Baked Fish and Chips...by Jessica

Tonight's dinner was baked fish and chips. I used albacore and unfortunately cooked the poor thing to death so it was pretty dry. Fortunately, I had foreseen that possibly the fish may be dry and had made an aioli which moistened it up. Anything's tastier with a mayonnaise based sauce on it, right? This was an easy dinner which I'll probably make again and again... much to my children's dismay.

On a shopping note, I have another dilemma I'm battling with. There's a little something new I could buy, as a present for someone who will eventually NEED this item because the one they have will be broken and unusable soon. Since I've had a hard time finding this particular item and there's only one available and it won't be available forever, should I buy it now and tuck it away until the current item breaks? Or is that cheating? Kind of, huh? We said presents were okay, right?

I also wasn't going to speak of an incident today...but I will be honest. I forgot my coffee mug. And I looked so sad a dear friend bought me a coffee and I felt so guilty sitting in Starbucks drinking my tall, decaf, extra hot, nonfat, no whip, extra foam caramel macchiato in that wasteful little cup.
