    Here's another of my favourites I first made after having it in a sit
    down restaurant. Of couse these days I buy this from my local fish
    shop (Robert's Seafood - since 1916) as it's very good and lots
    Title: Baked Stuffed Flounder

    Cramped tiny kitchen is something I know about. :) I'll give this a
    shot when I close up the tin can for the winter. I /could/ do it here
    as I do have a nice electric oven that works a treat (gas stove and
    oven broken and won't spend the money to fix propane lines). Picked up
    a camping stove for the burner. Honestly haven't missed the big stove this year, as I tend to use teh BBQ a lot here since I don't have one
    at home. (Apartment living)

    No balcony? I used to (fifty or more years ago) hve a sixth floor place
    which had a balcony. A small charcoal grill fit just fine. And I learned
    early on not to use charcoal lighter fluid (lots of smoke t clean off of
    the landlord's walls and ceiling. I used a wire carrier and would start
    the briquettes on the gas burner of the stove - then carry them out to
    the BBQ.

    Made this last night for a family meal at my brother's house. Then cam
    home and ordered their cookbook from Amazon UK.

    Oh, i know it says 3 ears of fresh sweet corn. Screw that. I used corn
    niblets from the freezer - thawed. Fresh cilantro is always available at
    my local stupormarkups. Bv)= There were no leftovers and I had to
    e-mail the recipe to my sister-in-law, my niece, and her older son.

    This is 2024 Dave. Yes we have a balcony, if you BBQ on it you will
    not only be evicted but the fire department and police are called and
    while I"m not 100% sure, I'm pretty sure the fines and or jail time would
    make it not worth while. :)

    I can have an electric BBQ.... Sorry but at that point why bother?

    You've sold me on moving this to the front of the totry database. ;)

    My place had the balcony built out from the buildig rather than inset.
    So there was no roof or nearby combustibles to worry about. Many of the
    tenants did as I did and "cooked out" on the deck.

    Especially as they have match-light charcoal now-a-days.

    Just a thought - could you get away with one of those table top hibachi
    deals. I have one I've used on my covered patio.ust have to be careful
    all of the coals are DEAD before dumping the residue into the bin. Mine
    gets dumped onto and old tree stump I'm treating with saltpeter to help
    it along the road to oblivion. So I've no worries about setting the trash
    bin ablaze.

    Mine looks a lot like this - https://tinyurl.com/BURN-IT-UP - less the
    nice wooden handles. I may order one of these and give my current one
    to my brother or, if he he declines, Habitat for Humanity's op-shop.

    No anything like that will get us evected and charged and quite possibly
