Gimmie that Fish!

Like millions of others around the world, my 5-year-old is hooked on McDonald’s catchy commercial for its Filet-o-Fish sandwich.

Gimme back that Filet-O-Fish. Gimme me that fish! What if it were you hanging up on this wall? If it were you in that sandwich, you wouldn’t be laughing at all!

Something Corny and Something Fishy

This recipe is one that is a gluten free adaptation of a recipe given to my mother years ago. It has been a favorite in our family ever since and works equally well hot with vegetables or cold. It is something we often take as a picnic food or to the football. Another advantage is it is inexpensive to make. My son-in-law told me he couldn’t make up his mind whether he’d like Cornies or my quiche for his picnic birthday lunch. I made both. He was doubly happy.
