Kasu Black Cod with Ginger Carrot Stir-Fry and Black Bean/Corn Relish

Stir Fry Rice Noodles with a Coconut Milk/Peanut Sauce

The stitches were taken out yesterday on my pointer finger and middle fingers. After being told it wouldn’t hurt when they cut the stiches out (it did, so much pain) and a few hours after I left the doctor’s office my middle finger started bleeding again (joyous day)…..I was not in the mood to make […]
