New Things A-Comin'!

So, no foodie stuff today except to say that I am preparing to do a couple new things with ideas I have gleaned from reading and listening and one recipe that I received from a friend from HS. (Yes there are people in my HS Class that actually still talk to me. Deal!)

So what are these two lovelies? One is a rib steak and the other is a catfish fillet.

This week I am going to try something I have never done - BLACKENED Catfish. I normally fry it breaded but I have decided that since I have a cast iron skillet, it is time for me to attempt a blackened version.I don't know how it will come out since I will have to assemble the blackening seasoning myself (No pre-bought) and with it I will make a small jalapeno cornbread loaf and make a small batch of beans.

The rib steak is based on a recipe given me by my HS friend and since she was kind enough to share, I was willing to try...problem...I have no bourbon in the house. Funny - I live on bourbon st and yet have none! It is part of her recipe but I have none...but what I DO have is Hefeweissen. SO...a little adjustment here and there and a marinade that tasted good in the bowl and I hope goes well with the steak. Oh - the other thing I didn't have was Tabasco - go fig - so instead, some hot curry. D - I will let you know how it goes!

Keep an eye out!
