Orange Filet Of Tilapia en Papillote
I took a class at the Viking Cooking School nearby and learned several techniques for cooking fish. This is one of them which i just made. Its tilapia with carrots, zucchini, orange zest & juice. The whole things is sealed up in a parchment pouch and baked to perfection. it comes out very aromatic, moist and tasty. I had a few problems but overall rather tasty. A little brown rice and sauteed mushrooms completed the dish.

Crystal was coaxed into trying some of Kevin’s crawfish platter at lunch today. Crystal has a natural aversion to anything with more than 6 legs so she dislikes shrimp and crawfish etc.. (she says it’s because of a scene from the Little Mermaid).

So this is video evidence of her trying a small fried crawfish with a remoulaude sauce.
