This is a recipe for sole meunière, which is a completely logical way to prepare fish, in my humble opinion. Preparing something “meunière” means that you’re using flour, since meunier means “miller.” It’s pronounced muh-nyay for masculine nouns (meunier) and muh-nyair for feminine nouns (meunière).

Isn’t she purty? Of course we had their family over for dinner, and when I asked for requests, she mentioned that her husband… Read More

I am joyful today because Matthieu and I are fasting. The details are between us and God, and really I shouldn’t be telling you this at all because Matthieu 6:16-18 says: ‘But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to… Read More
