how to say I'm sorry...

Let's face it, being in a relationship can be great but may not always be blissful. There are  days when you don't agree with each other, you’re not on the same page or may even have offended the other, you get my drift? Oh yes, as John Gray properly puts it, "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus".

So how do you say you're sorry?

Well I guess it differs from one relationship to another, from one person to the next. I know when my hubby is upset with me. But instead of worrying about what to say or how to say I'm sorry, I let my food do the work for me. You know the saying "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach”, I take this literally. I prepare a sumptuous dish, or even just an appetizer, and I am confident I can get my hubby to forget what he was upset about - it's a done deal.  I am not a psychologist but trust me, after being married for more than 20 years, I have mastered this trick... and remember this only works when you are the one who is saying I'm sorry... if it was his fault, then ...err ahh… that's a different story. Perhaps a blue box could appease you?  hint, hint.  


Next time you need to say I'm sorry, try to make this appetizer and let me know if the magic works for you too.

Bacon Strapped Halibut


I got the inspiration of this recipe online. Actually some recipes called for prosciutto, while others had bacon.  So I selected bacon and this is my take.

Ingredients:

2 lbs. halibut cubed

1 pack bacon

lemon

salt

pepper

lemon zest

fresh basil leaves

Procedure:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Season halibut with lemon, salt, pepper and zest.  Wrap each cube with basil and bacon.  Secure with a toothpick.

Bake for about ten minutes.  Put on broil for another five minutes, to give get that crunchy bacon.
