No Steak Tonight

Randy wanted my Mediterranean Fish tonight. So here it is. There is a fish fillet under all that luscious tomato and olive and basil. The asparagus is steamed cause I just couldn't maneuver roasting that in the same oven as the fish at two different temps. I find that it really is next to impossible to mess up asparagus.

We have been eating at least 3 nights a week on our patio this spring. Just in the last week it's gotten really hot, too hot to eat early. But today was a little rainy and overcast and much cooler. We enjoyed the patio even if it was a little humid.

I find that when we eat outside, with no TV or telephone to distract us we talk. We connect and relate. Whether the food is fair, good, great or spectacular, I really enjoy the meal with my husband. Of course we have the iPod dock outside so there is music. Sometimes he insists on his iPod and not mine, but I don't mind cause it's a nice time with him.

  1. Great photo and the food looks delicious! It is hard to mess up asparagus-- roasted is so good. I've found that sauteing in a bit of butter is a close second-- Of course, steamed is healthier.

    Your outdoor dining with hubby sounds lovely. I hope someday to have a screened in porch with fans for summer outdoor living. Right now I have zilch-- not even a patio. Pitiful!
