You like it. I knew it. comment icon 64 more comments Better question: how do you feel about Lost? As in the TV show Lost that came out 8 years ago that I just started watching last week, in 2013. I’ve always said I didn’t want to watch it because of the plane crash. I get weird about plane crashes. The real ones, the in-my-mind ones, the Hollywood ones, all of em. Like every time I’m in airplane, I think about that scene with Tom Hanks in Castaway that I watched in middle school. Where the plane crashes. But yeah, for sure! Let’s watch a TV show based entirely around a plane crash. This is what living in a foreign country does to my reasoning. This is not the first time I’ve fallen in love with a show 15 years after the fact. In our early married years, it was Jack Bauer and 24. We only ever watched it in the summer at the cabin, which necessitated at least 200 episodes per night. Then there was The Office. We started at Season One and worked our way through the whole thing over the course of a year, only a decade late. I cried and felt sad for an unnaturally long time after the end of Michael’s last episode. We’ve considered restarting the whole series and watching it all again but that’s not weird, right? I’ve been known to watch the Biggest Loser, alone, while skipping the gym, and I may or may not have attended Biggest Loser parties involving large amounts of deep dish chocolate chip cookies and such. I mad crushed on Prison Break for every second of Season One but then things started to get personal when Season Two was set in prisons abroad. Crush = over. And then there was Downton Abbey. And by Downton Abbey, I mean sleeping. Honestly. This healthy sweet and sour fish is my new favorite healthy take-out kinda dinner, even though that has nothing to do with TV. Sweet and sour fish was served at our school Christmas party this year, and I don’t know if I had never tried it? or if I’ve just always been a little shy of fishy Asian dishes? But whoa. It was so addicting. Is it a Filipino thing? I don’t even know. Doesn’t even matter. I decided not to fry the fish, therefore making it “healthy”, but check out that first picture! THE FISH WAS AMAZING. Not deep fried, just lightly spiced with cumin and cayenne, and sauteed with some olive oil and onions. It was so soft and delicate, but still perfectly golden browned on the outside, almost like a super light and fake deep fry. Ohhhk. Yes. In the name of healthy, I also added extra veggies cause all those vitamins are good for my TV-loving body. Served over a pile of steamy brown rice and garnished with a little extra chili garlic sauce and some sesame seeds? I need healthy to taste good, and this.tastes.good. Leftover lunches? Done and done. Microwave broken and had to eat it cold? True story. But that won’t happen to you. See? I knew you guys liked fish. 5 from 2 reviews
