Fish soup. Reminds me. Last night at Llewelyn's (the Irish pub) Sarah's boyfriend got fish pie! He LOVES food, is a great cook, and will try anything. I had shepard's pie, Mom had corned beef and cabbage, Sarah had salad (of course) and he got FISH PIE! I was like WHOA! But it smelled wonderful. Thick, fish on the bottom, veggies, mushrooms, spinach and covered in mashed potatoes and broiled lightly. He said it was excellent!

Vietnamese Coffee
((I'm addicted to this stuff))

1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk, room temperature
3 tablespoons medium-fine French-roast coffee
3/4 cup hot water, just boiled

Pour the milk into a tall glass. Filter coffee into glass through a stainless steel filter. To brew, remove filter screen and lid. Add ground coffee, replace screen, tightening the screw.

Pour in a small amount of water. Wait 20 seconds, loosen screw a little. Fill filter basket with water. Cover with lid and let water seep through filter. Remove filter, either stir the coffee and milk together or drink it black and white. Can be served over ice.

As seen in Food and Wine Magazine. This traditional one cup coffee filter is an icon in many asian restaurants. The single cup slow drip filter infuses the coffee with the full flavor and fragrance of the coffee's oils. Comes in 3 pieces: stainless steel body, lid, and removeable screw type screen. To make coffee, remove lid and screw out the upper screen. Put in the coffee (3 to 4 teaspoons). Tighten the screw moderately. Pour in a little boiling water to fill about 1/4 of the coffee filter. Wait for about 20 to 30 seconds. Undo the screw down screen a couple of turns. Refill with boiling water and replace the lid. Easy cleaning dishwasher safe durable stainless steel construction. Cup is not included.
