So here's some stuffs that I made recently........
A cumin and five spice crusted halibut...with that Purple Cabbage Slaw.
A Garlic Shrimp Po' Boy.
This one went to the reject pile. It was totally "ma-la" - numbing hot. But the Missus rejected it because it wasn't "red" enough. So it's back to the drawing board with the Chili Oil Won Tons.
Still, it was really spicy....
I still get embarrassed when the Missus requests "spicy tuna". So I sheepishly submit this Spicy Ahi Salad.
If you decide to make this, don't forget the tobiko and the avocado. I served this on mizuna, which added a nice mildly bitter counter-point to the dish.
And finally........
Tommy from Catalina Offshore recommended some fresh sardines, which had just come in that morning. The timing of which is excellent. It's that time again. Hopefully, by the time you read this, the Missus and I will be on our way to our next destination(s). So where are we going? Well, the photo leaves a clue.
I'll try to post once in a while while we're gone, but until then, everything is in the fine hands of Cathy!
Thanks for reading!

Would using annato to solve your lack of redness be sacrilege?

Dang can't believe that falls into a reject pile... I'll take it! Something to do with Sandemans but I'm too hungry to make a connection

Is there a recipe for the Chili Oil Won Tons and do you make your own wontons?
I remember trying to make your Spicy Tuna last year (but I used salmon instead) - the tobiko really adds to that dish !
