Catfish
catfish.jpgMade 2 lbs of catfish tonight. Mac n cheese from a box, green beens on the stove.
The catfish was dredged in whole buttermilk, and a mix of corn meal, flour, cayanne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. I just kind of eyeballed the portions.
That was left to sit for five minutes and dipped and dredged a second time.
Fried in about a half inch (I am cleaning my tape measurer now ) of olive oil as we were out of vegetable oil.
My best batch was the last as the oil was at a good temperature.
Peach cobbler from the frozen food section for desert.
TOMORROW:
March Madness finger foods...
fried mozzarella sticks homemade (ranch and marinara), and veggies tempura style, also homemade. Ice bath panko, and dipping sauce, instant dashi base, though I usually make my own dashi.

Looks delicious! I hate electric stoves as well.
I made Quiona with roasted red peppers and roasted mushrooms. Seasoned with cilantro, chives, garlic, lemon zest, a bit of lemon juice, sea salt and some red pepper flakes.

Crudite
Made this yesterday, just a Crudité, using fresh carrots, celery, snowpeas, red and yellow bell peppers, shitake mushrooms, kalamata olives, cherry tomato, and a few other things...
This is a classic dish that can be very simple to make, is low calorie, and you can utilize fresh produce to boost your energy levels...or so I have been told.
Served it with a fresh basil ranch, and garlic hummus.
A little research and I came across the history of Crudite, and found it quite interesting...

History
"There is no known history of crudite recipes recorded in any kind of cookbooks even those that pertain to the early French recipes. Nor does the American cuisine have any documentation of the crudités. The earliest indication of the raw vegetable platter can be traced back to 1955 when Ginette Mathiot listed the ‘Hors D'Oeuvres Cru’ in the cookbook titled ‘La Cuisine Pour Tous’."

That sausage looks mighty tasty, Mark.
I'm not making anything myself...BUT...this is where we'll be on Sunday evening. I'll let y'all know how it goes.
http://dallaschaine.org/olympic-dinner-4-1-2012/
Last Saturday, we enjoyed a four couple wine pairing dinner with the head of the Dallas chapter of the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bailliage de Dallas, Dr Clay Cockerell, and his wife, Brenda, who also own Coquerel Family Wine Estates in Calistoga. It was an exceptional evening and his wine library (15'x15' w/8' high built-in wine storage on three walls - each slot 3 bottles deep) was...well...WAY out of my league but
This lifestyle is one of the reasons we're planning to move to our ranch in NorCal this year - a desire to spend the remainder of our days among people who enjoy the search for that next OMG bite of food and sip of wine, and looking to remove the unnecessary drama from their lives.
Zum wohl!
Richard

Let me know when you get back out here, Richard. I will personally deliver some sausage to you. The Spicy Italian is great on pizza baked in a wood fired oven. I use my gas grill with oak chips and a pizza stone. Exceptional.

I think a batch of my late grandfather's special porridge would be in order this evening (or tomorrow for the UK-UofL game). However, it's nothing too exciting...just tomato soup mixed with several cups of water, ground sausage, canned corn, and potatoes. I honestly think he probably came up with it by throwing a bunch of ingredients that he found into a pot one evening when my grandmother wasn't cooking, and the rest is history. It sure is delicious!
