Cooking

So lately I have been wanting to try some new recipes. Last week it was a recipe of fish. My Dad gave us some halibut from when he and two of my brothers went up to fish one of the final frontier of the world, Alaska. My wife and I aren't very big fish people. In fact we both kind of hate it.
This is my usual face for when I hear the word fish for dinner or smell fish. I can't really say if this is my Love's face when it comes to fish. So it is really surprising that I actually cooked up the fish instead of giving it away. The reason why I wanted to cook the fish is because it is healthier for you and it was a challenge to find some kind fish that I would eat.

We got the recipe from a family that Steph was babysitting for, this last August. At first I put off making fish. The reason for this is because I have had a lot of people say that I would love the fish, but I was never a really big fan of the meal. (Sorry to those that cooked fish for me. At least I ate it, and I just don't  like fish.) This recipe, however, was really good. The part of fish that we don't like is the fishy taste that comes with it. The recipe, that we used, got rid of that. If anybody wants to try it out just give me a shout. I don't literally mean shout at me or shout to get my attention. All you have to do is call me and ask.

This week, today actually, was pumpkin roll. Unlike fish, my face for pumpkin roll is like this.
My love for pumpkin rolls came at first taste. I first tried pumpkin roll the fall before my mission in Washington DC (some of the few good thing that has come from Washington DC to me.) I didn't have it again until this last October when a neighbor brought back our plate from when we took over some cookies. Then again, last week, at a reception for a friend couple.

I got my recipe from allrecipe.com for this one. It turned out pretty well. I have learned a few tricks though for the next one I make. The next time I make it is going to be for Thanksgiving.

My tricks are mine and you can only have them if you ask. It has been great trying these new recipes.

Time to vote.

Well, I guess it is time to vote. I have read all the names that has been suggested. Some of them didn't make the primaries (I am sorry I just think that they didn't spark anything for me to write about); however, I have chosen at least one name from everyone that suggested a name. You get two votes so use them wisely. To vote just your two choices in a comment, and put down the number not the name. There is no changing your mind so make sure you vote for the one that you want. NO WRITE INS!!!! You had your chance to suggest a name.

Here are the choices.
1.Ardent Armstrong
2.Taylor's Tirades
3.The Chronicles of Staylor
4.Stretch Armstrong
5.Cool Hand Taylor Talks Trash About Technical Things Thought up by Thugs and Thinkers
6.T.T.T.T.T.
7.Taylor and Steph

So choose but choose wisely
