I made dinner...



Roasted Sea Bass with Olives (Courtesy of Tastes of Italia - Holiday 2006)

8 boneless, skinless sea bass fillets (I used tuna - you can really make this with any fish you prefer, and for any number of guests just adjust cooking time and amount of fish accordingly)
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1/2 lb grape or cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the fish in a Pyrex roasting dish large enough to accomodate one layer of fish. Mix remaining ingredients in bowl, and pour over fish. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes - fish should flake when pricked by a fork.

Lunch

Since Tom is now home all day, every day, he has to make lunch for himself. For that one time in his life that he slaved over various Tiramisu recipes to come up with the most perfect one, a chef he is not.

I think he could avoid starving to death - that much is for sure. At least he could live on sunnyside up eggs, and maybe some hot dogs. And Kraft Mac & Cheese.

So I recommended a few (easy) suggestions for him to mix it up. I said, make some pasta, and saute it with a little Olive Oil and minced garlic.

I get home and he is ragging about being ready to eat his hands off. I say, I thought you made pasta for lunch? He says "It didn't turn out so well".

Turns out he put the pasta in the boiling water, and then added the garlic and the Olive Oil to the water.

Good Lord. What would this boy EVER do without me?! HA!

Ring Ring Assist...

Don't you just hate those moments in life where you feel like you made a colossal fuck up? I'm sorry - there's just no better way of putting it than that. Yeah, welcome to our lives.
