We Have Been Chilly with Rain & Fish Cookbooks

   We will be gradually warming up this week. Our home has been quite chilly-If the woodstove set up would have been repaired I would have started a fire to take the chill out. I am refusing to turn the heat back on-smiles.

   I did bake up chocolate chip cookies for Larry yesterday and made a batch for me gluten free and white chocolate chips (acid reflux friendly chocolate for me) A nice treat

  I got lots of mail in my mailbox today including two of the fish cookbooks I found on Ebay. They were both packed with care  These two were all about salmon.

 Photos taken off the Ebay listings The seller had a rather high price on this one-it was vintage, and in like new condition-he did take my lower price offer. This cat motif was inspired from the author's own cat-and was featured for each chapter. I scanned the recipes a bit tonight-and found some I want to try.

   Note: photos will enlarge for better viewing

The book was printed in the USA  and here was the dedication to the author's cat

  This next book will read like a book. I thought it looked interesting along with the recipes. I searched around the internet  for the best price-as this one the price was low to high.. I took extra time on Ebay and found this copy-- like brand new for around $6.00 free shipping  A beautiful book that I will enjoy reading  These two were fishing on their boat so the book is a lot about their adventures.

I also bought this book that I have not received yet This one has recipes for lots of different fish in Alaska  

  Sharing the description of the book below and  this one was published in 1995.  This book looked like a good read as well  Found on Ebay -very good condition, around $9.00 free shipping, much less than Amazon's price

Table of contents-a lot of these fish listed can be in my fish box Found this on Amazon's listing

   So I think I will get some new ideas for cooking my fish. I can work around ingredients that my stomach won't like. Larry is not big on eating fish unless I bread and fry it.  So going forward foods that are no longer in my diet right now I will prepare for Larry and make me a fish meal.

  Always good to learn new things.  and speaking about fish books:  The fish company I shared about sent out a post that they are releasing their first cookbook this year November. It was fairly costly but if one pre orders they will give you back $25.00 off your next fish box-so I went ahead and ordered it-as I like their recipes that I have seen on their you tube videos. 

      I am going from no fish cookbooks in my library to several fish cookbooks. 

 Hoping we will be a bit warmer and drier tomorrow so I can get  back to working outdoors .again.

 Enjoy the rest of your week!!
