Festive Fish Dinner (new to me recipe)

Made a new recipe.
Mr. Husband and I had
Tilapia for dinner yesterday as
it was a feast day for
Sts. Sergius and Herman of Valaam.
*
We did not have a lot of time
to make anything special
(nor did I have tons of energy)
so I grabbed my vintage 1962
Joy of Cooking...


And found a simple recipe
for baking them with
some white wine.

Very simple.

We found it needed salt and pepper;
I realize that I should of added a bit of lemon juice,
since I did not have the prescribed
lemon wedges.

The sauce for the fish.

Our fish.

We also had organic grapes...

We fried up lots of potatoes and some mushrooms
for side dishes.

 

It was pretty good
but not our favourite as it was a bit bland.
I am thinking some onion and lemon,
salt and pepper in the baking would
greatly improve it for next time!

Would love to know how you fix fish
 when one is short
on time.
Any you ideas wish to share?

First Day of Summer

 

It's been a quiet day today.
Mr. Husband is working at home.
A good friend called me,
who I only get to talk to every few months
and that was such a blessing.
I was able to knit a small orange square for
the blanket I am making
while we talked :)

Last night Mr. Husband and I went to a beautiful
Catholic church for a
1 year Requiem Mass for a friend's father.
The Mass was in Latin
and beautifully sung.

As it is a fish day today,
I made fish sticks for
Mr. Husband and I's lunch.
As I was making it
I turned around and saw that
Cleo had decided that she wanted a fish stick too :)
*
I recently got news that I may have a bit
of either mono-in-recovery or
chronic-mono.
Still waiting to talk to my naturopath.
Meanwhile,
I am having a really
tired day today.
*
Do say a prayer for me.
It's been a long 4-plus months since I came down
with mono and while I am getting a lot
stronger than I was at my worst,
I am still struggling a bit with it.
*
I thank God for His mercies
and that I have so many blessings in my life,
regardless of this situation!
*
Blessed day to everyone today!
