I found a dinosaur

I found this on the street just in front of our house last week. Either it got run over during the rainstorm the night before, or the cats claimed another victim.

Max and Mina’s Fish and Chips

Uncle Andreas got us a bottle of malt vinegar, so we decided to make beer batter and fry up some fish. Unfortunately, the local Makro didn’t have much of a fish selection, so we settled on (ahem!) Issan cod.

Max and Mina did most of the prep, and I was on fry duty.

Today’s cooking vocabulary included: Deboning, scaling, pin bones, fins, gills, gutting, ounces, even spoonful, heaping spoonful, all purpose flour, sodium bicarbonate, sifting, dredging, frying oil, and fire extinguisher.
