Second thoughts

Ever had 'em? I have them all the time. As a matter of fact, the reason I am writing this now...is because I had started writing last night...re-read it...and had second thoughts. Truth be known, what I had written made no sense to even me! I was in a mood...and not a good one. I wasn't in a bad mood...just not a good mood.

Consequently, yesterday's writing will go away. It's for the best.

I raked a little of the yard a bit ago. It's quite hot out right now and I don't think it's necessary that I rake dirt in the heat. It's not necessary to rake it at all...I just want to. I lasted 10 minutes.

Husband is bringing home Mexican food for supper. Me thinks that is a brilliant idea. It feels like a Guadalajara plate night. I think I have mentioned it before...it's like a big fat chalupa with a ton of guacamole on top. Delicioso!

My house smells like fried fish. I can't get rid of it. We had fried fish sandwiches for dinner 3 nights ago and it is still lingering. I have sprayed, wiped, scrubbed, burned candles, boiled lemons...but when that smell wears off...here comes the fish. I even washed the curtains and all of the bedding today in case... well...just in case...nope! Then, I got something out of the refrigerator and I detected the aroma...of fish. I do have another package in there, but it's still frozen. I don't know. I'll defrost tomorrow and it better be gone.

Husband isn't supposed to eat fried foods but he cheats. And I cheat with him. He formulated this recipe years years ago and it's a favorite. We used cod, but any fish will do. I fried it in peanut oil and used a tempura batter. Then, he serves it on sliced french bread with thinly sliced red onion, lettuce, sliced tomato and lots of a tartar sauce that he makes with capers instead of pickles. It's great.

I make a really easy tempura batter that stays light and crispy:
