HOME SWEET HOME

I'd been gone most of the week so when Friday afternoon rolled around, Meena and I were both pretty sure we wanted to stay home and kick it in the kitchen.

Meena got us started off right with a little salad she whipped up:
- scallops
- spinach
- bell pepper
- dressing (lemon, honey, soy sauce, salt and apple cider vinegar)

Meena felt like it was a little too acidic, but the scallops were seared perfectly and I loved them.

Next up was a little fish dish based on a little recipe I saw HERE. I mixed it up a little, however and did it with the following:
- flounder
- black sesame
- miso
- rice vinegar

And then I steamed it all in a miso broth:
- lemongrass
- shiitake
- miso
- red curry paste
- water
- soy sauce
- basil
- spinach

I have to be honest, I'm not a big fan of flounder. I didn't know that until I tasted this, but it's true - I'm not into it.

I liked the rest of the dish. The broth was nice and the layers of miso and fish were nice ... I just wasn't into the flavor of the fish. It was a little too ... chalky? I don't know. It was weird.

But I'll try this recipe again for sure. Just with a different fish. Something white and mild, just not flounder.
