 RH> Practical jokes can be funny to the joker, but not to the victim.  

Sometimes I go way off topic and complain about how so much
humor is based on cruelty. Practical jokes being the worst, and
I seldom if ever indulge in such; sarcasm is pretty bad, though,
and I can be good at that, so I'm not Mr. Pure or anything.

 -> To me she seemed like a nice enough girl, and kind of cute,
 -> maybe a decade younger than he was (aha, there's the rub).
 RH> That'll do it. I was wondering why he'd put up with that sort of stuff.

She was kind of cute ... even so, if I had such a one and she'd
given me a zucchini shake or something, I would have considered
divorce or spousal abuse.

WHOLE ROASTED RED SNAPPER
serves 2

2 c mixed cubed eggplant, yellow squash, and zucchini
2 whole red snappers; 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds each
- scaled, gutted, and trimmed of spines and gills
;s&p
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh sage
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 wedges of lemon
3 lemons; juice of
3 limes; juice of
4 Tb white wine
4 Tb unsalted butter
1 plum tomato; seeded and diced
1 ts fresh sage; chopped
1 ts fresh oregano; chopped

Preheat oven to 300F. Spread vegetables across a baking
sheet, and bake until slightly tender, 20 min. Meanwhile,
rinse the fish with cool water and season the inside with
salt and pepper. In each fish, place sprigs of thyme,
sage, and rosemary; a garlic clove, and a wedge of lemon.

Remove vegetables to a medium saucepan, and reserve. Raise
temperature to 450F. Lightly oil the baking sheet that held
the vegetables, and place the fish on it. Roast the fish
for about 15 minutes, or until cooked to taste.

While fish is cooking, add juices and white wine to the
vegetables. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat, to reduce
liquid slightly. Add butter, tomato, sage, and oregano.

Serve the whole roasted fish topped with vegetable sauce.
Serve with roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables.
