Oct. 9th, 2004 03:44 pmWent birding this morning. Lotsa migratory waders and stuff. :) Two new birds even. Read about it here.
I should start remembering sunscreen. My decolletage (ooer now that's a big word!) and face are all burnt. Aloe vera gel is wondeful stuff.
Well. One of the things on my sequential to do list was to figure out what to make for dinner. I decided on fish and fennel spaghetti. The recipe calls for 600g of blue eye fish (whatever that is).
So I bought the fennel and headed to the seafood section of the deli. I decided I'd get hoki because 1. they didn't have blue eye and 2. hoki was nice and cheap (sure it was thawed, but I was only using it for spaghetti). So I waited. And waited. People down the other end of the deli counter were being served and they didn't seem to even notice me. Eventually some women gets served down there then walks up to the seafood section and asks for the hoki. The guy behind the counter asks "how much". Her answer? "All of it." Great. I go do the rest of the shopping.
I checked out the dodgy seafood store next door. I don't feel comfortable buying fish from a place that smells like that. Fresh fish should smell fresh, not that "sat in a warm room all day" fishy smell. Their fish was bordering on $40 a kilo anyway (the hoki was around $6). A tad out of my price range and certainly not worth it for spaghetti.
So I'm not sure what dinner will involve now. Probably chicken. We eat too much chicken - it's the only meat that halfway affordable.
