Hiya BetterMost friends.



It's Friday!  And Pay Day!

;D

Each pay day brings me that much closer to my goal!  ;D

Today's Travel Destination:

Caernarfon Castle - North Wales, Wales.

It is said that no other country on Earth has as many castles per square mile as Wales, and none is more famous or historically significant than Caernarfon.  Once the official seat of British power in Wales, it is still associated with Britian's royal heir, the reigning Prince or Princess of Wales.

This reminds me of a comedy bit Rita Rudner used to do regarding her mother, and I quote:


"You alll know that saying "Neurotics build castles in the sky, and Psychotics live in them?  Yes, well my mother cleans them!"

Since I mentioned this when Chuck asked what anyone was doing this weekend, I have to say that Saturday's trout dinner (actually, a late lunch) turned out really well.  A friend baked the trout (4 little ones, so we ate 2 apiece) and I fixed or bought the other food. 

As you know, I'm no cook at all, so I got by with some basics, but made a nice meal.  Ahead of time, I bought a 16-oz. potato soup (to split for 2 people) and 3 garlic knots at the local pizza place; opened a can of green beans and fixed it with lemon juice; and put some almond slices in a small dish, to fix with lemon and butter and use as the "almondine" in trout almondine.  All this went in the frig.

When my friend got here, I quickly reheated the soup and garlic knots and we ate them while the oven was preheating.  Then he wrapped the trout (which had been marinating in Italian dressing overnight) in aluminum foil on a cookie sheet, and baked them for 20 minutes.  Meanwhile I heated the beans and almond slices in the microwave.

This was my first experience with eating a whole trout at home, that came with a backbone still intact (the restaurants always remove the big bones for you), so that was a little trick to remove, and also to get out as many small bones as possible.  I thought the first fish could have been cooked a little more, so we put our second fish back in and heated for 10 more minutes.  30 minutes makes a good trout.

All in all, a good meal.

That's awesome, Debs!  You've got me salivating:)

May I ask if there was any romance as well, or are you two just friends?

P.S.  Chuck, sorry for us girls taking over your blog.

Just friends, Mandy, long-time friends.

But it was neat, making a meal like that.  Reminds me of when my sister and her husband came out and made "Thanksgiving in May" by cooking a turkey around Memorial Day, for the three of us plus my brother and nephew.  Ordinarily, nothing gets cooked from scratch at my house.
