I am a cook. I wish I could call myself a chef. And I am definitely not a cordon bleu.

This is one of my favorite dishes to whip up. It's easy, but it tastes great.

Here goes:

Buy a Chilean Sea Bass fillet (as many as people that are eating)

Place it in aluminum foil with butter and pepper. (Lemon pepper if that's what your heart desires.)

You can grill or bake the fish until it flakes and is white all the way through.

That's easy right?

It's also delicious.

I like to serve this with fresh asparagus. I blanch the asparagus for about two minutes. I take the asparagus out of the water and fry them in vegetable oil for another couple of minutes.

BAM!! Sorry, I'm getting carried away and hungry thinking about this!!

I also like to serve this with homemade mashed potatoes.

I boil red potatoes, leaving the skin on them. Drain the water, cut the potatoes and mash them with cheddar cheese, salt, milk, butter and some dry ranch dressing.

The potatoes aren't the healthiest way to go, but again they are delicious.

Serve the fish with a lemon, grab a glass of wine or a tasty brew and enjoy.

Well, I'm a good cook when I want to be but, for the past four years, I've had a husband who goes crazy in the kitchen. He even does some fancy plating, with drizzles of aiolis and towers/stacks of food and such. (I can't include a recipe because he often makes them up as he goes and I'm too busy relaxing on the couch to notice what goes into it.)

As a result, I am more than happy to take on the kitchen cleanup duty -- and he tends to use a LOT of pans and dishes and slop the stovetop!

Tony doesn't usually work on Mondays so our neighbor, Sabrina, has gotten used to coming over for dinner on Monday nights, which is great because he has trouble preparing food for only two people. Recently, however, he traded a shift with a co-worker and, while Sabrina and I were on our Monday afterwork outing to the dog park, I mentioned that he was working that night.

"What do you mean he's working?" she blurted in front of several other dog-parkers. "He cooks dinner for us on Mondays!" She then had to explain the onlookers that MY husband cooks for HER and ... it's all good.

The only downside to his cooking is that it usually involves LOTS of hot spices and fresh jalapenos so I find myself saying, "Please pass the Pepto!"

I remember, when Tony would cook, telling him to keep in mind that I have Minnesota mouth. His 'mild' sauce would have my mouth burning for days.

Remember my pizza toppings? No fish, no fruit, and no stinky vegetables.

I am THE cook at home. My wife burns water, I SWEAR it is possible! I do about 99% of the cooking. She does about 99% of the cleaning so it's an even swap, she enjoys my cooking and I enjoy not cleaning :) My favorite dish to make is Home Made Stuffed Italian Shells with Garlic Toast.You're not gonna get the secret recipe outta me either ;) Here's a hint: There are large shells and they are stuffed and baked.
