‘Supermoon’ Alert: Biggest Full Moon of 2012 Occurs This Week

The moon will officially become full Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT. And because this month’s full moon coincides with the moon’s perigee — its closest approach to Earth — it will also be the year’s biggest.

The moon will swing in 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) from our planet, offering skywatchers a spectacular view of an extra-big, extra-bright moon, nicknamed a supermoon.

And not only does the moon’s perigee coincide with full moon this month, but this perigee will be the nearest to Earth of any this year, as the distance of the moon’s close approach varies by about 3 percent, according to meteorologist Joe Rao, SPACE.com’s skywatching columnist. This happens because the moon’s orbit is not perfectly circular.

Garlic Lime Swordfish with Cilantro Lime Jasmine Rice & Spicy Watermelon Salsa

i am feeling generous and i have time on my hands while i acquire the newest game of thrones episode so here’s a little recipe for you.

Swordfish Marinade:
1 good sized lime
3 T olive oil
about a dozen cilantro stems
one half inch slice of onion
2-3 minced garlic cloves
2 swordfish steaks
salt and cayenne pepper

combine ingredients minus salt and pepper  and let marinate for 30-60 minutes
season steaks on both sides
grill at med high heat (on a well oiled grill) for 3-4 minutes each side

Spicy Watermelon Salsa:
1/2 Mini Watermelon (1/4inch dice)
10 dried chiles de arbol mince
5 cloves garlic mince
juice from 1 lemon
juice from 1 orange
salt to taste

combine everything. it will take quite a bit of salt. i didnt measure. but its nice to have a slight saltiness to it to work with the sweet watermelon and orange flavor.

Cilantro Lime Jasmine Rice:
1.5 cups jasmine rice
3 cups water 
4 cloves garlic minces
zest from one lime
1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped(more or less depending on how much you love this stuff)

heat a tablespoon of oil in a pot over med high heat
saute garlic for about 10-15 sec then add rice and let it absorb the oil and toast for about 30-45 sec.
add water and let come to a boil
cover and simmer till rice is done.
about 15 minutes i think. i should time these things and stop eyeballing it. 
you can either salt the rice after you are done cooking or when you add the water
or both. for this much rice it usually takes me about 2 pinches of pink sea salt

So cook all this stuff and put it all on some plates and eat it.
