TV Food Network.

I meant NFNS.

The contestants can cook, but making them pair stupid ingredients and giving them time limits is the problem.


Here's the rub.

I would not pair Captain Crunch with tuna, nor put grapefruit with lobster.

The idea that someone would plan a meal with ghastly combos like that has no bearing on what people can cook.

Steamed fish is the absolute best.

If I cook fish I like to grab a piece of hard bread, butter it up and use it to sop up the 'fish juice'! that you get!

OR

(Again, this is a make as you go recipe!)

Gather up all the packets, drain the broth and place into a saucepan. Add milk and butter, a little cornstarch and heat. A splash of white wine and you are there!

You can leave it rough or run a boat motor thru it, strain the solids out for a smooth sauce.
