Aloha!

A good part of the month of May was spent on Maui. Although this trip was primarily for business, we did manage to get some touring in and to check out some of the great restaurants, inns and resorts, some for the first time and some old favorites. We will be returning in October for what may turn out to be our last visit before making the final move.

Also in this month’s blog is a quick and easy recipe for broiled tilapia that is both healthy and tasty.

In our  Pull My Finger post, we will be sharing jokes from around the web and jokes that you send in. Feel free to contribute by email at:   [email protected]

In This Month’s Issue

We hope you enjoy our blog magazine.

See you all after Labor Day.

Peace!

Recipes

Tasty Tilapia

Healthy and Delicious

This dish takes about 45 minutes from prep to finish. Tilapia does not have its own distinctive taste and lends itself well to whatever seasoning and flavoring you choose. This recipe is straightforward, easy to prepare and low in calories.

What you need

  • A broiler pan (the kind you find in most ovens)
  • Aluminum foil
  • Canola oil cooking spray
  • 4-good sized tilapia fillets or loins (I like the frozen variety, after defrosting, they taste more fresh).
  • 4-Cloves of finely chopped garlic
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 8-Thin pats of real butter
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • Parsley flakes
  • 1-Lemon

First

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. This is a very important step.

Second

Line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Leave the top grate uncovered. Spray the top grate with the cooking oil so that the fillets don’t stick.

Third

While the oven is heating up, rinse each filet under cold running water and pat the excess water off with paper towels.

Fourth

Place the fillets on the cooking spray coated grate and drizzle some olive oil over each filet.

Salt and pepper to taste and add some of the chopped garlic on top of each filet.

Place 2 pats of butter on each fillet and then sprinkle some parsley flakes on top.

Squeeze the lemon juice over the fillets

Place the pan in the pre-heated oven and cook for 30-35 minutes.

This is nicely served over a bed of rice with cooked green veggies on the side.

A good pinot grigio adds the finishing touch.

Enjoy!

Pull My Finger Again

June 2015

From Brooklyn, NY

A guy wakes up one morning with a hangover. ”Honey, I know I made a fool out of myself at the party last night, so tell me what I did.”

”You got in an argument with your boss.”

”Well, piss on him!!!” said the man.

”You did. He fired you.”

”Well, screw him!”

”I did.” said his wife. ”You’re back to work on Monday.”

From Anonymous

Little Johnny is always being teased by the other neighborhood boys for being stupid. Their favorite joke is to offer Johnny his choice between a nickel and a dime — Little Johnny always takes the nickel.

One day, after Johnny takes the nickel, a neighbor takes him aside and says, “Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. Don’t you know that a dime is worth more than a nickel, even though the nickel’s bigger?”

Johnny grins and says, “Well, if I took the dime, they’d stop doing it, and so far I’ve made $20!”

From Lancaster, CA

Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, & the friends to post my bail when I finally snap!
