early dinner

[thoreau]

Dave wants to go see Avatar this evening - so I made dinner early. Sweet and sour halibut with tomatos, fresh crab cakes and wild rice. The sauce is out of my new cookbook purchase "200 30-Minute Meals" and was quite wonderful.

Sweet and Sour for Fish:
1/4 cup water, 1 1/2 tablespoons pomegranate vinegar, 1 whole scallion, sliced thin, plus the green parts of 2 scallions, sliced thin, 1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil,and 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

Leo and Mike gifted us the pomegranate vinegar back when at the spouse-warming party back in July - and I LOVELOVELOVE IT!
