  1. We had this for dinner tonight and are feeling stuffed but very happy. I used Mean Chef's recipe for the stock, and cod, scallops, one fillet of mystery fish and two smallish squids in the soup itself. One thing that it would be nice to have clarified is whether the amounts of fish are before or after cleaning. I think I overestimated the amount of fish, even though I was trying to make only half a recipe. We won't have any trouble finishing it up, though, it's delicious. Thank you for the recipe, Evelyn.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
