Happy Birthday, Little Brother!

Today is my little brother's birthday. Happy Birthday, Kinne! My daughter and I called to wish him a happy one, and even though he was upset that he didn't get what he wanted, I'm sure he'll have a great day.

Here he is about to do something ridiculously dangerous, I'm sure.

Best Fish I've Ever Made

The other night, I actually made a fish dish that both my daughter and the boyfriend loved. Neither one of them likes fish unless it's fried (mostly fish sticks), but both of them loved this. I was actually pretty proud of this, myself...although it just means I'm good at following directions. Anyway, I got the recipe from The Food Network, and the recipe is Tilapia with Escarole and Lemon-Pepper Oil. It cooked fairly quickly, but it was a moderate pain to make after work and dirtied a lot of dishes. Otherwise, it was awesome.

My daughter helped me wash the fingerling potatoes. She thought they were adorable "baby potatoes"!



Am I the only person who had never heard of escarole before this recipe?



And now with the tilapia. You steam the tilapia over the potatoes and escarole.



Sorry for the bad pictures, I had to use my old camera since the new camera's battery died and we are still unpacking (so I have yet to find it!). Because the battery died on the old camera as well, I did not get a picture of the final product with the lemon-pepper oil. I also recommend not adding the full amount of salt to the oil without tasting it first...I had to make a new batch with less salt the first time around.
