Recipe(tried): Last night and tonight........

Last night was our first attempt at swordfish. We grilled it and served it with
corn on the cobs, steamed broccoli and "Ranch-Style" beans. I must say I am
impressed with swordfish! Tonight will be Red Beans and Rice, along with crusty
bread and a salad.

virtually boneless and taste much like incredibly tender pork fillets. * Exported from MasterCook *
