Is there a better mix of cheese and fruit on a salad than gorgonzola mixed with sliced pears and chopped walnuts? Not really, ...

This is an easy recipe that my husband makes occasionally on weekends. Our neighbor just brought over some homemade raspberry syrup (thanks Steve!) and we thought this would be excellent on top of this [pancake]. Now this is not your ordinary pancake, but rather a puffy and egg like pancake. We cook it in our cast iron skillet and then slice it into "pizza" slices. I have to say, it is one of our favorite pancakes for sure. We have also substituted pears for apples or used a mix of apples and pears.

Last night my wife and I were looking for a good meal since we had the night off from the kids. I had bought some sea bass, a fish that we hadn't had in some time. It's Cathy's favorite. I prepared the fish by sprinkling it with paprika and s/p and then roasting it in olive oil, white wine and garlic. It was a very good meal and took only about 30 minutes total time. Just made a bag of brown boil-in-the-bag rice as a side.

Source: WikipediaHaving some friends over for dinner? Or maybe just in the mood for some great Ahi! Either way, this recipe is perfect and pretty simple to make in little time. That's why I enjoy preparing tuna when we have guests or need a quick fish dinner after work. From start to finish the tuna takes 20 minutes to prep and cook! Now how is that for those that are under a time crunch but want a great meal. Of course you'll have to steam rice and veggies (we prefer edamame) or your sides of choice, or maybe you just want to throw the tuna on some mixed greens with an Asian dressing. Either way have a glass of Chardonnay or for the full Asian experience go with some sake.
