What's Cooking in February, 2012 ?
*It's all about fish for this weekend.. last Friday my husband picked a big bunch of cilantro from his tiny garden.. when I saw it I thought of...

weekend is here.
xxxooo to both of you!

"fine" kosher salt??
I agree with that. I'm talking about the cooking process--pasta, and many sauces, for example--where it really doesn't make a difference in taste.

This recipe was a big hit with my husband. He loved it! I put the tomatoes right in with the guacamole instead of using them as a garnish. Will definitely be making this again!! I also used imitation crab, chopped up fine.
