First Dinner at Katy's House

I cooked dinner at Katy's house for the first time last night. We had been at the grocery store earlier in the day, and she requested I cook something spicy. So, on the condition that she clean the stove top when we got back home, I was easily convinced to come up with dinner and cook it. I just had to come up with a plan.

Some organic broccoli, jalapeños, heavy cream, lemon butter and dill marinated tilapia filets, and shaved parmesan cheese later, a plan was formed.


Garlic and jalapeño
One chopped large broccoli spear, one thinly sliced jalapeno, and three finely chopped cloves of garlic went into a pan with some olive oil. After they had a chance to get nice and warm, some heavy cream and a small amount of butter were added, and that was followed by a generous helping of the parmesan cheese. Black pepper and basil were also added near the end. This became the sauce for the pasta, which was cooking simultaneously.

The tilapia, for its part, came from the store with the marinade included. All it took was a bit of baking at 400° for, oh, 12 or 13 minutes or something like that.

Anyway, it turned out very well, and it was enjoyed all around. Dorian even got a bite (or two!) of the fish.

Yumm. Tell me Oliver wasn't left out of the fishy goodness.

Alas, Oliver has not yet figured out that if I'm eating, it's a good time to bug me.

So let me ask you...does your "dream job" involve being head chef at one of New York's finest eateries? Being revered at the finest culinary schools in Paris? What is your dream job, anyway?

Mmm... you're hired!
Dinner was wonderful.
Yay!

mmm.... tilapia. reminds me of uganda.
