Ow. On the good side my pinched-nerve neck, that you heard far too much about last year, is just fine. One ailment at a time, please.
Misfits this week is welcome supplies of bread and various fruit.
The fettuccine will make a great fett. Alfredo, with the good butter and Parmesan cheese I have. And another meal with meatballs from the plant based sausage I have in the freezer, with onions in the sauce.
And there will be honey toast in the afternoon with tea, this great seedy bread.
I took a walk this morning, a bit shorter than usual, and here's a lovely ring fungus, not a spider web
Ouch on the bursitis! Love the quilt and that dish sounds good. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, with rest, Mercy permitting
DeleteGreat capture of the butterfly, Boud. They are hard to capture in my experience!
ReplyDeleteIt always sounds wrong when a specialist tells you to keep moving when something hurts so much.
Tiger swallowtails tend to sit a while. And the specialist asking me to get up ow on the exam table ow!
DeleteI've never had yellowtail fish, but I'm pretty sure I've had an Australian wine named Yellowtail. It had a drawing of a kangaroo on the label, if memory serves correctly.
ReplyDeleteI've been hit and miss lately on reading. I finally figured out that you are recycling your leaf motif banner into a quilt. the tiger swallowtail is a welcome visitor.
ReplyDeleteClose! I changed the wall hanging into a slot and tab fabric book. The bits of applique you see are leftovers from the book. We don't often get tiger swallow tails, so it's always good. They're obliging about posing for pictures, too.
DeleteGreat swallowtail butterfly. Are they native? Or do they commute long distances? I believe I'd seen one of those in Greece. They look so exotic to someone used to red admirals and cabbage white.
ReplyDeleteThey're resident, it seems. I just looked them up. They winter over in the chrysalis stage. Easier life than the poor old monarchs.
