The First Supper




Yeay, our first homemade meal as husband and wife :)
I'm still getting used to saying that...husband, husband, husband.
Anyway it was yummy. I got to use our new knife, a
Wüsthof Classic Hollow-Ground Chef's Knife
. Apparently it is bad luck to give knives as a wedding present and the giver is supersitiously supposed to be "cut" out of your lives within the year. Once we found that out were really bummed considering thats all we really wanted. Our current knives are some sweet QVC ones that Mr.S had to have cause they were such an awesome deal (please note the sarcasm). I've hated these knives since we got them 2years ago.

Anyway apparently you send a penny to the person who graciously gave to the everlasting gift of knives and your friendship is intact. William-Sonoma sent us the penny. How nice! I appreciate good customer service.

So the virginal slicing were with in-season tomatoes. My knife skills are lacking if you can't tell. I finely sliced some in-season tomatoes and sprinkled them with basil, salt, pepper. yummy.

Here's what we had:

- Tilapia (lightly cajun seasoned)
- Fresh Tomatoe Salad (sprinkled with salt, pepper, basil)
- Fried Green Tomatoes (dusted with mixture of flour, graham cracker, buttermilk powder, cajun seasoning)
- Pacifico beer with Lime :)

It was my first time making the Fried Green Tomatoes. Next time I would use less salt and let them rest longer in their own heat to make them juicier.
