Sardines and tomatoes. - joneworlds@mailbox.org Well now that most of the fish are extinct, sardines are the only ones I can still get cheap in a can. But that's okay, because I like 'em. Sure, my kids side-eye me and mutter about me being stinky and hold their noses as obviously as they can, but they don't even know what they're missing. I would always eat sardines mashed on toast with vinegar, but here's a different way: Clean one can of sardines, squeeze juice from half a lemon over them. Combine pinch of salt, some pepper, 1/4 tsp cayenne powder, 1/2 tsp dry basil, 1/2 tsp dry thyme, 1/2 tsp onion powder, a chopped up garlic clove. Sprinkle all that over the lemony sardines. Chop about 4 sun-dried tomatoes from the jar into small bits, to make 2 tbsp. Distribute that and about 1 tbsp of capers on top of the seasoned sardines. All done, eat it.
