Another week, another weight loss, and some new oysters to try :-) These are from Sister Point, in the southern part of the Hood Canal. These are a little smaller variety, very briny, and some of my favorites so far! They're a little bit ...

Another month, another weight loss goal, and another treat of oysters :-) I got some Hama Hama Oysters this time, grown near the Hood Canal. I'm slowly but surely getting better at shucking. Still a couple shell fragments inside, but they were larger flat ...

This was a great recipe, once again inspired by one courtesy of Central Market. Theirs used more butter and olive oil, and a bit less wine, but my version is healthier, and was very good. We'll be doing this again for sure! Simple sauteed zucchini and yellow ...

The other part of my treat yesterday for meeting my first weight loss goal was a half dozen Quilcene oysters. These were a little harder to shuck, as barnacles had stuck decent sized rocks to a couple of them, but I did quite well and didn't lose too much ...

I had a little leftover salmon, hollandaise, and an egg white from last night's dinner, so I added one whole egg this morning and made myself an omelet. An unusually delicious way to start off my morning :-)

I love preparing fish this way - it's so simple and really lets the fish shine. This works equally well on the grill too.
I made a very small batch of hollandaise, as it's quite rich and I didn't want any leftovers sitting around.

This was a very simple and delicious preparation for a lovely piece of fresh halibut. The skin was removed, the fish was seasoned lightly with pepper, then dusted with panko, and fried over medium heat in a little olive oil. Served over a tossed green salad, the light ...
