Do you use the citrus marinade for fish at all? Minus the meat tenderizer?

I never realized how many uses there are for cilantro. Eating it alone is difficult for me. Mixing it with other things, it really tastes great. Especially in salsa and guacamole.



Giada eating those donuts, holy cow!! I hope she had a cigarette afterward.
OH, Why do you read my mind?

I had the tube on and was in the kitchen cooking. I could hear GD 'making out' with her food. It sounded vile-the moans and groans! Then I thought the same thing......Does she roll over and go to sleep?

I saw part of the "Best Thing", It's all re-creations and probably places they had recommended to them.


Shrimp heads, in different forms aren't uncommon, but they are deadly.

Well, not deadly but.......

If you look at a shrimp head carefully you will see a sharp barbed spike that protrudes from in between their eyes. I was eating dried shrimp and got that spike shoved into my gums. I'll spare you the details but it's cost me dearly!

I had to laugh, just after I posted the last time, someone fired up a feast next door, you could smell citrus all over!


Fish........I have only done the 'foil fish' packages.

I take foil and place a thin layer of potatoes or lemons down, then the fish/fillets, lemon pepper, top the fish with the lemons or taters and wrap it up.

It you choose to cook a whole fish? A few green onions in the belly will give the fish a nice onion-y flavor, cilantro is also a good stuffer!

Trout is far and away the best fish to cook this way!

The potatoes/lemons keep the fish from sticking to the foil-they are pretty much stuck to the foil, so do not bother to try and salvage them for the meal.

A citrus marinade will 'cook' the fish and make it flake, like a ceviche, I have to admit I never have prepped a fish too much before cooking it.

I checked the prices on the tilapia I bought. It was 5.98 for about 6 lbs of fish. You get the head and have to dig around for the meat, but it was well worth it. I like the whole fish on the plate. It is a challenge, but food should be fun!
