And what a great Mother's Day it was!

2 Mangrove Snapper ready for our plates!

We had an incredible, relaxing day. The weather was great so we had breakfast and I got my wonderful gifts (see previous post) and then lounged around the pool for the day! Nice huh?

Check out the teeth on this fish!!! I guess that's why they call them Snapper!

Dinner came and Tony pulled out the fish. He was able to get some Mangrove Snapper that was fresh caught that morning. I have found my new favorite way to eat Snapper by way of Peter at Kalofagas - Greek Food and Beyond. He did a post last month on Latholemono. which is really just lemon and oil. But boy is it good. Now I always have to mess with perfection and because we have fresh herbs growing in pots right now we bastardized his recipe until it is almost unrecognizable but the inspiration is still there!

Served with some grilled green beans.

Last night T. grilled the fish and topped it with a lemon and oil mixture with garlic, shallots, fresh oregano, fresh basil, parsley, salt and pepper. This is truly the best way to eat freah grilled fish. We always used to just put a quirt of lemon on but this is sooo much better.

See all the fresh herbs and garlic?

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Omelet with sauteed spinach, feta cheese and avocado!

And what a great day it has been. I told everyone here that the only thing I wanted this day was to not have to clean up the kitchen once! So far it has worked! But I also got a whole bunch of things besides that.

First off I was not woken up at 6:00 in the morning. T. got up with the girls and they took the dogs for a long walk and I heard nothing until about 8:00...this is unheard of in our house so I was really pleased. Then came the gifts.

My youngest one had a beautiful card and a silhouette drawn and cut out on a piece of paper and my oldest had a card with a poem that she had written for me, a dolphin figure that she made and a small picture frame. Those gifts are so incredible for me and become true treasures. T. pulled out all the stops and arranged for the girls to have sleep overs at their friends house and for him and I to have a weekend away!!! This is very badly needed and has not been done due to crazy circumstances...hurricanes, car accidents, sicknesses etc. So keep the old fingers crossed on this one!

T. also made me an incredible breakfast omelet. It was filled with all of my favorite things...sauteed spinach, feta cheese and avocado. Life doesn't get much better than this...oh wait, yes it does. He was able to get 2 mangrove snappers for us to grill for dinner. That will be tomorrow's post!

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!
