Stephanie Camello Suggests Friday Fish Dishes for Lent (#2 on 2/26/21 - Pasta Camello with Tilapia and Salad)

It's the second Friday in Lent already and that means you get your second Friday Fish Dish recipe! This is a recipe Stephanie Camello is very fond of. It's her grandmother's recipe that she loves eating and she thinks you'll love it too.

This is an entire meal that starts with "Pasta Camello," then tilapia then finishes with a light salad. 

Put olive oil covering the bottom of the skillet and add 4 cloves of chopped garlic and cook until it sizzles. Then add peeled and diced Roma tomatoes (about 12 for a pound of pasta). Now start smashing the tomatoes down using the back side of a spatula to desired consistency. Add capers, salt to taste, fresh basil leaves and pine nuts. Add as much or as little as you want! Stir it all in then put this sauce on the pasta once it's done cooking. Spaghetti tastes best with this sauce.

Fish time! This is pretty easy because you just need to buy a few pieces of tilapia and cook it on the skillet for 10 minutes. The topping is a blackened dry rub of your choice. Cook a few minutes, flip it and cook another few minutes, then it's done!

Lastly is the salad. This is easier than everything else because you can just buy some packaged salad or clean some fresh iceberg or endive. Stephanie Camello's grandmother would use some freshly washed endive and dressed it with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a little salt and pepper. Toss it and it's good to go!

Add a nice fruit after the meal if you so choose and you'll end the day with happy taste buds on this second Friday of Lent.

Buon appetite! Let me know in the comments how it turned out and if you liked it or loved it!

The Evolution of Recorded Music

Let's Take a Look at the Evolution of Recorded Music! Before electricity was invented and used, all music created by composers had to be written down on paper using a quill and ink. They had to document every single note that was to be played (on instruments like piano, violin, harp, etc.) with great detail about the time signature, the speed and tone in which it needed to be played! Often times there was only one or two copies of sheet music, so it's a wonder how all those amazing composition from Mozart and Vivaldi and the like all made it to us today! Good record keeping I guess! 1877: Phonograph on wax cylinders 1890's: Gramophone on large discs 1920's: AM/FM radio frequency 1930's: Magneto phone electronic recording (magnetic tape recording) 1948: Vinyl records created 1960's: 4-track and 8-track cartridge tapes created, while vinyl was heavily purchased until the 1980's 1970's: Cassettes/Walkman created, used until the 1990's 1980's:

Stephanie Camello Compiles the Origins of U.S. State Names

Alabama - Native American Choctaw name meaning “vegetation gatherer.” Alaska - Aleut language translates “Alaska” to “the object toward which the action of the sea is directed.” Arizona - Spanish word “Arizonac” which has origins from the Native American O’odham tribe’s word meaning “small spring.” Arkansas - The French pronunciation of the Quapawa Indians word for which the Algonquin tribe referred to as “akansa.” The French pronunciation was “Arcansas.” The reason we don’t say the “S” is because on an 1881 act passed by the state to solve a dispute between two senators who disputed over the pronunciation. We now pronounce it the French way with the silent “S.” California - The name of an island in a Spanish 16th Century novel for which the Spanish explorers named the land they thought was an island. Turns out it was what we think of today as the state of California! Colorado - Named after the C
