For Christmas my loving children gave me a very nice covered wok in which we'll be doing stir-fry and other dinners.
Last night, however, we discovered an unanticipated use: popping real popcorn.
While walking by the large mirrored bedroom cabinet that holds our sweaters and other garments, I spied the corner of an unfamiliar dark object on top. I reached up and pulled down an old framed picture that had been gathering dust for several years.
My wife called me from her office. "What do you want for dinner? I'll stop at the store on the way home." I thought a moment and replied, "Steelhead Trout is on sale at Safeway."
Instead of looking in any of our cookbooks, I went online and googled "steelhead trout," scanned the options, and chose a recipe .
