Because the seafood at my local grocery store is often either too old, or too expensive I don’t buy a lot of fish. I do swing by the seafood counter between the produce and the cheese though because every now and then, they have something truly special. Today was one of those days. They had [...]

Mild winters aside, two of the things I miss most about living in California is having a backyard with a BBQ and getting a jump-start on summer’s first produce.
