Fish dish

I need suggestions for a meal for this evening. We're having fish but that's as far as I've got. It needs to be something relatively light and straight-forward to cook, as I don't want to spend hours...

Heart Ninja video

I'm sure that I remember a video for one of the singles by Heart that had ninjas in it. I originally thought that it was 'These Dreams' but now I'm not so sure. Anyone know what I'm on about?

seasonal soup

Am on a health kick and I think I'll make some soup tonight. Does anyone have any suggestions for combinations of ingredients that are in season, not run of the mill, and tasty? Thanks.

Editing of English books in US

I recently read a US version of 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' and was surprised to discover that the text had been amended to reflect US spelling. Is this standard practise?
