Sundried Tomato and Goat Cheese Tilapia in a White Wine Sauce

Kind of funny story about this recipe.  On the way home last night I thought what can I do that is really quick and easy with that fish I need to cook.  I decided to try something similar to the topping on the grilled chicken with sun dried tomato goat cheese sauceSomehow I was able to get home and get everything cooked before my husband and daughter got home. 

We ate dinner, did bath time and then I went to write up the ingredients.  If the photo comes out ok I will usually sent it to myself on my hotmail account to try and get it on foodgawker and/or tastespotting.  I can load the photo to those websites from my email right on my iPhone while stuck at a stoplight or whatever. 

So I go to send the photo to myself using my husband's email account which is always up on the computer at home. 

As a side note, he has been looking for a job and had interviewed last week at a company so the emails back and forth with the interviewer were right at the top of his email. 

Too lazy to type my own email address in, I found a message that I had sent to him, click on my name outside that message and hit reply. I attach the photo and hit send.

HOLY CRAP.....as it's sending I see that it has the interviewers name for some reason in the send to field! 

I keep hitting DELETE, DELETE, DELETE but it still goes through.  Frantically I try to find a recall button but there isn't one.  I think to myself maybe she won't notice.  Maybe I will just not say anything and pretend I didn't send a picture of my fish dinner from my husband's account to the interviewer.  Wait no, that won't work.  If I interviewed someone and got a picture of a fish dinner with no message I would wonder what the heck was he thinking.

I had to fess up.  "Um...babe?"  "I kind of sent a picture of our fish dinner to the lady that interviewed you.  From your email account". 

He said don't worry...he'll just email her and send a rational explanation of what happened.  That his wife has a food blog and was sending herself a picture of fish and it somehow accidentally got sent to the wrong address.

I figure.  Well, she'll definitely remember who he is right?  I hope she likes fish.

The interviewer should be grateful. What a nice change to her regular (probably mundane and boreing) email.

It's a great shot. The recipe has all my favorite ingredients. Super!
