SEA BASS LUNCHEON WITH A THAI ACCENT




a delicious new concoction for lunch......sea bass, cooked from frozen, in hot oil, then, with butter added......spoon the hot oil/butter over the fish as it cooks, adding pepper, salt......then, as the fish begins to carmelize, add spicy Thai "Wild Thymes" chili/garlic sauce....continue to baste with spoonfuls of the now seasoned butter......add (and I am, after all, a Southern lad) a spoonful of spicy pickle relish..or capers, if you like....continue to cook on a medium-high flame, until a fork easily pierces the once frozen fish......turn down the heat, continuing to spoon the now rather complex-flavors over the filet, until richly brown....scrape up the crusty deliciousness and place it atop the finished bass, which now rests in a pool of hot, spicy surranopepper/green curry sauce.......super-yummy......12 minutes, start to finish! Another 'fish' variation, with once frozen, but 'fresh-caught' salmon, roasted with sesame oil and pepper, then placed over a bed of baby bok choy, carrots, garlic and edamame....then glazed with a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ginger and garlic....thickened with cornstarch. Served with nutty wild rice, seasoned with slivered almonds and cranberries.......

DEVELOPMENT OF "CHILD'S TASTES"

the sweet potato that had been hidden under a magazine, is still delicious.......I'm cooking only with abandoned stuff.....the last of this and that......emptying bottles, jars, cans and bags of their contents and creating edible taste delectations from their remaining excavated or drained contents.....sweet, hot, sour and spicy, in complex combinations, is the usual 'default'.....Just yesterday, washing dishes, I listened to NPR.....Bee Wilson, discussing with Terry Gross, the forming and shaping of a child's tastes........The introduction of complex and unusual taste combinations to children, during early development, will more likely produce adults with wide range of tastes and more experimental approaches to novelty and their acceptance of the unfamiliar....This may account for the coolness of the Thai people, the dullness of the British, and the extreme omnivorousness of the desperate and the creative.....
