This thread has died, did I kill it?

I'm making cod loins tonight. I didn't even know cod had loins, but I guess chickens don't have fingers, either.

I'm planning on just baking them with a buttered crumb on top with panko. I'd like to herb it, too, but not overpower the fish. Any fish tips? Side dish suggestions? Sauces/etc?

I like fish as plain as possible usually, so I'm not down with any of those sauces.

When I eat fish, I tend to be on the lighter side, so I throw in some asparagus, or some other veggie, and maybe some red potatoes. Pretty simple!

You should have some beef on the side, so the men have something to eat as well.

I cook a lot more fish in the summer months, when I can do it slowly, over indirect heat on the grill. I tend to spice an marinate it well, and not worry about sauces. I also prefer to serve it with rice or orzo. Add some sugar snap peas, and some fresh fruit on the side, and I've got a chubby.

That's no shit. It was ok, and it was very meaty, but slightly over-done. It didn't look done, but it was over. I'm obviously not a very good fish cooker.

But the rest was really good, made some dirty brown rice with onions and teeny tiny bit of garlic/ginger puree, and buttered carrots as suggested.

For a first time try, I'd give it a B/B+.

I want to make something special for my girls because my wife is going to be out of town, I am thinking of doing a bacon wrapped meatloaf. My wife doesn't like meatloaf because she is crazy so I think I will do that and some string beans or something, and some chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing. Shit promises to be amazing.

I think it's the word "meatloaf" that scares many.

Just keep saying it over and over. It's kinda wierd.

"I'm gonna eat some meatloaf. A loaf of meat. A meatloaf"

I made a meatloaf once where I mixed up a regular meatloaf recipe, then rolled it out flat on a sheet of plastic. Then I added a layer of prosciutto, a layer of thin sliced mozzarella, and spread duxelle over it, rolled it jelly roll style, and wrapped it in puff pastry. It was fucking awesome. I need to do that again.

Kind of, yeah. That was sort of my original idea, but then the prosciutto and mozzarella got added in.
