You Catch It, You Cook It! Bluefish...

You Catch It, You Cook It!
BlueFish for People Who Say, ‘They Don’t Like BlueFish’

2 Small Bluefish Filets (the smaller the better) SKIN ON, No need to scale.
IMPORTANT: Bleed fish as soon as it is caught and then put it on ice to keep fresh. This prevents the Bluefish from becoming ‘Fishy’.
Serves 4

1. Coat the flesh side of the Filet with Zesty Italian Dressing
2. Liberally sprinkle the flesh side with Paul Prudhommes Seafood Magic Seasoning. This spice is the secret to this great recipe!
3. Place the Filets flesh side down, directly on hot grill. The grill should be clean and sprayed with a non-stick spray to prevent the filet from sticking.
4. Cook the fish as long as you can until it starts to stick to the grill. Roughly 5-8 minutes depending on the heat of the grill. The Flesh should be Brown/Black.
5. Turn the filet over and place on a sheet of foil large enough to wrap around filet.
6. Place 3-4, ¼” Thick Pads of Butter on top of filet and wrap aluminum foil around and over fish.
7. Continue cooking 3-5 minutes, (Depending on thickness of Filet)
8. The Fish is done when the flesh flakes apart with a fork.
9. Remove Fish and Foil from the Grill.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve the Fish directly off the foil. The flesh will come off the skin easily, leaving the skin stuck to the foil. Serve over a bed of rice with vegetable d’jour. Squeeze fresh lemon on filet prior to serving.

WARNING: Make more than you think you will need. They will want seconds!

Attitude

Charles R. Swindoll quote

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."



My friend, David shared this quote.

His wife, Lisa had clipped it out for him and slipped it under his office door, which she often did while he was at work. He loved her inspirational quotes. David had gotten home late on Sept 10th after our Photography Convention Trade Show. He owns a Photography Business in Boston and has been a vendor at the show for many years. Lisa left their house the next morning at 5AM for her flight.
She was on Flight 11, flying from Boston to CA for her TJX job.
David read this quote that Lisa had cut out for him later on Sept 11th.

David shared this quote in his 911 Thank you notes to others across the country and the world. He said this was a message from Lisa for all of us and wanted to share and inspire others.

David is now remarried, his wife, Debra was a single mom with 2 children, David had 2 young girls and now they have a baby together. David made a choice for himself and his kids to not have anymore of his 'time' taken away as a result of 911.

As I was shuffling through Jeffrey's high school papers this week, I noticed the same quote. The quote by itself is very powerful. Combined with David and Lisa's story it is inspiring for us to remember the importance of attitude and how we can make a difference in others lives.

Time For Change

Although the below post may not seem directly related to photographic skills, it has helped us focus on mind, body and spirt. That is our reason for sharing and helping others. In order to work towards our 'Why' as an artist, we needed to focus on solutions for a healthy lifestyle.

As some of you know Jeffrey came down with Lyme-Meningitis 2 years ago in Sept '06 (first week of school was diagnosed, he was 15 years old). After 5 days in the hospital, he was on an at home IV for 4 weeks....through the entire golf season! He was determined to play with the team against all odds. Jeffrey was medalist once during the '06 season when they played against Falmouth at Ocean Edge. A great achievement considering all he was dealing with. Since we were told by the doctors and Lyme specialists that he was young and we caught the Lyme's early enough that he would have no long term effects. If I only knew then what I know now.

Lyme's disease has a mind of its own. So little is actually known about it. Jeffrey's constant symptom was the tiredness. One week, turned into one month, 2 months, 1/2 year and then a full year. Jeffrey could literally fall asleep anywhere at any time, even driving. On Aug 1st after a number of visits to doctor we decided to try nutritional supplements. I had heard a number of stories of people with CFS and Fibromyaglia(sp) and Lyme's that had excellent results with these supplements. Dr. Ben Lo, a well respected doctor from Michigan had researched and tried the products as well. As stubborn as I was that:
A. Jeffrey did not have any long term effects from Lyme's and
B. That supplements can be expensive and don't always work...
We decided to give this a try.

It is now 4 months later since Jeffrey started the supplements and Jeffrey had an incredible golf season. He practiced or played 7 days a week. He was focused, determined and worked very hard as a committed athlete. He shot a 70 at the MA State Sectionals in Oct 08 and won the individual title at the MA State South Sectionals. The NRHS Varsity Team placed first at sectionals.

The following week Jeffrey went on to win the MA State DIV 2 Championship and the NRHS team placed second overall.

Jeffrey was taking LifePak Nano twice daily, along with additional Marine Omega supplements and Cordy Max (promotes healthy stamina). This has definitely made a huge difference in his life. It was a challenge to introduce a 17 year old to a daily regimen of supplements. But it would be even harder to try to take the supplements away from Jeffrey now.

He was committed to MIH. Congratulations Jeffrey! You're an inspiration to all of us!
