Finally used a gift card for dinner that I received from the school board.

Bonefish Grill was one of the choices and since I do like my fish ...

Well, truth be told I was not interested in cooking that night to start with so .....

Their special that night had two ingredients that I like but have not had in centuries ... or is that decades ... I mean years.

Feta cheese and artichokes ...

Tis an involved recipe and most likely not cheap to make but man was it ever delicious.
