It&#8217;s good but not special enough. Mike &amp; kids liked it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Chicken-Hawaii-233533\">Chicken Hawaii<\/a> &#8211; Basically chicken parts in a coconut milk curry. It was OK, a little spicy, but my main complaint was that it wasn&#8217;t very flavorful. I wouldn&#8217;t make it again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Chilaquiles-Verdes-354951\">Chilaquiles Verdes<\/a> &#8211; It was actually quite a tasty recipe, though it lacked umph. Still, the sort of thing you can go on eating until you&#8217;re full. However, it was too sour for Mika (who is having trouble with any acidity in her food).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Classic-Sole-Meuniere-357949\">Classic Sole Meuniere<\/a> &#8211; This recipe was actually very good, I enjoyed it thoroughly, but it&#8217;s basically fish swimming in butter &#8211; and for the calories it needs to be out of this world. Note: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/int\/creole\/catfish.html\">Here<\/a> is a DELICIOUS version of the same dish, by Emeril.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Cider-Glazed-Lamb-Chops-240612\">Cider-Glazed Lamb Chops<\/a> &#8211; The lamb chops per se were excellent, but the glaze was very mild and didn&#8217;t really add much to them. A waste of good ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Grilled-Sirloin-Steaks-with-Blue-Cheese-Walnut-Butter-2274\">Grilled Sirloin Steaks with Blue Cheese-Walnut Butter<\/a> &#8211; Nice butter, but it didn&#8217;t compliment the beef.\u00a0 The beef itself needed more salt and lacked flavor.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>From allrecipes.com<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/\/Recipe\/beer-batter-fish-made-great\/Detail.aspx\">Beer Batter Fish Made Great<\/a> &#8211; Made this with sole. Took the advise of some of the reviewers and halved the spices. Not good idea, the batter wasn&#8217;t very flavorful. I may try again, or may try something else.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/recipe\/broiled-tilapia-parmesan\/\">Broiled Tilapia Parmesan<\/a> &#8211; Mike liked it, I thought it wasn&#8217;t that flavorful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/Recipe\/Cornmeal-Crusted-Catfish\/Detail.aspx\">Cornmeal Crusted Catfish<\/a> &#8211; I liked the consistency of the breading and it stayed on very well, but it had no flavor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/Recipe\/Favorite-Pork-Chops\/Detail.aspx\">Favorite Pork Chops<\/a> &#8211; OK, but not very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/Recipe\/Honey-Cornbread\/Detail.aspx\">Honey Cornbread<\/a> &#8211; Got great reviews, but it was sort of dull.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not really a posting for public consumption.
