FISH TACOS

Really? Need I say more? We eat some damn fine food around here...

Fish Tacos with Lime Sauce: 

1 lb. fresh tilapia or catfish (i've used neither - cod and haddock are both stellar) 

2 limes

1/2 c plain yogurt (original recipe calls for mayo) 

1 t (MORE!) chili powder

1/3 c flour (or, cornmeal or GF flour for the gluten-free folks) 

8 small corn tortillas

1 c shredded cabbage

2 carrots, peeled and shredded

1 avocado

1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, thinly sliced 

Rinse and dry fish. Cut into 1 inch pieces. 

For lime sauce, juice the limes into a bowl, stir in yogurt and chili powder. Remove 1/3 of this sauce and toss fish pieces in it. 

In a large skillet, heat 2 T olive oil over medium heat. In a shallow dish combine flour and a dash of salt and pepper. Working with half the fish at a time, lightly toss in flour mixture and add to hot oil. Cook 2-4 minutes turning over to brown. Drain on paper towels. 

Wrap tortillas in moist paper towels and heat in microwave for 45 seconds. Top tortillas with fish, cabbage, carrots, avocado, and drizzle with lime sauce. ENJOY! 

Our Dancing Queen...

Mikayla's hip hop dance recital was last weekend. She ROCKED! Unfortunately, no cameras allowed at the show, but I snapped these before she went in:

Then, today at school her and a friend did their own rendition of 'Born This Way' by Lady Gaga on the playground, complete with homemade t-shirts: 

(we're actually not the awful parents we may appear to be. we've assured mikayla that with a little studying she will in fact learn mathematics just fine. ;o) 

And, for your listening pleasure:

Wicked Proud

The Kurz legacy graduated their last this past weekend, and in true style. (oh, AND summa cum laude!) Kelsey Etta Kurz, est. 1988, rec'd her B.S. in Recreation and Tourism Management, with a minor in Business Administration. (She outdid me. I graduated with the same degree from UMM a few years back, but without honors and no minor - she's a little twerp)

Here's a few shots from the day:

I think the bagpiper liked me...

There she is!

Rick Scribner, me, Bill Eckart, Kelsey (Bill retired this year after decades as professor in the recreation management program at UMM. He delivered the graduation address, to nearly 100 graduates this year. He has left some pretty big shoes to fill. Happy retirement, Bill!) 

That's one proud mom! 3 kids with 3 college degrees...
