Spicy Garlic Red Snapper with Peppers and Mushrooms. Bulgur Wheat.

So, not the most exciting combination of possible foods on the planet, but this meal was more about eating the Red Snapper that we had, and not having any rice, and taking a sudden interest in Bulgur Wheat after a wonderful takeout experience at a nearby Turkish restaurant. In general this meal was not entirely disgusting, it was just very purposeful, rather than lavish and decadent. I ended up eating this for lunch again, and since my girl had the day off today, she may have as well.
