The link above takes you to Pan Seared Fish in Ginger Broth which was a real winner. I cut down on the sugar and the salt, used scallops instead of fish because the local supermarket didn't have any of the recommended fish or halibut, which I thought might work.

I have to confess (see prior post) that the house reeked for 24 hours after the cooking event. Curry is a very pervasive odor as is seafood.

I use Penzey's spices almost exclusively. www.penzeys.com They have curry powders of various heat, and I use a medium hot which means I have to be judicious in its use or we eat with a box of tissues on the table. Not necessarily a bad thing, but judicious is the operative word.

The vegetable broth tasted delicous and the scallops dredged in curry and cornstarch! Zowie! We ate a salad of red lettuce with orange segments and I also cooked a little rice to add to the broth when the scallops were history.

The recipe is in my "diet" file. If you're in diet mode, skip the rice.

Last night, in a rush to get into town we had grilled roast beef and provlone sandwiches. For some reason, roast beef and provlone is a dynamite combination. I first tasted it years ago in the Stride Rite Cafeteria in Kendall Square.

Now I am really off to the gym.
