Orange Roughy Recipe
I called up my mom for her orange roughy recipe. "What orange roughy recipe?" she said. Turns out, it's just her generic white fish fillet recipe: "Real simple. You just poach the fillets in a white wine sauce."
"Poached? ¿Qué?" I asked. We laughed at my cooking ineptitude. "Should I look that up in the dictionary then?" Heh. Poaching turns out to mean, put food in boiling liquid and ignore simmering until cooked. I can do that!
I thought I had some white wine, but I didn't. I substituted sherry (the good stuff, too, alas; couldn't find my cooking sherry). It was still yummy, so it looks like substituting sherry for white wine caused no harm.
