Happy December 14th Guys and Dolls:
With the holidays comes all kinds of traditional ethnic dishes, the Polish and the Italian heritages enjoy all kinds of fish on Christmas Eve. Roe makes her fish stew for us, it consists of flounder or cod, shrimp, scallops and mussels in a rich broth with tasty seasonings, and I look forward to it every year. I guess you can say it is based on a food holiday we celebrate today “BOUILLABAISSE DAY.” Bouillabaisse is a seafood soup made with various kinds of fish, shellfish and vegetables, flavored with herbs and spices. It is a traditional fish stew that originated in the port city of Marseille, France. This local stew usually contains fish like sea robin, conger, bream, mullet, hake, mussels, crabs and at times langoustines. Vegetables include leeks, onions, tomatoes, celery and potatoes. You also throw in a couple slices of that crusty French bread for the dipping. Well that takes care of fish stew for today.
Today is also “MONKEY DAY” I really couldn’t care less. The only monkeys I ever liked were the Sea Monkeys who I bought one day and they never lived that long to tell. Little kids like monkeys at the zoo and stuff so if you live near a zoo stop by and make their day.
Tomorrow is Thursday and Christmas is coming closer to us all. Have a great day and evening and stew it up tonight.
