i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Day 18 we kept it simple. Finally tried these Polar brand kippers snacks that I’d been meaning to try. Served it on some rye crisps with some sour cream and olive tapenade. We ended up opening a can of Louisiana hot sauce fish steaks as a follow up. Both very tasty.

Day 17: Biriyani kit with Moroccan sardines. Quick, easy, tasty. Skipped the lentils and just doubled the biriyani. It’s blizzarding outside and we are staying cozy. Our orange whistles arrive soon from Chewy and we’re registered for verifier training. Hunkered down for the ice storm ahead.

Day 16: this was phenomenal. TJs squiggly pasta, some frozen spinach, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and Fishwife mackerel with chili. So good.

and by strong I mean saying “NO” and disengaging/walking away. She 100% learns from this and knows what she can get away with. She’s smart as hell and adores shrimpy treats.

2/2 so she had to be rehabbed from being abused and having her tail pulled so hard it dislocated and relocated. It took me 2 months to get her to calm down and she turned into a mush ball. She’ll need someone who can be VERY patient with her and give her strong feedback with commands when spicy.

Please share Shadow, a foster in need of a home from Nevada SPCA in Las Vegas.

Shadow is an amazingly sweet fluffball who loves REALLY hard. So hard that if you take her out of her home environment, she’ll skippety-bap you into next Tuesday.

It is impossible to properly calculate the depth and breadth of the courage and sacrifice of those prepared to confront white supremacy and assert their right to full citizenship.

We - and by that I mean ALL Americans - owe them a great debt. Rest in Peace & Power Claudette Colvin.

Day 13: kept it simple and broke out another one of the “fancy” tins. Second tin by this brand and equally delicious.

Whew. Day 12 was a winner. Smoked octopus. Japanese sweet potato bisque 🍠. A bunch of accoutrements. Freaking delicious.

Day 11: we are iterating on a theme here, mostly because it works. A smear of sour cream and mayo, some smoked wild kippers, capers, and a grating of cured egg yolk. Admittedly, the TJs smoked herring we had on Day 1 was tastier, and I liked that it was in oil. I’m guessing a lot cheaper too.

Day 10: we were out in the cold making our voices heard today. So treated ourselves with some fresh tagliatelle from Solo Pane, the rest of the anchovies dissolved in hot olive oil, toasted pecans, wilted arugula, and lemon sardines, with some Romano cheese and salsa macha.

Day 9, a Friday after a long first week back at work, was anchovies, used in martinis.

Day 8 was exhausting, so we kept it nice and simple… The Canned Sardine subreddit has *thoughts* about Fishwife brand, but I am loving trying these tins that we got in our gift pack.

Today is brutal. Day 7 of January: threw a can of razor clams into a batch of pasta, added butter, cream, cheese, and just self-soothed with carbs and tinned fish. Done in less than 15 minutes. Now time for bed.

It went on some winter veggie bisque with roasted/pureed honeynut squash, black futsu, rutabaga, and a package of Spanish Matiz brand roasted chestnuts from the pantry. I’m kicking myself for forgetting to add the rye crisps that I bought just for this soup…

Day 6: much more successful. Grabbed the first of the Fishwife tins from the very generous gift we received from a friend that visited recently. The smoked salmon was delicious. Dare I say buttery. Not overly smokey.

Day 5: so far the most disappointing, despite me saving this one for a while. Rillettes de langoustine with tiger nuts. I served it on some toasted focaccia. It was meh. Husband said it tasted like cat food. We’ve never actually eaten our cats’ food but it definitely smelled like it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Day 4 of Tinned Fish January: sardines in mustard sauce, on toast, with sliced pears, chili crisp, and dill, with a drizzle of maple syrup. It was better than I expected. Kind of reminded me of honey mustard pretzels.

Taking a break from the news to make some sardines on toast. Day 3 of Tinned Fish January… 🗓️ Sardines on toast with some ricotta and a few cured olives.

Day 2 dinner stayed on theme: arugula + spinach, more roasted rutabaga (it was a big rutabaga…), skipjack tuna from Bela, some Asian pear, and some pistachios. I dressed the root veg with some Dijon, sherry vinegar, and maple syrup while warming it. Added capers later. Wish I’d had Manchego to add.

Day 2: I repurposed some of yesterday’s Rancho Gordo black eyed peas, leftover rice, tossed in some roasted rutabaga and a handful of fresh spinach, then grabbed a tin of smoked mussels. It was very reminiscent of a Hoppin’ John with the smokiness. Big hit.
