Cooking Brown Butter Fish Florentine

So I tried my hand at another Betty Crocker Quick & Easy dish last night, the Brown Butter Fish Florentine. I went to a local seafood seller and bought the tilapia Tuesday, washed it with lemon and let it sit overnight. The cooking experience was pretty good–I didn’t realize that there is a difference between raw almonds and slivered almonds, but am glad @ShayWade got slivered almonds. I also did not think that my little skillet could handle 1/2 a red pepper and 9 ounces of baby spinach leaves, which are grilled in the sauce leftover by the fish, but I was really wrong.

All in all, a very pleasant eating experience. Take a look–it looks just like the book!

KidWonder Hangs With The Fishes

MomWonder, KW and I spent a lovely morning at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT. Conveniently located about a mile off I-95 (exit 14 in CT), it was a bit pricey for the adults but free for KW. The Aquarium has about a dozen tanks with fish of all varieties, turtles, seals, sharks, octupus (octupi?), plus a petting area and a stingray tank (stingers removed). KW was the bravest of all of us, and petted them all, crabs, sea stars and stingrays.

There is also a great playspace for kids under 5 which was well attended. KidWonder had a terrific time, testing the limits of his voice in the echo-rich halls, tapping the glass to wake up the wildlife, and interacting with the other families who were also visiting. If MomWonder wasn’t watching so closely, he would have walked off with a girlfriend to boot!

Without further ado, a short slideshow of the morning:
