All right. I am super late with this update, so I am sorry about that. I have been busy this week because.... wait for it..... wait for it.... WE ARE GOING ON VACATION!!! I am so excited about this, that all week I have been sitting at my desk at work, trying not to explode. Seriously. Okay well, what does all that mean in regards to this weeks dinner? I will tell you what it means! It means I copped out and bought pre-made things, because I was just too busy preparing for the trip. Okay, so maybe not a total cop out. The boy and I have been seeing the pre-seasoned fish at TJ's for weeks now, thinking that they would make a good Wednesday Night Dinner®. We were right. It made a very yummy and quick dinner. I paired it with things that I have already used in earlier meals. Things that I knew the boy had really liked, such as the corn and basil rice, and the "Beans so green". This proved a good thing for me because the boy gave me a 10 this week. Though in all honesty I give myself an 8. This was not super challenging and I had already made two of the components for other meals... But hey, he is giving me a 10 and I will happily except it. I did cook the fish differently than they suggested. They recommended that you should use the broiler. F that. I am not cleaning the broiler the week before I leave on vacation. Not happening. So, as you can see from the pictures, I just put a cooling rack on a cookie sheet and put the fish one top. Easy pea-zee, lemon squeezy. Cookie sheets and baking racks are way easier to clean than broilers.  Okay well I am going to be off next week, but I will still be cooking. Don't worry, I will inundate you with boring vacation pictures in a couple of weeks. Promise! Have a fun and completely unsafe 4th! The favorite holiday of pyromaniacs! (:
