Shark anyone?

This is by no means a traditional dish, but while fishing this weekend during the Warrior's Weekend in Port O'Connor, Clint caught a bull shark! It was filleted for him, and we brought it home. I have never made shark before, but I thought I would put up the recipe I found and used for it just in case someone has or finds someone who needs a shark recipe.
Something I would change unless you like super salt taste, would be to cut down on the soy and garlic salt. I did use garlic powder as well, because I didn't have enough onion powder. It was an excellent starter recipe though. Just something to play around with I think!

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

I enjoy rhubarb and had it on several occasions while at our family place in Canada, along with blueberry pie (my favorite!). I had a friend make me a strawberry rhubarb pie a couple years ago, and I loved it. I found this recipe and hope to make it again soon.

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 pound fresh rhubarb, chopped
• 2 pints fresh strawberries
• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, mix flour and sugar. Add strawberries and chopped rhubarb. Toss with sugar and flour and let stand for 30 minutes.
3. Pour filling into pie crust. Dot top with butter, and cover with top crust. Seal edges of top and bottom crust with water.
4. Apply yolk to top of pie, using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut small holes in top to let steam escape.
5. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and brown. Cool on rack.

My husband had his wisdom teeth out, and ended up having to have surgery to close the hole that went into his sinus because it was causing him pretty extreme pain. This is one of the first meals he's been able to eat since he got them out! I changed it up a little bit from the original, but not much.

1 1/2 cup brocolli, cut
1 red bell pepper
1 (10 ounce) tub of Philadelphia Savory Garlic cooking creme
2 cups cooked fettuccine or your favorite pasta

Directions
1. Boil water, add pasta and cook to your likeness.
2. Cook and stir chicken in a large non stick skillet until done. Add veggies; cook 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add cooking creme; stir and cook for 3 minutes.
4. Stir in pasta and serve while warm.
