A recipe!

I had to put a recipe on here,"Jenelle" does it everyday!
I like this one,and was reminded of it because of "Paula's Party" on the Food Network.I usually only care about desserts,but good crispy fish,Mmm Mmm Good!


Beer Battered Fish and Chips Recipe

courtesy Paula Deen


4 large baking potatoes, cut into French fry strips

Beer Batter:
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 1/2 pounds cod fillets, skinned with bones removed, and fish cut diagonally into 1-inch-wide strips (5 to 6-inches long)


In a Dutch oven, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
Fry potatoes until golden brown, roughly 10 minutes removing with a slotted spoon or spider. Hold in low oven to keep warm while cooking the fish.

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F,

Batter:
In a large bowl, pour in 1 bottle of beer. Sift 1 1/2 cups flour into the bowl, whisking in gently until just combined, stir in House Seasoning. Pat fish dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper and dredge in 1/2 cup of remaining flour. Coat pieces of fish in beer batter and slide into oil as coated. Fry fish, turning over frequently, until deep golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Fry remaining fish in batches, returning oil to 375 degrees F between batches.

Serve fish with French fries.



House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Paula claims her House seasoning is good for 6mo's if stored in an airtight container.

I love this batter because it is so crunchy,my problem is making sure I have the oil hot enough to make it stick.I have no patience when I am hungry!

No more Tilley

My weekend was full of joy and heartache.I sold Tilley to a girl out of Iowa City.I had to do it because I couldn't get her to STOP having accidents in my kitchen.I have never scrubbed my floor as much in my entire life as I did with Tilley around.Every half hour wasn't enough for her I guess.I didn't have the patience and I am ashamed about that.The girl who has her now seems very optimistic...GOOD LUCK.Tilley is an adorable animal and very loving,just leaks allot!I was honest about the reason for the sale.So they knew she would be a tough one to break.
So,I have been sad since Saturday,and I even shed a tear,or two,last night before I went to sleep.I know that Tilley is in a good home,I just wish I didn't get attached to her.Guess it is my fault for not doing more research on the breed.I'll know better if I ever attempt a inside pet again.

Brian William's business!



I cannot beleive how crafty Brian and his wife Angela are!
Their oldest daughter invited Kendall out to play on Sunday(They are both in the Leon Youth Rodeo),anyway,Angela invited me in.Well,I got to look through all sorts of leather goods that Brian and she had made.
I was in awe,and they are priced TOO CHEAP.I was wanting to buy a new belt right then,but didn't have my check book!
They have all sorts of leather tools,stams and all.Pretty cool stuff!
Anyway,I have faith in their products,and will proably get Kendall's chaps from Brian because he can make them adjustable and personalize them just for my big BULL rider!God bless Kendall...I say that after I say my son is a BULL RIDER...every time,I just said it again,I just didn't type it!LOL The LORD knows he needs it.
Later...
