Grouper with walnut and papaya

Sunday's wonderful lunch was another from Linda's famous walnut recipe box.  Grouper with walnut and papaya, along with yellow rice and Linda's perfect cole slaw.  The walnut and papaya marinade had a bit of honey and lemon.  The Orange beach grouper was from Crocodile Ed's Fish Market.  The only way it could have been better would be if we had caught the fish ourselves, and grilled it on the boat.  Even then, I'm not sure - because Linda probably wouldn't have joined us.

Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
