Nam nam jin

First Pilates session of the year. Oh my lord have I gotten bendy! 12 days into the 60 Day Challenge and I am definitely getting results in my flexibility. Hurrah!

Tonight for dinner I cooked blue eye with green nam jin. I added some ginger to the nam jin because I can't help myself and some carrots to the bok choy and beansprouts. Blue eye is $3 cheaper per kg at the Fishman punt than it is at Mure's. If, like me, you want it and forget to ask for it skinned. Skinning blue eye is not, as I discovered, that difficult. I skinned my beautiful whole fillet by putting it skin down on the board, tail end facing me, gripping the tail end, I eased the knife between the skin and the flesh and just pushed the knife against the skin and away from my body and voila! Easy as that. :D Or better yet, get your fish guy to do it.

In the interests of keeping my interest in eggs I am forgoing the PLAN's frittata tomorrow and having asparagus with soft boiled eggs and parmasen, Cook and the Chef style. Yum! I love you Maggie. I love you Simon. I figure if I cook enough asparagus I can use the leftovers for a frittata or omelette tomorrow.

Oh and my hot tip for those wanting to make the hommus do not despair! It is perfectly normal not to have tahini in your cupboard - you can do it without tahini, see Stephanie Alexander's recipe from Cook's Companion. Don't tell me you don't have Cook's Companion it is not normal to not have that knocking about your kitchen.

Ciao for now!
