Hello fellow foodies... Here are a few shots from our WholeFoods Cod Cake dinner the other night which I thought you would like... This photo shows the table setting....

Just a test message...........please ingore []

Hello again Rippy, thanks for the reply... Yes, I noticed the augmented upper shelf area. GOOD use of that space for your needs [Y] WOW, NINE years ??? Didn't realize they had been out that long. Bought mine in 2009, thought it was a brand new product. Well, I guess its been a great rack, so it is having a long production life... Best Regards, Gary

Hey there Rippyman! Yours is a GREAT looking room, and one of a fine collection of rooms that are VERY well thought out and CLEAN on this forum [] FINALLY, someone that has the SAME audio rack that I have in my theater! It is very straight forward, not outrageously priced and has a PIANO gloss finish [Y] (not to mention solid as a rock)... This one here even survived a FLOOD...... only one leg took in water like a spunge the first 5", but you really don't see it in a darkened theater, so I elected NOT to preplace it... Shown here in the newly rebuilt (after flood) theater... Enjoy... ..........Gary

GREAT BOXX! I am excited about your fish dish and look forward to the photos. I would feel free to use the Klipsch uploader if you are comfortable with it (as I am here)... Be checking back again later.... I leave about 6:00pm. for the setup - soundcheck, so I would not see your postings until Sunday morning, or, evening if you elect to do up your dish tomorrow night. It will be a simple from scratch pasta for us tomorrow night. Photos for SURE, not to mention another new WINE from Laithwaites [Y] Have fun in that beautiful kitchen [H] ........Gary

In this photo, our VINO selection for this dish, of course, we didn't think about a bottle of white, but we are such RED wine lovers that we sometimes miss the chance to include a fine white.... maybe next time ? Thanks so much for the compliments on the photos, and for stopping by..........more to come soon. Anyone else ? Lets see some of your Fine Food [] ........Gary

Now, a closeup for you all of the plate... []

Our table setting... [] Also included, a nice slaw from Whole Foods, both hot and cold on the plate... Fresh lemon and parsley too!

The portions are cut, and ready to plate ... !

Fish on the grill !

Hey! Its Chris doin' the grillin' ! Note one of NINE illuminated hanging plants in the background. Soon I will include some nice deck photos, both at dusk and after dark []

Into the cage, while the natural gas grill is heating up to temp [Y]

Here, side TWO of the fish is put in the fresh garlic, EVOO and broad leaf parsley marinade...

While the fish settles in with the mixture, we are having a little nosh of FRENCH olives, veggie salad and nice cheese to accomp. the old standby, along with pickled chili peppers, a dish of whole garlic cloves and hot peppers.....................................here's the shot.... This will be continued later.....................so please stand by and check in again for the full photo essay, thanks so much, check back often! All best wishes... ...........Gary

The fish is now cleaned and being settled into a marinade LOADED with fresh garlic along with other good things! []

Some cool water to rinse the fish a bit...

The fish itself fresh from the packaging....

Hello fellow FOODIES! Well, I know its been a while, but tonight, we are celebrating the opening of the deck "Kitchen". So, lets illumiate the 90 watt halogen floodlights over the grill, and start the grillin' !!! [Y] But first, lets view the photos in order of their occurance [] Here, the ingredients INLCUDING the garlic / fresh parsley / in EVOO with red sea salt, fresh ground pepper.... This along with the fine Sword Fish from Whole Foods...

Sliced Portabella mushrooms..... HA! I guess it worked []

Thanks so much everyone for all of your kind compliments on the new gas 'range' ... It certainly is different seeing a blue flame in the kitchen, but, getting used to it [] OH, I actually wanted to know the difference between a stove and a range, found some interesting differences why they have different terminology... Here is what I found... Originally, a stove was something you heated with...[] A KITCHEN stove is what you cook with...[] A range is what you cook with when you have FIVE burners or more... [Y] (as GE calls them as well) I found it interesting anyway. Happy cooking everyone, more to come ! ............Gary

Finally, our vino selection for the evening.... Enjoy.... More dinners to come, so stay tuned []

A closeup of the plating....
