lazy sunday supper, when you don't feel like cooking or dining out

You may not be lazy at all, you may be busy as heck, working on week-end projects, or playing with children, playing with pets. I know you can fill in the blanks. It goes by fast, doesn't it? I like this combo. You don't have to thaw anything, meaning you don't have to think ahead. You will get a serving of fish, so good for you. I like to accompany the patties with Alice Waters' mayonnaise-less coleslaw. This slaw is light and has a clean, fresh taste. I know it would be excellent on a pulled pork sandwich, or other sandwich of your choice. Enjoy!
