Gravatar(said this before, but I'm gonna keep
posting this insanely delicious and
easy recipe until somebody notices.

Trust me -- you'll thank me.)

RAINBOW TROUT STUFFED WITH SPINACH, PINE NUTS AND DILL

4 8-ounce rainbow trout,filleted,
butterflied, rinsed and patted dry
Kosher or sea salt
freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons sweet butter
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 minced garlic clove
10 ounces spinach, cleaned
1/4 cup golden raisins
3 tablespoons chopped dill
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1: Season each fish inside and out with
salt and pepper.

2: In a large skillet, melt butter over
medium high heat. Add pine nuts and garlic
and saute until golden and fragrant, about
one minute. Add spinach and let wilt, about
2 or 3 minutes. Stir in raisins and dill,
and cook one minute more.

3: Divide spinach mixture into quarters and
stuff each fillet with filling. Tie each
fillet with kitchen string.

4: Return pan to medium heat and warm oil
until sizzling. Cook fish until skin is
golden and fish opaque, about five minutes
for first side and three minutes for
second. Remove, and remove string before serving.

5: Your tongue throws a party for your mouth.

steve simels


It's going well...I'll be jetting out to Texas to visit my brother in his new McMansion, where I assume I will wilt in the heat down there.

By the way, I've created, at the suggestion of a friend, a two-disc compilation: 2 hours with 2 songs from each of the last 18 projects. It takes a while to burn the discs, though, and I'm afraid your copy won't be coming until the end of the month.

The project boiling in my mind right now is to attempt some classic pieces--been paying a visit to Sheet Music Plus--such as Barber's "Adagio for Strings, Opus II" and Gershwin's "Blues Prelude #2," destroying them in my usual noisy, but well-meaning, way. In other words, I'm following up Beast with Beauty. Okay...subtle thinking is not my strong suit.

I'm anxious to try out this new Reason 3.0 software.

And...er...oh! Um...I guess all you wanted to hear was, "I'm fine, how are you?"

Drat, I'm so "unsocial!"

So she left the room. A few minutes later she came back and said, "you finish?"
