Recipe! From me! (Aloha Day 8)

[ciroccoj]

Made up a new dish tonight:

1 cup fresh pineapple, very small bite-sized chunks
1 banana, sliced
1 filet of swordfish, cut into bite-sized chunks

1. boil up a bit of water in a frying pan
   
2. once water has boiled, add the pineapple
   
3. once pineapple is warmed up, add banana
   
4. once banana has started to fry (some water should have boiled away by now), lower heat to medium and add swordfish
   
5. stir frequently, turning swordfish until there are no pink bits
   
6. once all pink bits are cooked, lower heat to low and stir infrequently until you're ready to serve
   
7. add a bit of salt to taste when serving
   
8. you may or may not serve banana and pineapple you used to cook the fish; I chose to serve it, but it had mixed success. I liked it, Chris and Daniel ate it, but Justin declared it to be utterly foul.

ETA: I served it with uncooked banana and pineapple on the side. That went over very well :)

Great success with this dish. It also went very well with a pineapple-based wine. I had no idea there even was such a thing as pineapple wine.

By the way, I've had three glasses. For me, this means I'm very well-lit ;)

Yes, I realize the above recipe is not something most people will ever have the chance to cook. We're in Hawaii; orange juice and tea cost a month's salary, but swordfish and pinapples are almost free.

Went snorkeling today. Wow, that's tiring. Pictures tomorrow.

Yeah, but *I* will try this recipe, because once in a while, someone I know will go deep-sea fishing, and bring home a swordfish. And I'm dying to taste this, now that you've described it.

Pineapple wine? Well, I suppose if there's Retsina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retsina) and "Garlic Dinner Wine", then it's probably not the worst wine out there!

Yeah, but *I* will try this recipe,
Ooh, cool! Fresh swordfish :) :) :)

I served the pineapple and banana that was used to cook the fish with the fish itself, and I liked it but Justin hated it. However, I also served bananas and pineapple chunks that had not been used in the cooking, and those went over great.

Well, I suppose if there's Retsina and "Garlic Dinner Wine",

Well, then again, blue cheese also sounds revolting but it has its fans. Garlic dinner wine may be an acquired taste.

Ever see a PBS series called "The Spice of Life?" Every episode focussed on the history, botany, uses, etc of one spice. The week they did garlic, at the end they showed a garlic-themed restaurant meal that featured, as the piece de resistance, Garlic Sorbet.

Um, yeah.
