Fish in a Packet
Back in the day, we used to enjoy fish-in-a-packet nearly once a week.
That was back when we were graduate students. We did not have much
money but still appreciated a good meal. It's been about five
years since the last time we did it and we don't know why we waited so
long.

- 1 1-inch piece ginger

- 1.5 pounds fish

The kids loved this meal. Not so much for the taste of the meal, which was different, and thus not as palatable as chicken fingers. Rather, they liked the meal because they made their own fish packets. Both got to pick and choose what ingredients to put on the fish. Robin handled the fish, but let the kids do whatever else they liked.
Still no baby. We've settled into a holding pattern here where it doesn't really feel like she'll be born anytime soon. Robin still has regular contractions, but nothing to the point that birth seems imminent. Maybe Chris will get his wish and the baby will be born on February 29th after all!
