Culinary Memory #8: Grilled Halibut and Couscous

Not only was this a delightful meal, the newly acquired friends who prepared it for us made it truly a culinary memory! Dwight Martin grilled fresh caught halibut AND ling cod while Carole made a side dish of couscous with corn and zucchini mixed in. (yum!) Fresh sliced tomatoes were sprinkled with olive oil and basil. This way my kind of meal! I contributed to the meal by bringing rhubarb cobbler.

I met Carole online when I discovered her travel blog telling about their planned trip to the Kenai. I instantly was drawn to this couple just by the tone of her blog and the pictures of what looked like a VERY friendly pair. Through the internet we arranged a meeting soon after we arrived in Kenai. Our second visit took place at their camper at the Solid Rock Bible Camp where they were volunteering as part of "Sowers" (Servants On Wheels Ever Ready to Serve).
Dwight and Carole made us they wonderful meal and gave us a tour of the camp; a truly amazing place! The highlight of the night was learning Carole's story as a missionary to Columbia for seventeen years. We eagerly received a transcript of her autobiography and devoured it that night! Meeting Dwight and Carole was not by chance. God brought them to us to bless our lives just by our chance meeting. The following day Carole accompanied us on a wonderful day to Homer.



These two pictures were actually taken in our 5th wheel as I did not take pictures in their bumper pull that night. We had added pleasure in having them over for a meal in Steward as their frig was on the fritz. They brought their own spoons! That was to rib us about the fact that we were short on spoons previously when they had come. We had not been prepared for entertaining while traveling! Linda, what were you not thinking? Of course, I'd entertain in a pup tent! And yes, indeed, we entertained numerous times on that trip.
