It has been two months since my last post. I’m doing my best to not sink too deeply into the darkness but I must come clean and admit to ordering out way too much this summer and eating mini milky-ways with reckless abandon *crosses myself*. Normal blog operations will resume as soon as we finish moving, I catch up with work, and regain a modicum of common sense. Infinite Hail Marys and three knocks on wood.
In in the meantime, please buy 1 lb black cod, and marinate it overnight in 1/2 cup of sake, 2 tb white miso paste, 1 tb ginger juice, and 1 1/2 ts sugar. Sear on both sides in a screaming hot non-stick pan for a few minutes and serve with citrus ponzu. I promise this will melt in your mouth and render you helpless against it’s savory ways. Oh wicked fish!

i must say i’m drooling at this meal. welcome back!
That looks stunning, Aria! If i find black cod here, i shall obey your wishes…
Welcome back! Black cod with miso is one of my favorite things. And I just bought a bottle of Ponzu for my pantry.
How delicious does that look? All is forgiven!
What a great swimmimg pool! That fish looks terribly good! Drool drool…
Cheers,
Rosa
I’ve missed you! Glad to see you’re back and life is…well, ok. Moving is hell.
Yay! You’re alive!
Also, yum. Have the miso, have ginger, need the sake and fish.
Hi Aria!
I was so happy when I saw your comment on post. It’s great to have you back! Moving. Ugh. I’ll knock on wood a few times for ya too.
wow gorgeous swimming pool is in your back yard? moving is the pits not for sissies
A few things.
1. Thank god, you are human. Often, a two month break from blog-writing seems like a good idea:). It is normal, and I hope you enjoyed it more than feeling guilt:)
2. If that pool photo has anything to do with sinning? I recommend sinning… and will put on my suit promptly to join you.
All is well, fall is on the way. We all have chapters in our lives, and ups and downs with writings.

Good to see you’re back Aria! We all need some time off because we’re only human as Janelle said.
Love the recipe, sure looks like simplicity at its best!
ooo ooo me! i want to be rendered helpless by cod that is melting in my mouth!
btw, is that a picture of your new back yard?!? if so, can i invite myself over!
LOL Aria! I’m glad to see you making a move back in the blogging direction.
And moving? You DESERVE to eat as many milky ways as you want. Moving requires it.
Yes, miso cod is to-die-for. Now what’s the scoop about that swimming pool?
Oooh! This miso fish is so yummy! I have made one before without sake. I think with your addition of sake, it must taste better!
well it’s about time.

I appreciated the act of contrition very much. However, I absolve you w/no penance required.
Heavens! Is that *your* pool? No wonder you’re not blogging! Ha ha. Your cod sounds dreamy and I must try it soon, because I love all those flavors.
Smashing photos as always.
Simple beautiful fish!
Did you catch them fresh from the pool? ;p
Oooh! That fish looks heavenly! No need for penance then
Hope you come back soon. I do miss your post.
Aria, I hope the move went well! Are you still eating milky ways? I hope you blog again soon. I just came back from being off for ages. Hope everything is good with you!!
Wow! sounds delicious…snapshots are gorgeous.
