Lousy Weather, Rice Crispie Fish

The weather in our part of Canada is particularly miserable at the moment, dull, wet, cold. Spring I guess. Last night we had a humungous thunderstorm with lots of lightening and thunder. Sort of thing that usually comes with hot weather, not this miserable stuff. We didn't really go anywhere as we were waiting for the chair delivery which we were told would come between 10:50 and 2:50, honestly, a 4 hour window which turned out to be longer because they got a flat tire. However, it arrived and Matt is now happy after having ruined the love seat he used to sit on. I'm happy because the love seat was looking such a mess these days.

I just picked up a recipe from the Rice Crispies site. I would never have thought of using Rice Crispies to coat fish, but actually I thought this recipe looked very interesting. Particularly as there has been a lot in the news telling us how good almonds are for us and how, in one study, they fed a test group 2 oz almonds a day and they didn't gain weight.
