A Light Healthy Meal

Well first things first, I believe I blew the interview.  Plain and simple.  I will have an answer tomorrow but I think I already know what it is so back to work and continue to grow.

This afternoon I opened up my blog comments and found the recipe for Ms Hamby's Shrimp Salad compliments of Dorothy Porcher Holland.  I will post it for all of you since I don't think you want to read back to February.  Thanks Dorothy!  I had the great pleasure of meeting Ms Hamby's daughter at friends house last month (yes there really is a Ms Hamby).  You have to try this salad, it is delicious!

Yesterday afternoon Michael and I went to our favorite spot on Sullivan's Island for some beach time.  If you know the island our secret spot is down by the Fort.  The only time there are a lot of people there is on the holiday weekends.  You get the ocean and the harbor, one of our favorite things to do (well mine actually but Michael plays along) is to figure out how many containers are on the big ships.  I look a tad like a well cooked lobster still today and will eventually get around to putting some aloe on my skin.

We came home hungry and I had taken out some Cod for dinner.  Doesn't sound that appetizing does it?  Off to the Internet I went, after all there were fresh South Carolina peaches waiting to be used.  I found a recipe for Cod with Tomato Peach Salsa on the Fitsugar website.  I of course made some adjustments to it and will make more next time.  The original called for way tooooo much onion and not enough lime juice for our taste.  We had this over cooked Cod and it is absolutely wonderful.  Peaches are just coming into season here and I know where to find yummy tomatoes so......
