Dinner Experiment

I got creative tonight. Inspired by a www.poorgirleatswell.com post, I tried my hand at creating poached tilapia instead of just sauteing it in butter or oil. She recommended poaching in white wine or vegetable broth, but having neither, I used water with salt and dried herbs (thyme, garlic powder & parsley). Once the pan was boiling, I put in the tilapia until it started flaking.

I also steamed some broccoli in the microwave by cutting off the florets (saving the stalk for another salad), putting some water in the container, setting a lid partway on top and microwaved for two minutes. Perfect! I can't remember the last time I had steamed broccoli.

To top it off, I opened a can of pineapple (canned with real juice, not syrup). I used 1/2 the juice to dilute with water; that's my beverage, and dumped 1/3 of the can on my plate.

Eating it now, the tilapia is surprisingly delicious, and broccoli is awesome, and the pineapple... well, it's pineapple. Always good.
