Maureen: Fish Friday! And a recipe from none other than Pepper Potts!
Nicholas (10): Pepper Potts wrote a cookbook?
Maureen: No, not really. But Gwyneth Paltrow, the actress who played her, did. But she says she got the idea for this dish when she was filming Iron Man 3 in North Carolina. Since we just saw Iron Man 3 ourselves, I thought it appropriate that we give this a try. What do you think?
Nicholas: I like it.
Tim: This is great. I would definitely want to have this again.
Maureen: I was skeptical that I’d be able to find striped bass, but lo and behold, the fishmonger had it. I figured we’d have to have sea bass, but he had this.
Tim: It’s a nice fish. I think it’s always good to try different fish, as you know.
Maureen: You’re supposed to use gluten-free breadcrumbs for this, but that just seemed silly to me. First, because I’d have to track down some gluten-free breadcrumbs, which would probably be difficult, and second, because I think gluten-free breadcrumbs are a crime against food. I can understand it if you’re allergic to gluten, but since no one in this family is, we’re using the regular stuff.
Tim: Good idea.

[…] All Good,” which [GASP] I now know was FIVE years ago. Time flies. Anyhow, at the time, I sold the recipe to the boys by telling them it was from Pepper Potts, the character she plays in the Iron Man and Avengers films. This was so long ago that stating that […]
