Okay, so this isn’t exactly your typical meat and potatotes dinner. It does have steak and it does have potato and it also has some veggies, just to round out the plate and to add some color. The flavors and textures of this dish are outstanding.
I must admit that I was hugely impressed by the outcome. Like much of my cooking, I started with a vague idea of what I wanted and it evolved from there.

I realized that it has been a week since I last posted some food here – it has therefore been a week since I last took a culinary excursion. Today I bring you a baked chicken breast dinner with broccolini. The chicken marinade is based around the flavors of tarragon, mint, lemongrass, and ginger. The broccolini is steamed and topped with a tarragon, mustard aioli. The dish is finished with a salad of baby spring greens and pickled carrots, cucumber and ginger.

For tonight’s dinner, my mother was in the mood for some shrimp so I threw together this little treat. It consisted of Shrimp Tempura with a wasabi/mustard sauce, what I am going to call “Kinpira Edamame” and sesame fried rice. Now the Shrimp Tempura probably doesn’t need too much explanation, though there are a few little extras tossed into the recipe for fun.

This is perhaps the absolute freakiest fish I have ever seen!
This past weekend (actually last week) I had visited two aquariums – The Georgia Aquarium on Wednesday (the day before their 10 millionth guest) and then the Tennessee Aquarium on Friday. Both aquariums are quite exceptional. Both are BIG. Both have some incredibly unique species of fish. While the Georgia Aquarium can lay claim to being the largest aquarium in the world, Tennessee claims to be the largest fresh water aquarium. The freaky fish shown here is called an American Paddlefish, Polyodon spathula, also called the Mississippi paddlefish or spoonbill, lives in slow-flowing waters of the Mississippi River drainage system.

Well, another weekend is gone nearly as fast as this evening’s dinner. Well both were quite good. Friday evening I went for a TreeWalk with my mother along the Hooch near Riverside Park in Roswell. A short way into our walk, I happened to notice a large snapping turtle on the side of the walk at the edge of the brush. She was about 12-13 inches from the front to back of her shell. As we approached I realized that she was digging a nest for her eggs.
