Not! I have several reports due next week, and I desire to finish them early. As for cooking, this week has been quite busy, so I find Friday the only time I can actually cook.
I went to Ralphs and purchased Pacific red snapper because it was on sale. One fillet was only $1.60! I should consume more seafood often. When I got back to my apartment, I had the idea that I should poach the snapper and conjure up a beurre blanc sauce. Just like how the French do it, or how Julia Child would. Because I had some leftover mushrooms and basil, I decided to add my own twist to the sauce.
