A Evening At The Beach

 
 
 
 

It was a perfect sunset! The water was exactly the temperature I remembered. Growing up along the Mississippi Gulf Coast has provided me with a lifetime of pleasant memories - including this quiet stretch of beach across from the new location of the White Caps Restaurant, a favorite of my parents back in the 60's!

What a beautiful beach - great photos. I love the FL gulf coast, but have never been to the Mississippi coast.

I hope you will go visit. There are 26 miles of accessible beach.
You park and your toes hit the sand.

As a little girl I crossed the highway with my sister to fish, crab, and play in the wonderful sand.

After all those years, I put my toes in the water and I was instantly transported back to those simple times!

The warm water was familiar and the gentle breeze smelled exactly as I remembered it.

Artist-Walter Anderson

    Make time for the Walter Anderson Museum, an eccentric artist whose work has been labeled "intense and evocative". A daily ritual of rowing twelve miles to an isolated barrier island provided Anderson the opportunity to paint and draw the island's vegetation, birds, animals and insects. Stunning water colors and intricate patterns allow a glimpse into the lonely mind of a brilliant artist. Located on the main street of charming Oceans Springs, Mississippi.

Parrot Fish

Asian-style Parrot Fish Dark soy, sesame oil mixed with a little olive oil, freshly-grated ginger and garlic! Yum. A little chopped green onion and blood orange. Yes! One of my last blood oranges was squeezed for a citrus marinade that made for a nicely-flavored and springlike taste! I might be rushing the seasons a little but this easy recipe would certainly be good anytime of the year! The Parrot Fish has a nice firm texture with lots of flavor. The bones were easily removed from the meat and so the yield is very good. I grilled the fish on the infrared for about eight minutes and finished it off in a very hot oven! Definitely worth a try!
