Very late papaya update

I did the papaya challenge.  It's true.  The funny thing is that I made a salsa to put over fish ... salsa good, fish bad.  Which lead to the whole, whole fish thing.  It seems like something I should be better at.

Anyway, as for my papaya battle, the photos of my meal just left on a plane with my husband for nine days to Santa Fe.  So I can't show you my creations.  But I made the papaya avocado salad I made earlier.  It was really really good and I will make it again.  It was the dressing with lime and cayenne pepper that really made it.  Then I did a salsa - papaya, cucumber, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, lime and lime-infused olive oil - to go over my completely under-seasoned, over-cooked fish.  I had asparagus on the side dressed with the same lime-infused olive oil.  And then the meal ended with Papaya sorbet floating in a bath of Prosecco and topped with mint.  I had seconds of that.  Very refreshing.

I am excited for the whole fish challenge.  I've already talked to Eric at the fish counter.  I'm just not so sure which one to pick.

I am determined to get better at not only the cooking, but also the posting ...  I will steer clear of puns though.  That is a battle I would for sure lose to my sister.
