"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron

"Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work
in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "

Jalapeno Catfish
Ingredients:
2 and a 1/2 pounds catfish fillets
1 and 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno pepper
4 small cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil for fryin'
Instructions:
1) Rinse and pat the fillets lightly, leavin' a little moisture
so the coatin' will stick.
2) In a pie plate, combine the cornmeal, jalapeno, garlic, and salt.
3) Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet
over medium-high heat.
4) Dip each fillet into the cornmeal mixture, then place in hot oil.
5) Turn carefully when the fish is browned.
6) Fry 'til the opposite side is browned and the fish just begins to flake when pierced with a fork.
and the best of intentions for whoever wants to try 'em,
but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
