Pollack Fish with Lemon Sauce

Today I made with the planning of my brother Turtle. . .  Pollack fish with lemon sauce and avocado and lemon rice.

Both dishes are very easy to make.
However with fish, especially as fragile and flaky as Pollack you need to focus and make sure you don’t over cook the fish. I only cooked each batch (which I had two batches I made for three people) for only about 5 to 7 minutes once the butter started to bubble and the pan was hot.

I cooked the fish in a fry pan with butter, fresh squeezed lemon, chives, salt and pepper.

After I took out the fish, I used the butter with lemon juice and made a sauce. I let the pieces of lemon cook in the sauce and added tablespoon of sugar  and butter as it was a bit tart.

I cooked the rice (2 cups of uncooked rice to 4 cups water) and once the water was gone and rice cooked completely added  3 smashed avocados and 1/4th cup of the lemon-butter sauce. I also salt and peppered to taste.

It’s a simple, light meal great for a date night, if they like fish.

Simple Biscuits

Zeroman and went shopping last Friday (so we could what I posted about Soupy Saturday.)
We got store brand cheap biscuits, but all he did was melt a bit of butter and made biscuits that would have costed us two dollars of more a roll.

There are only a few things I will buy that are name brand
(soda: I’m a Pepsi or 7up girl, Tide, I love the smell and it doesn’t make me
itch, and usually coffee I love Maxwell house.)

Growing up, I didn’t usually use too many fancy stuff. We would add things and make things look fancy.

A simple roll of biscuits can do many things.

We had sausage gravy over the same buttery biscuits.

You can make dumplings, mini pizza, hot dog rolls, semi-homemade cinnamon rolls. (All you need are just a few extra ingredients).

I couldn’t believe we just paid sixty-nine cents per roll.

Intro with the cooks.

I’m Beck.
However since I’m about to invite you into my virtual kitchen, I like to be on personal first name basis.
You can call me Beck, just do not call me late for dinner. LOL. (I’m corny, just a warning.)
My best dish is my seven layer lasagna.

I bake as well as cook.

I usually do NOT do my cooking alone.
I also cook with my brother, we call him Turtle.
His best dish is Chicken Cordon Blue.


And our neighbor we call him Zeroman.
His best dish is seafood pasta salad.

 
We all have different backgrounds in cooking and have all started to cook at very early ages.

Zeroman went to school for culinary. 

My brother and I both have pulled our cooking skills from different family members.

If know what is in something, we can pretty much make anything.

Random things

Turtle loves his spicy foods. I cannot do hot.

I love comfort foods and many sweets. 

Zeroman usually has a mixture of sweet and salty snacks when we hang out. 

So I like to share our culinary and food interests with others out there.

We all need food, so we might as well enjoy it.
