I just walked into the kitchen carrying a stack of glasses gathered from the counter in our bathroom. There were only 4 but it seemed like a lot, and Eric and I had a good laugh at our own ridiculousness. Do you have a collection of water glasses in the bathroom?
It reminded me of Eric’s sister Reesy. Once upon a time she was rooming with a friend at the friend’s parent’s house while they were away for an extended period. The parents came home for a few weeks. One evening the mom remarked that there were hardly ever any glasses in the cupboard, even when the dishes had been done. Wonder where they went, she mused. That’s when Reesy went upstairs and counted the glasses in her bedroom: 15. FIFTEEN!!! She said that every day she would get home from work, grab a glass of water, and heads upstairs to her room. She brought them all down late that night when everyone was in bed, washed them and returned them to the cupboard without saying a word.
Do you see those 3 lovely fish filets up there? You have Tyrone to thank. Tyrone is my neighbor who often stops by while I’m photographing food on the porch. (Or to rescue my neglected children.) He comes over (“Whatcha makin’?”) and I tell him burrito bowls. He’s like, “well what’s all this rabbit food? Only 2 fish? Make this a MAN’S BOWL!” I only had 2 fish fillets in the bowl originally. He’s told me to add another one, and even held my fussy baby while I arranged the 3rd fillet.
He was absolutely right to tell me to add more, because guys these beer battered fish fillets are AWESOME. Have you ever made beer battered fish? I did once, for these Beer Battered Fish Tacos (you can read about the first time this Mormon girl bought beer, quite the adventure.) They are super delicious but a lot of work (frying, hello.)
These frozen fillets from Gorton’s are SO GOOD and 100x easier. The delicious pub-style beer flavor really comes through and makes for one heck of a taco. Or Burrito Bowl, in today’s recipe! And all you have to do is pull from the freezer, dump on a tray, and bake. No thawing even. They’re not hard to find in the store: just go to the frozen section and look for the wall of bright yellow packaging.
I jazzed up these burrito bowls with some Orange Avocado Salsa. I could eat this stuff with a spoon (and did.) It’s pretty simple, just some red onions (pickled in lime juice), sliced oranges, avocado, jalapeno and some cilantro. It really packs a punch and pairs with the beer battered fish beautifully!
