About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

It was delicious and the fish was cooked perfectly, but the dominant flavor was lemon. The “paste” came out as a thick liquid; maybe the lemon was too juicy (the recipe took ½ lemon) or the garlic clove not big enough. The fish was grilled (instead of broiled) over medium heat and the thick liquid poured over. This was a big Steelhead fillet and the liquid covered the fish without running off.

This is a fun cookie recipe that is like a Russian teacake without nuts or powdered sugar and flavored and colored by Jello. I tried Mango, and you use a small portion of the Jello in the frosting. I put chocolate sprinkles on some, green sugar on others and slivered dried mango on the rest. I found it on an old Xeroxed recipe from a friend and was delighted to also find it on line. You can use any flavor of Jello and would be a good recipe to use in a pinch if you only had flour, powdered sugar and margarine or butter on hand.
