FRIYAY 🐟 Friday!! Think I might be sprouting gills after this dinner. . . La Hacienda doesn’t play around with portions. This meal was huge. And unbelievably priced. Served eight, with margaritas, for $125!!!!! . #seafoodisthenewblack #seafood #lent #talapia #mexicanfood #friyay #dinner
Sometimes simplicity wins. . . . Alaska halibut has hit the PNW markets ... have FAS halibut shipped to you and know that when you get to cook fish this fresh, it needs nothing other than salt, pepper, lemon and a spring of something green just because it makes the picture look better 😂 . #halibut #seafood #seafoodisthenewblack #fresh #fish #fishing #alaska #wildcaught #pnw #cooking #grilling #dinner #simple

I’m sooo productive today—chocolate croissants 🥐☕️❤️and it’s only 8:30 a.m.!! . . Yes ... I made them. And no, I’m not a baker. At all.

I say again, I’m sooo productive! . #breakfast #croissant #baking #chocolate #delicious #morning #sundaymorning #cooking #seafoodisthenewblack #productive #french
Hollandaise. It’s all about the wrist action 😂 What’s not to love?! Sockeye (duh) and couscous on the “side” . .

Stay Gold Ponyboy (and grab the bull by the horns)

“Natures first green is gold, Her hardest hue to old. Her early leaf’s a flower, But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down today, Nothing gold can stay.” ~ Robert Frost I memorized this poem the first time I ever heard it … I was probably 12 or 13 but I […]

How to get over being lonely—hint, rum helps.

You ever get that feeling that you’re all alone in the world—not literally, unless, that is, you live on some remote island where you really are all alone minus a few sand crabs and, if you’re lucky, a long lost barrel of hidden pirate’s rum. The kind of alone I’m referring to is the kind […]
