Fair Exchange



 Our neighbour brought over a couple of large fish from his fishing trip the other day.  Husband M fortunately knows how to clean and gut them.  Other friends thought they might be freshwater drum fish.  I ended up baking them whole in the oven.

 Daughter L decided to bake chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing as pictured for his small grandchildren.  They were so excited.  

Fair exchange do you think?

And Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

Just have to say it: one's really sweet, the other one is kinda fishy. Linda in Kansas

The fish looks so fresh! Steamed or fried are all good :-)

Both the fish and the cupcakes look 'presentable'. Fair exchange indeed.

Here we live by a lake that gets stocked twice a month and we've never even tried fishing. I see so many people seeming to enjoy themselves sitting at the lake's edge fishing. anyway...nice exchange.

In India they are known as the Rani fish. Tasty but bony.

I could gut a fish if I had to, might be retching a bit while doing it but we would still be able to eat the fish

Sounds like a good exchange to me.
