I can't believe I lived up the street from this place for several years and didn't know about it. Next to Larsen's Bakery on 24th/80th NW in Ballard is a terrific small fish shop.
So, I wanted to sample their wares, and called Pete to see if he was up for a seafood lunch. (He was, yay!)
I'm really trying to eat fish a couple of times a week. It's hard, because I'm picky and want fresh fish the day that I prepare it, but I'm working on it.
I got this intriguing recipe from a friend, and just had to try it today. Off to Greenwood Market (while it still exists) and I ended up buying more than I expected.
Most days don't call for such a feast, but today just did!
I decided I had to have caramelized shallots.
But what to put them on? I bought a Tall Grass baguette and made some crostini, bought some chevre, and roasted some grape tomatoes. Voila! You can't see the shallots on the bread, but believe me they're there.
And next up, the main course. Parmesan-puffed Tilapia.
Well, maybe not cake. But read on. The original purpose of this blog was to motivate me to eat healthier and talk about it, and not become a shrine to cake. (Not that that's a bad thing.)
Speaking of, here's my latest effort. A German chocolate cake for my friend Kelly. It was exciting. Recipe courtesy of the amazing David Lebovitz. Everything I make by him gets me hugged.
But now, less cake and more green things. And hopefully more regular postings with me proudly showing off plates full of antioxidants and flavonoids. (Don't worry; there'll always be cake, too. I haven't lost my mind or anything.)
