Fish Tacos & Missing Petunia Flowers

   Yesterday I got my second Wild Alaskan seafood box.  I was excited about this one as I chose a box where I could choose what I wanted.  I chose different fish new to me this time along with the halibut, cod and pollock. So this has been a fish adventure for me-smiles

  This is the photo of the label inside the box of what I chose. I had plenty of salmon in the freezer still. The new to me fish are the lincod, sablefish, and rock fish.  The quick cuts are chunks which I really liked for making chowders or tacos.I chose a variety of different fish cuts

 and surprise when the company sent me an email that my fish box had arrived, they also sent me a link to recipes for the fish I just purchased-That was very thoughtful of them. This company is very hands on.

  Yesterday I asked Larry what he felt like eating-I said too bad you don't care for fish and he says I like fish tacos.  Wow ok haha.   and he told me he likes cod-so am happy about that. I told him so far none of these ocean fish are oily at all just firm white meat.

  So I looked for ideas for a recipe-and just made it really simple-forgot to take a photo-but I found this one online. Recipe here from Epicurious for Wild Alaska Pollock-perfect

  I did cut the chunks smaller-so half this size shown above, sprinkled adobo spice on them. Sauted onion and sweet pepper strips til tender-set aside-cooked the fish in a bit of olive oil til done-added the sauted veggies, and a little bit of diced tomatoes and green chilis (since I am not supposed to have much in acid foods)

  I also always make refried beans from scratch and use different canned beans each time-added a bit of the diced tomatoes and green chilis to that as well.  Larry didn't want shredded cabbage so I chopped up leaf lettuce.

 These were delicious and will make them again-have not had a fish taco before.

Larry doesn't want to eat anything pork any more-he reads different things online since he can't get outdoors (too hot as well) and finding there are lots of worms and eggs in most pork. So he has informed me no pork-- So I am down to beef or chicken as meat choices and now a little fish too-

  I think I discovered why our air is a bit polluted here-the fires at the Grand Canyon in Arizona I thought we were a bit far away from Canada-so I think this is the source. We are back to hot and humid again.  The last time we had a summer like this-September was also very hot and humid.

  Oh and I could not believe this-the other day I looked over at my beautiful petunias in the big copper pot-what?? no flowers-not one. I am blaming it on the deer-we do have wildlife here as we are surrounded by woods-and we have seen the deer forage here-I think they come in the night or very early mornings. My neighbor loses her hostas every year to the deer. 

   Oh well they probably enjoyed them haha

  Stay cool in this heat
