Here fishy fishy fishy...

Tonight I got one of my Christmas presents. A cooking class - how to cook fish! It's one thing I've always been insecure about. Now, one class will not make me a master chef, but it was really good to do. And it was a hoity toity one, so I got to eat all the fish, and have a glass of wine. Mmmm....

That looks like such an interesting class! Maybe I'd appreciate fish more if I took that kind of class. I'd feel like Julia Child.

What a fun Christmas present. I think I would love that. I can cook shrimp and salmon but not many other kinds of fish.

What a nice gift! The party favor, not so fun, but the rest of it looks great.

I'm all about the butter sauce--dunno about the poaching..... Hmmmmm....
