I’ve been cooking up a storm this week. On Sunday, well Saturday actually, my husband was talking with one of our friends and he invited him over for dinner on Sunday. Suddenly my husband is going out and buying fish to grill on the barbecue.
My husband really doesn’t eat fish, but our friend does, so I thought that perhaps our friend had suggested grilling fish. Nope. it was my husband.
You see, he’s been with me to several of my appointments with my pain doctor and lately she’s been suggesting that I try a macrobiotic diet because that’s supposed to help with pain. I’m still looking for some good information on macrobiotic diets but I do know that fish can sometimes be a large component of this diet.
I think my husband was thinking of that when he of all people suggested we have fish for dinner. I like fish but I’ve always had trouble getting him to eat it, so I either cook it for myself and cook him something else, or more often, I just don’t cook fish at all.
On Sunday evening we had grilled halibut, steamed asparagus and a tossed salad. We enjoyed the meal so much that on Tuesday night we had grilled lemon pepper catfish, grilled potatoes and veggies, and a tossed salad.
I took photos of our meals as I prepared them, as we cooked them, and right after they were served. I think I’ll write up some posts with the recipes for the fish and my grilled potatoes and veggies. I think some of you will like them.
Hey, Tricia, I haven’t heard too much about macrobiotic diets before, I am glad that you wrote about them. I have a plate and 5 screws (well, 4.5 because one of them is cracked!) in my left foot so I am always looking for ways to alleviate the pain.
I am sure you already know this but, my doctor told me that Aleve was a great anti-inflammatory for pain and that they were safe to take (daily if needed). I will have to do some research on some macrobiotic diets, it sounds interesting (and those meals you described sound delicious!). And, please do share some recipes, I’m always looking fro new ones.

p.s. Thanks for more of your kind words about Wallhogs, we really appreciate it, Tricia.
I love cooking!
A friend of mine practices the macrobiotic diet. Several years ago I bought a book on the topic in some ways it’s similar to vegetarians with the exception that those who follow the macrobiotic lifestyle do eat some animal meat.
