Virgin Blogger

I wanted to share small bits of information about my daily life to my friends and clients and I have been informed this is the hip way to go about it. I am excited and unsure how my blogging will turn out but I am going to give it a try.
Today like most days I was very hungry and felt I should fill my belly with something new. I took a look in the fridge and saw a recently opened large can of tomato sauce. I thought to my self how would that taste with some fresh fish and veggies. I decided fish stew was something I had not made before and sounded iteresting. I used a large covered wok to prepare this dish. I finely cut up some garlic, onion and celery and sauted it for a few minutes in olive oil along with salt and pepper. Then I added on large can of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, thin sliced yellow squash, fresh basil, parsley and small mushrooms. At that time I also dropped about a 1/2 pound of thin sliced Cobia and 4 big scallops. I also added a pinch of garlic powder, pinch of red pepper flakes and a pinch of thyme. I let that mixture simmer for about 30 minutes and then added two cups of cooked rice to savor the flavor. I was very pleased and so was my friend Red.
