Fish Fry

Got up this morning expecting to see and hear rain.  There was none.  Now I wish I had gotten up earlier so that I could go for a run.

Got home this afternoon and still no rain...lots of wind.  Luke and his friends decide to go for a swim.

I prep all the fish we caught.  Some going to the neighbors, some in the freezer, and some for us tonight.

This day in history "On this day in 1973, future President Jimmy Carter files a report with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), claiming he had seen an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) in October 1969.

During the presidential campaign of 1976, Democratic challenger Carter was forthcoming about his belief that he had seen a UFO. He described waiting outside for a Lion's Club Meeting in Leary, Georgia, to begin, at about 7:30 p.m., when he spotted what he called "the darndest thing I've ever seen" in the sky. Carter, as well as 10 to 12 other people who witnessed the same event, described the object as "very bright [with] changing colors and about the size of the moon." Carter reported that "the object hovered about 30 degrees above the horizon and moved in toward the earth and away before disappearing into the distance." He later told a reporter that, after the experience, he vowed never again to ridicule anyone who claimed to have seen a UFO."

I never saw a UFO.

So, we have sea bass and porgy.  Panko bread crumbs, some select spices and my deep fryer.  Some fresh oil and away we go.  While cooking the first batch, the light goes off....fooled once before I run down to the basement and reset the circuit breaker.  Can't deep fry and use the microwave at the same time.

Dinner is a big hit...even my home made tartar sauce gets a rave review.  Not a scrap of fish left at the end of the meal.  Fish is always best fresh.

Waiting for the storms to roll thru, or rather hoping that they keep missing us.

P.S. This is a file photo.  I forgot to take  pic and then the fish was all gone.  :-)
