was pulling off a paper towel last night and nearly broke her finger. I jerked it too hard and hit the wall. My daughter and I have a running joke about getting bruised just walking down the hall. Guess she got my gift of spastic limbs.
My injury came right in the middle of making hamburger steak but I managed to finish.

Fried Catfish!
We wanted something a little different for supper last night...Hubby's Mom sent home some catfish steaks so I thawed them out and fried them. Boy were they good! I didn't have any coating mix, so I made my own. I put a couple of cups of yellow cornmeal in the food processer, put a good bit of Cajun seasoning in it and processed it until it turned into corn flour.
When the grease is right, the fish drop to the bottom and then start to come up to the top. I don't stir them around until they start to brown...the coating stays on the fish better. When the pieces float they are done. Remove and drain well, put on a flat pan covered with newspaper and paper towels and place in a warm (180 degree) oven. Don't crowd the pan - it needs to be done about 5 pieces at a time.
When the last of the fish was cooked, I coated cut up potatoes with the seasoned corn flour and fried them in the fish grease. SOOOOO Good!
We had slaw, onion and pickles with the fish and potatoes and pralines for dessert. Make you slap your pappy!
Looking rainy (or snowy) outside today...white Christmas maybe???
Little Man stayed with me a while yesterday so Mom could get her candy made. He took every candy cane off the tree except for the 3 he couldn't reach. He has a rider truck toy with a storage compartment as the seat. He put all the candy canes in it and rode all over the house. I thought he would probably forget about the candy canes and I would put them back on the tree when he left. When daughter came to get him they started to leave and he ran over to the truck, got all the candy canes out and put them in the bag he brought his toys in. So, my tree is naked. I should have known something as important as candy canes would not have been forgotten.
When we got ready to eat, I heated up the deep fryer, dredged the fish steaks in the seasoned corn flour and dropped them in the hot grease.

It's Official
The next full moon will be April 28, and we will finally get to plant our garden. Planting by the full moon may sound like an old wive's tale, but I'm an old wife and it really works. The garden seems to flourish a little better when we do that.
Fried chicken it was for supper last night, for less than $2.00. The chicken was $.47 lb., and the steamed veggies in sauce were $1.28 with a coupon. Pretty good for two people. We had those German chocolate cake balls for dessert. I really could have eaten the cake balls for dinner and left the chicken alone, but something about that is just not right.
Tonight, liver with bacon and onions.
