We went fishing this weekend. I was hoping we'd come back with many fillets of smokeable fish like mackerel and bluefish, plus a couple striped bass of course. The mate on our boat must have chuckled to himself when he saw two large coolers (TWO!) in our trunk. Talk about optimism. We caught four striped bass, but none were keepers, and we came home empty-handed.All that said, we had a great time on the water and we did agree that since we weren't going to spend the rest of the weekend cleaning, smoking and freezing fish we now had oodles of free time.
I'll be traveling next week and won't be home to cook at all next weekend. I'm also pretty busy planning for my trip, so I am taking advantage of all the great produce I can find to take care of this week.
On Sunday I will:
- Roast red peppers and grill eggplant & zucchini to use in various dishes later this week.
- Make a carrot and beet salad.
- Make yogurt cheese - will post on this soon.
- Hard-boil a few eggs.
- Make Sunday dinner.
