Hi Dave,
RH> I'm still cooking for 2 altho Steve is doing quite a bit more these
RH> days. Meals aren't usually very fancy but we're well fed. Working on
RH> eating down a well stocked freezer, basically buying fruits, veggies,
RH> bread to go with the meats we have on hand.
DD> I cook for myself. My body's schedule and Dennis' body schedule are
DD> very different. He's the same age as I am (plus 2 months) and we're
DD> best buds. But he sometimes has breakfast al late as 2 o'clock in the
DD> afternoon. And then supper after I'm already in the sack. It's a
DD> little flustrating when I've whipped up something I'm especially proud
DD> of and wish to share. But, we remain friends.
Sounds like you've reached aa good compromise but I can understand about
being a bit disappointed when he's not available to try something extra
special. Some days Steve has an early breakfast (Fridays at 6:30 with
guys from the church for a Bible Study, Saturdays with fellow veterans
about 7:00); some days we have it together between 8 & 9, other days we
eat separatly. Lunch and supper are together unless one of us has a
meeting with supper included.
RH> We don't do as much fresh fish as we used to, partly because we're not
RH> right on the coast as we were at various times. We have cut back on
RH> portion size of a lot of things, even meats, as the appetite has
RH> decreased with age.
DD> I do a fair amount of fish ... of the freshwater varieties. I have two
DD> fish markets here where I can get native fish (catfish, buffalo, drum,
DD> Copi (the new name for the Asian carp), turtle, etc. Or, at Roberts, I
DD> can get saltwater varieties, both frozen and fresh(ish) flown-in
DD> stuff.
Nice! Wegman's and Publix both sell fish but we don't buy it that often.
Got spoiled, living on the coast of NC, Pacific coast and HI. (G)
DD> I've not made this for a few years. But, it's a favourite. And I can
DD> buy it in single (or double) portions ready-to-cook at Robert's Fish
DD> Market. Which is very convenient
