Three Beautiful Things 03/22/16: Fish Stew, Ana Goes Dada, Back to the Gardens

1. You just marinate talapia in a mixture of lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper and let it sit for however long you want and then fry onion and bell pepper in olive oil in a pot until soft, dump the marinated fish into the pot, pour a can of diced tomatoes and a can of coconut milk over the top, let it simmer covered about 20 minutes until the fish is cooked and presto!: Brazilian Fish Stew. It's really good. (I fixed a pot today.) Do you want the recipe?  Just click here.
