It's a type of saltwater fish. I had caught one this summer. Still have a little bit left. Being in the south we eat a ton of seafood.

So jealous...seafood is my all time favorite food - but in Iowa? Any time I am by a coast, I am a glutton - eating seafood at every meal to get my fix.

Yeah when we go home to New Orleans we freeze shrimp and pack them in an ice chest to bring back to the Bay Area. Tiger prawns are nothing like our Gulf shrimp. Plus tiger prawns are more $$ like $20/ 2lbs. I can get $5/lb back home. We buy 25-30lb at a time. And also lump crabmeat, crawfish tails, catfish, etc... DH would die without seafood lol

Wow, I'm just drooling! When it's fishing, crabbing, shell fish season we take full advantage of it here in the pacific northwest. It's all I eat. Feed me seafood everyday and I will be so happy!
When it's not shellfish season, we have to buy them which aren't as fresh and good as the ones we catch. Our season is over. I was so bummed. I had fresh crabs every other day for the entire summer!

This is a great thread for ideas. I cook at least two meals a day, but I do not plan ahead. I make whatever I have a craving for. Maybe I can join in daily, or maybe post at the end of the week?

Yesterday I had oatmeal with fresh strawberries for brunch and I made a gyro for dinner.

I'm going to start joining in. I am a single mom whose daughter just went off to college. I used to cook a lot for her, natural, organic foods. Now that she is off to college, I need to really buckle down for financial reasons, especially because I just moved and expenses are high right now.

Friday she is coming home for the weekend. Since I am now halfway between her and her bf, he will be coming too. I'm trying to feed them good food like she is used to, but do it as cheaply as I can. Here is my menu for the next week.

Friday night: rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn (I know lots of carbs, but she wants comfort food)
Sat lunch: leftovers or use chicken for chicken salad sandwiches
Sat Dinner: shrimp stirfry with peas and mushrooms, egg rolls
Sun lunch: likely leftovers before they head out each their own way
Mon: crockpot of chili, freezing leftovers in individual portions for me, corn muffins, salad
Tues: any leftovers from weekend that look good
Wed: tuna melt
Thurs: stuffed cabbage I have in freezer
Fri: more chili
Sat: chicken salad made with frozen leftover rotisserie chicken from last weekend, roasted vegetables
Sunday: sirloin tips in crockpot, broccoli, wild rice

It is hard to cook for one. Right now I'm finding I just don't eat rather than facing the kitchen. That isn't good at all, so I need to do this. I'm going to print out my menu and put it on fridge. I find I am more willing to throw something in crockpot so ready when I am hungry. If I wait until dinner time, I either say forget it or grab something just snacky. Not healthy at all.
