Tilapia Tuesday

Here we go again - more fish.

Here we go again - I'm tired and I don't feel 100 percent. My 3:30a wake-up time probs doesn't help (this occurred naturally, btw - my alarm is set for 4:30a - I'm not THAT crazy), but as a result, you are getting a less-than-witty and super-short post tonight. I have a hot date with my bed, The Biggest Loser and some zzzzs.

Reviews:
We had some pretty strong opinions tonight - the kid didn't like the "crust" on the fish, while the hubs thought the meal was delish. I am somewhere in the middle - good, not great. The best part is that it took almost no time to throw together.

Ranking:
Three Forks

This is the kid's portion. And yes, he ate all of his asparagus!
