It’s a bazillion degrees outside with humidity to match. Going outside to grill would mean leaving the comfort of the air conditioning. Baked cod seemed a much wiser choice tonight than grilled.
Hey… I’m not a native. I don’t like drinking my air.
But native or not, dinner needs to get on the table. Sadly, I’m not one of those people who can’t eat when it gets too hot. I can always eat. Always. Feed a cold, feed a fever. Always.
Dinner tonight was really, really simple… Baked cod, roasted cauliflower, and cheesy rice.
The rice took the longest to cook. 1/2 cup of rice in 1 1/2 cups water, with a drizzle of butter and a half-teaspoon of Italian seasoning. When it was done, I stirred in about a cup of finely-grated parmesan cheese.
The cauliflower was drizzled with olive oil and coated with crumbs and asiago cheese. Baked at 375° for 30 minutes.
The cod was the quickest. I drizzled some butter on top and coated the top with crushed croutons. Into the 375° oven for 10 minutes.
Simplicity.
I’ll probably make it out to the grill again, tomorrow. Although I have had sloppy joe’s on my mind for a while…
H-m-m-m-m-m-m…..
