I said, "Yeah Ma, but how do you tell if its good?"
And her answer was, "If you can't tell by looking at it, you have no business buying it."
Instructive, don't ya think? Does wonders for my culinary confidence, too.
Maybe Samu can find out and write a "How To" book like the one he wrote on sand castles.
I'm surprised he said bucket and not a plastic red cup, because mommy never forgets to pack those for the beach.
Notice how he made his book a "page turner" - isn't the suspense killing you?
So, about the fish, this article on "10 Best Family Restaurants" caught my eye, when it said about Red Lobster, "It inspires children to eat fish."
Red Lobster inspires children to eat fish, really? Starvation usually inspires my boys to eat anything. Even their own boogers, which they'll eat even when they're full.
You want your kid to eat fish? Go to Molly Bloom's and order their Fish and Chips. It may not be the healthiest way to eat fish but it's swanky! Besides, if you're the leftover garbage can, just be inspired that it'll go great with your beer.
Haha! I think Samu did a great job with his how-to book!!!! Woot Woot, Samu! :) I'm not good at cooking fish at all- I never get the texture right- and I have no idea how to select a good fresh fish! On the red plastic cup- When my kids play "band" in the play room- THAT is the song they sing! haha! RED SOLO CUP!!!! YOU FILL ME UP !!!!! LET'S HABA PARTEEEEEE!
ReplyDeleteC'MON WET'S PARTEEEEEEEEE! :)
How cute! Do they sing "Lookin' For Love," sounding like Buckwheat?
DeleteWe took Noah to Red Lobster a few months ago and he told us, "I never EVER want to go there again."

Can't fool him - Red Lobster is to seafood, what KFC is to fried, bionic chicken!
DeleteThe only fish I cook comes in frozen stick form.
ReplyDeleteBest how-to book on sand castle making EVER!
Thank you on the book review! I may just send his M.S. out to Random House publishing...
DeleteNo doubt a best seller on Amazon one day!
ReplyDeleteThe boy's writing is really good. Keep after him.
I only cook salmon, and even then I buy it packaged from Norway. But as far as buying fish locally, not over here. Stuff grows in the water @ Kuwait. And if you're standing in the right spot on any given morning, you catch a whiff of gut wrenching stench that's just damn awful. Phew!
Wow - you get your pick from Norway?! That certainly beats Salmon from Atlanta.
DeleteDon't worry friend, I have no idea how to choose fresh fish too! I just go to the wet market and find the stall with the most customers! Hahaha! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Samu, I tell you again, will make you a very rich woman someday! I'm sure! :)
The stall with the most customers - that sounds like a plan!
DeleteI go over to the grocery store and just pick the fish with the newest date on it. There's nowhere to buy it from behind glass here.
ReplyDeleteThen we have to take you to Citarella - their fish display is super fancy. Still don't know what to buy, but it is fancy!
