I made BBQ salmon, with the kids favorite mole sauce. It sounds wierd with salmon, but it is strongly flavored fish that holds up nicely to the spicy sauce. Simple is usually best when it comes to good food, but mole is one of those exceptions. While it is not hard to make, it has a million ingredients and takes time to cook, but it is worth the effort. We did more fusion cooking tonight and had mushroom risotto(again, few ingredients, but you are standing stirring for half an hour!), and vegetables. As an appetizer our neighbours brought Korean pizza, which is almost like a crepe with squid, shrimp, chives baked in-it was so good with hot sauce. More simple elements, yet fantastic ingredients make the dish every time.
I really miss our favorite Thai restaurant. We have yet to find a place (between Halifax and here at any rate) that serves as good a tom yum goong soup. I can replicate it fairly well, but sometimes the kaffir lime leaves are hard to get. Our quest continues, but I am sure the west coast will give us a good replacement.
I am absolutely ecstatic that Mealie and Josh love green peppers. They are sitting here snacking on them as I type. Josh also loves squid which surprised me. Yet all three will down mussels and lobster like there is no end, so the pickiness is selective, that is for sure. It was not long ago peppers were taboo around here!
