BREAKFAST MAGAZINE'S 1ST YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Last Friday, I went to the Anniversary party of BREAKFAST MAGAZINE.  My friend Angelo Comsti invited me to come along with him.  The party started late but it was fun.  They had games and gave away a lot of prizes...I felt like I was at a children's party.  Actually, it really is the first birthday of their precious baby...fruit of their love and lots of hard labor....so for that,  I congratulate the makers of Breakfast Magazine! I wish you more success!!!

I was lucky too that I won a 1 year subscription! I am looking forward to receiving my issues in the mail :-)

Lunch was served in between the games.  We had Caesar Salad, 

Rice,

Vegetable Lasagna

Roasted Chicken

Porchetta

For dessert, we had some bars...carrot cake,

Lemon bars

Congratulations again and looking forward to what they have in store this year!!!

FISH FILLET WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Here's a dish I made for dinner tonight. Of course if I had red chili peppers, I would've added some to make it spicy. As is though, it works just fine...


FRIED FISH WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Recipe By: AAA

Ingredients:

- 1 piece fish fillet, sliced into 2 inch squares
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- oil, for deep frying
- SAUCE
- 2 tablespoons corn oil
- 7 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup basil leaves

Directions:

1. Season fish with salt. Set aside.

2. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan to 375 F.

3. When oil is ready, dust fish fillet with the corn starch and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

4. Make the sauce: Heat oil in a saute pan. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.

5. In a separate bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, water, fish sauce and sugar. Stir well. Pour over the sauce pan. Bring to a gentle simmer until slightly syrupy.
