The day after Fat Tuesday is the beginning of Lent. Joe can't eat meat today, Ash Wednesday, and every Friday till Easter. And Kayo doesn't believe in frozen fish sticks, so she needs to be creative in cooking on those days. Joe says we can't eat meat that had fur or feather (beef, pig, chicken, venison, bear!!) but we can eat things with scales or any reptiles (so that's fish, shrimp, aligator, frog.... oh, great!). Kayo decided it would have to be variations of fish and shrimp. Luckly we can get fresh lake fish from our local fish house.
Tonight we had shrimp curry over jasmine rice. And boy was that gooooood, so good that there were no leftovers. Not a bad start to Lent.

I would have no problem with a fish and shrimp diet (no thank you to alligators and frogs however). The Shrimp curry sounds delicious!!
ReplyDeleteJoe likes fishing for fish more than eating.
ReplyDeleteYou have to try deep fried alligator bites at Lagniappe though. It's like a cross-between chicken & fish.
