Marinated Dogfish (Cazon en Adobo)
Marinade was historically used as a method of food preservation, but little by little over time, with the arrival of refrigerators to preserve food, marinades became used only as a method of imparting flavor to food before it was cooked. This recipe is typical throughout the province of Cádiz, but it is eaten in Seville everywhere you go, so much, that there is not a single bar in Seville that doesn’t have this dish on its menu. There they call it "Pescaito en adobo” or “Fish in marinade". It is a very easy recipe to prepare and is very delicious. Let’s get to the recipe.
by Pilar Ruiz Text/US measures collaborated w/ Glenn Ferguson You can find more of her recipes at comomegustacocinar.blogspot.com
INGREDIENTS: * 1lb 2oz (1/2 kilo) of Dogfish or Soupfin Shark fillets * Dried Oregano * Ground Cumin * 1/2 Cup Sherry wine vinegar * 1/2 Cup Water * 4 cloves of garlic * Flour
F u
PREPARATION: * First season the slices of fish with salt and pepper. * Arrange fish fillets on the bottom of a dish and season with 1 Tbsp oregano and 1 Tbsp cumin. * Repeat, adding another layer of fish slices on top and again season them with oregano and cumin. Use 1 Tbsp oregano and 1 Tbsp cumin per layer. * Now we are going to prepare a marinade mixture in the mortar with the cloves of garlic, the wine vinegar and water. Then we pour this over the fish and ensure you cover everything. * We will cover now the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in a fridge for about three hours. * After this time, we are going to drain fish fillets, then coat them well in flour and fry them in a frying pan. They are ready to eat. We really hope you have a very nice week and, of course, don`t forget to enjoy it very much.

oday, seventy-five years ago, my father - Tech. Sergeant Manuel Saenz Ávila U.S.Army- was a young 23-year old soldier who was nervously standing-by for one of the greatest operations of World War II. That operation is simply remembered as D-Day. Although he did not participate in the D-Day assault, he was a member of the troops that followed and who fought their way through Belgium and France in order to eventually liberate Europe from Nazi occupation. He never did want to talk much about his experience in that war. The D-Day operation that took place on June 6th, 1944, was the largest amphibious assault in military history and it took place on the beaches of Normandy, on the northern coast of France. At that time, D-Day was a term used in the military to mean the actual day that a major operation or event occurred or began. The days leading up to D-Day were referred to as a countdown toward that day, for example: “D minus 3, D minus 2, etc.” The days after D-Day were referred to as a cumulative count afterwards, for example: “D plus 1, D plus 2,” etc. Many people think D-Day stands for Decision Day, but it does not. The first letter is just to show the importance of the day. The amphibious assault on Normandy was codenamed Operation Overlord. The Allied forces (including British, Canadian, and American troops) landed on several Normandy beaches all at once. Allied casualties, excluding the wounded, were 4,414 confirmed dead. Approximately two months later, after very difficult fighting and the loss of many more lives, the Allied forces were able to liberate France

172 acres, and contains the remains of 9,387 American military dead, most of who were killed during the D-Day assault and military operations which followed. Included, are graves of Army Air Corps crew members that were shot down over France as early as 1942, as well as those of three female American service-members. Only some of the soldiers who died overseas, however, are buried in the overseas American military cemetery. When it came time for a permanent burial, the next of kin eligible to make decisions were asked if they wanted their loved ones repatriated for permanent burial in the U.S., or interred at the closest overseas cemetery. Many were repatriated and buried on U.S. soil. The names of 1,557 Americans who lost their lives in the Normandy campaign but could not be located and/or identified are inscribed on the walls of a semicircular garden at the east side of the memorial. The Memorial faces the United States at its nearest point to the cemetery; a point between Eastport and Lubec in the State of Maine. I hope to someday visit this site in France, in order to try and understand the immensity of the sacrifice made by thousands of my fellow Americans. In doing so, I also hope to honor the memory of my father who lived with the scars of that war for the rest of his life. He subsequently was designated as a Disabled Veteran and was awarded a 100% disability rating for the injuries that he suffered in combat after D-Day. “Thanks Pop! As an American, I thank you for fighting for freedom and as a former service-member I salute you for your courage.Tech. Sergeant Ávila, U.S. Army, I promise you that you will not be forgotten this June 6th, 2015.”
