These guys would make me happy (though not if I had wet nail polish...).
In other news: I actually cooked fish for dinner...twice! It's Halibut Season (which is kind of like wabbit season?) and I went to Dirk's Fish Market over on Clybourn and got a nice 8oz. piece of halibut and 2 8oz. pieces of salmon and cooked them Saturday and Sunday nights respectively. Can't believe how well they turned out, and how fast it all was. I used my new favorite cookbook How to Cook Everything which I'd seen others use and read lots of good things about. The book is kind of like an updated Joy of Cooking with it's size and scope, but it doesn't make me frustrated with antiquated cooking methods and ingredients the way Joy does.
Anyway, the halibut with soy and the basic roasted salmon recipes are fantastic and are definitely in the rotation. If I can scare up more halibut this season, I'll be doing it again really soon.
Took a picture of the salmon last night, like a dork. (The butter got 86'd after the photo.)
