Mediterranean Poached Fish

1Tbsp Olive Oil

1 Medium Onion

1/2 sweet red pepper, chopped ( can be substituted with green bell pepper )

2 cloves of chopped garlic ( Here's an easy way: http://mishasblue.blogspot.com/2011/04/quick-tip-1.html )

1 can (14 1/2 oz) chopped tomatoes ( diced works too)

1/2 Cup of white wine or water

12 Kalamata olives, cut in half ( pitted Black Olives work just as well)

Zest and juice of 1 lemon ( No lemon zest, no problem. At least as far as I'm concerned)

1/2 Tsp of dried Oregano ( Italian seasoning should work as a substitution)

1/4 Tsp of Salt

1/8 Tsp of Pepper

4 Fish Fillets (5 to 6 oz each) such as, flounder, talapia or catfish

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, red pepper and garlic. Cook about 6 minutes, until softened, stirring so that the garlic doesn't burn.

Stir in tomatoes,wine , olives, lemon zest and juice, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add fish and cook covered, over medium-low heat, for 8 to 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily. Gently turn the fish over halfway through cooking.

Fashion Friday Photo - Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

 I decide that today's would be Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, nee Middleton, in a red Alexander McQueen dress set that she wore to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee River Pageant Flotilla on June 2,2012. Yes, I know two other people have worn the dress, one won't be mentioned because she stuck her rump in the air and made a fortune and the other one, Tulisa, I have never heard of. That silver pair of shoes that the one who shall remain nameless wore is not good. If Tulisa had worn a solid or a peep toe black leather pump instead of looking like she had black spiders on her feet, she would have looked better. But with that being said, Kate outshined them by unmeasurable fathoms. She looked quite stunning in the red Alexander McQueen design and nude coloured shoes. BRAVO!

Happy Birthday Liam!

HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY, LIAM NEESON! 

My sweetest Floppsie,

  Three years ago this month you came not only into the world but my life and today you left both.The lymphoma seemed to have come out of no where and I hope you didn't suffer too bad. I did try to make it better with medicine, but I wasn't told that you could have had cancer I was told it could have possibly been you heart.But with the xrays today showing the fluid build up in your lungs and abdomen with only small pockets of air,removing the fluid wold only prove to be therapeutic and not a cure.I knew what had to be done even though I didn't want to, so my Floppsie Oppsie Doopsie Woopsie Poopsie Kitty Baby Boy I let you go where you can breathe clearly for the first time in a while, enjoy the sunlight and finally get to chase birds and smell the flowers.

 My baby boy, you may have been one of many but I love you as if you were my only one. With your cute Jimmy Durante nose and big ears you were my eternal lap kitty, always looking for a snuggle and whatever I may be trying to eat you thought it should be all yours. I will always love you and wish that you were here with me. You are a good boy and thank you for letting me be your mama.

I Will Love You Forever,

Mama
