I can make deliciousness

[jethrien]

Well, the squash was obviously a no-go. I was kind of proud of the fish, despite the fact I wasn't super enthusiastic about it. I've been trying to teach myself to like fish, and bought some frozen whiting that turned out to be a lot fishier than I'm willing to tolerate at this point. I managed to finish off the last in a vaguely tolerable fashion by lemon-bombing it--there was the overkill combination of lemon butter, lemon pepper, and slices of lemon. After soaking the filets in milk for twenty minutes. Still nowhere near as good as, say, tuna or bass, but significantly less fishy.

But the triumph was my lemon-rosemary bread with chestnuts and raisins. Even before I started the fish, the entire house smelled of lemon zest. Oh, this bread is so good. I love homemade bread.

Our apartment smells like onion and/or garlic a lot.

It's because onion and garlic are delicious and make almost everything savory taste better.

I have NEVER had to throw out leftover, forgotten produce from the allium family. Onions and garlic go in almost anything.

We occasionally have cloves of garlic escape from their bag and hide until they're not food any more. Which is sad.

Garlic and olive oil are the two things that live on my counter. I've got the garlic in a little glass dish.
