dinner tonight

flounder (breaded 'n' fried like my moms usedta make, but with lime juice in place of soy sauce to season it), bok choi (becoming a favorite at mi casa, steamed but still slightly crispy), and yellow hominy. still remember the taste of the dinners the fish market in my lawn guyland town usedta cook. the bound breading and deep frying they used held the crumbly white fish together, too; my mom's always came apart in the pan (as did mine tonight). flounder's usually a little pricey for us, but its flavor is just a li'l bit more delicate than the tilapia fillet we usually get.

my sweetie (who started two wks of spring break today) is crashed out. was afraid she's coming down (again) with the lingering crud that's been going around. fixed her a green tea with lemon and honey to soothe the throat before she conked.
