How To Pan Fry Perch With Skin On

From the person who hates fish came a request for….

Await for it….

Fish.

Mon mari has decided that, as he used to like fish, and it is good for us, maybe he should like it again.

My job, that goes without maxim, is to make certain that he doesn't take any 'bad' fish to put him off during this transition period.

Bad fish are fish with basic.

Nosotros need to ease into this carefully.

It's elementary enough to practice… Sort of.

When it comes to fish I am woefully ignorant so I just ask the fish monger.

Which is how we came to exist eating Nile Perch the other night.

This is the view from my desk – rain, rain and more pelting.

Rain
In that location was a brief pause in the pelting yesterday. Mon mari had roto-tilled this little patch beside the house a calendar week or so ago (during another pause in the rain).

Since the puppies destroyed my herb garden final fall, and in that location is no hope of keeping them out of it in the electric current location, I'grand moving information technology.

So I spent the 3 hour lull in the rain laying out my new garden, moving the surviving plants and sticking them in the mud.

Herb_side

This is what my herb garden used to expect like. I won't show you what it looks like now…..

I put chicken wire on acme of the little wooden contend, which made it difficult for me to get at the herbs but didn't fifty-fifty slow down the puppies. I'm using the little wooden fence to brand paths in the new garden.

Herbs

As long as I'k talking about puppy mischief / impairment, I trimmed the hedge.

They decided, last autumn, that it was fun to jump on top of the hedge.

I gave information technology a serious clipping, merely you tin can still encounter where they did a lot of impairment. I'chiliad hoping that information technology will abound back…. If I tin keep them out of it.

Hedge
Monday mari has been staying out of the rain and mud. He refinished the chiffonier in the dining room. It's a large cabinet, cutting into the wall. (Think, the walls are rock, 2 feet thick) To give y'all an idea, the greyish cabinet in forepart of it is almost 6 feet high
