Fishy Fridays!

So, I'm Catholic. Lately, you wouldn't know it, because I didn't get ashes, (though I did give up Facebook for Lent), I haven't been to church a whole lot, (both of those, thanks to my nights/weekends shifts in the ER), and I've always been pretty bad at remembering not to eat meat on Ash Wednesday & each Friday of Lent. That is, until this past week. Not only did we make it to Mass, but on Friday I managed not only to avoid a thoughtless pulled pork sammy for lunch, but I couldn't wait to make a seafood dinner that I'd been planning for weeks!

Before I get to the main course, I saw a post by Jessica Webb about crab rangoon, and I had just made those crabcakes, but realized I had a stack of wonton wrappers in the fridge from some Wild Mushroom Ravioli I'd made during the Master Chef ordeal. I decided to go back and get some more crabmeat, and throw some together myself. I eyeballed the ratios, and tweaked a few of them... I added some cilantro and a bit of Old Bay... (Maryland Crab Rangoon??) Spice it up a bit.

I used a Sweet Chili Garlic sauce for dipping.


For the main course, I made bucatini with mussels, scallops, and shrimp in a homemade wine sauce with roasted tomatoes, garlic, onions, and bok choy. It was even more delicious reheated the next day, when the bucatini snoodled up the sauce. Yum Yum!
