Wow - didn't know you could make pancakes from wild rice. Hmm... DH is from Minnesota - will have to inquire about that one. Or better yet, perhaps you just want to share some with me, like half the bag. And of course, can't have pancakes without syrup so please just pour half of that lovely bottle into a jar and send it too. Okay? Oh and that cookbook is, well, dedicated to me - just look inside the cover. At least I was told it would be. I didn't get my copy yet, so you may want to stick that in there too. And then there's the cool blue plate... well, you know where I'm going to say to stick that, don't you? Don't you? IN THE BOX, SILLY! With all the other stuff you're sending me!

Kandm I also don't think there's anything to substitute salt cod, which is sold here in every fish market as well as many fruit & veg shops and supermarkets. This recipe looks good and easy and I know I have also had these fillets when I lived up in Balearic Islands. I can say though that the desalting process is a really big nuisance. Can you imagine taking the cod out of the fridge four times a day to rinse it and change the water for two days? That's 8 times. I have done it and found the saltiness was still too much to bear. However it is a distinctive flavour and if you can find some you may want to try it. I would suggest you substitute it with fresh cod, although the taste won't be the same, but those fritters do look good don't they? I've had those fritters at special events and they don't last long at a buffet table. Especially when dipped in alioli (that's the Balearic spelling for garlic mayonaise). SharonCb

All my fish recipes use halibut, but you can sub cod for them all. Parmesan-Crusted Halibut ======================== Shared by Lori (Hoopysmom) Gardenweb Source:Recipe from Ray�s Boathouse: 1/2 cup flour 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons water 2 cups Panko bread crumbs ( I never use panko.

Place flour in one bowl, beat eggs and water place in 2nd bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan and lemon zest in 3rd bowl. Lightly salt and pepper the halibut fillets.

Turn fillets over and place pan in preheated oven. Roast until centers are pearly white and opaque. Grilled Halibut with a Green Olive Relish Basic outline of salsa - Chop green pimento filled olives, add chopped seeded tomatoes, minced garlic and parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. relish/salsa to serve with the fish. Pan Roasted Halibut with a Lemon- Chive Beurre Blanc Sauce. The sauce is very simple. Heat over medium high the juice of a whole lemon, reduce by half. Lower heat to very low and start whisking in pieces of cold butter, a little at a time. You do not want the butter to melt and separate. You want the sauce to emulsify. If the butter does start to separate, remove from heat and quickly whisk in more butter off the heat. Add chives and serve over fish

lette_04- I've been through several brands of salt grinders over the years. My first grinder I bought from King Arthur Flour Company was an Emsa, but it had a small chamber and was difficult to change the grind. I now use it to grind whole nigella seeds (a nice change-of-pace taste to black pepper). We had a set of small and large G'Rabbit grinders (has ears that look like a rabbit and they were almost a kitchen "pet"). Very easy to use with one hand, but we managed to break the ears on one of the small ones, and both sizes were messy. Fast forward several years.... I have a pair of OXO salt and pepper grinders I really like, and OXO has several different styles available. The ones I have are at the Amazon link below. I purchased mine at K-Mart, on sale, for about half the Amazon price. You can easily change the coarseness of the grind with your thumb (5 choices of grind). They are easy to use if you have a small hand (with a nice soft grip), they don't take up much cabinet space and are easy to refill. Because they store with the grinder up, you don't have a mess where ever you store them. -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: OXO Salt Grinder
