I sautee'd bell peppers and red onions, and had thin steak marinating
for the last day and a half in the fridge. I fried up the steak on top
of the veggies, but it tasted sour, I think the meat turned somehow.
Bummer, waste of effort. I dug frozen Aldi panko breaded chicken
tenders out of the freezer and threw some into the deep fryer. They
were sorta OK. I'll have to remember to not get those again.
Hopefully someone else had a more interesting menu.

Lunch was a sandwich with salami, ham, cheese, shredded lettuce,
hot cherry pepper relish, EVOO, red-wine vinegar, and Penzey's
pizza seasoning blend. Onion would have been nice, but I didn't
feel like opening a new one.
Dinner was grilled chicken breast on a salad. The chicken was
two days past its sell-by date, so I gave it the sniff test.

I poached a piece of salmon in fish stock and wine and it was delicious.
I used to grill salmon but never really enjoyed it. However, when I was
in hospital recently, one dinner was poached salmon, which was superb.
So since then, I've cooked it that way several times.
Back last century we used to throw big dinner parties, I
often poached a whole salmon. Looks spectacular, serves
many, tastes great...but very simple and straightforward
to do.

My mother in law used to poach salmon for dinner parties and it was
always a hit.
My step-mom has a fish poacher. It's a shiny, beautiful, vessel for a
more civilized age. My guess is that poached salmon was not eaten much
by regular folks in America. I'm talking about a whole fish decorated
and encased in clear aspic. I'm thinking about cooking up a salmon for
her tomorrow. It won't be a whole fish in aspic but it might be poached.
Da Hawaiians eat salmon as sashimi or as lomi-lomi salmon. Lomi-lomi
salmon is awesome!

Bunch of thieves! After you poach them, how do you cook them?

The only way I've cooked salmon is baked in the oven. I've never

I bought a short-date catfish fillet at the grocer today. I've never
made catfish before, I suppose it's best battered and fried?

That looks good, but I'll take one with some crispy lettuce and a slice
of tomato.
I was not aware that "crispy jalapenos" are a thing. Are they packaged
the same way as the "crispy fried onions" used to adorn everyone's
favorite green-bean casserole? If so, I think I have to get myself a
can of them to try out.

The only place that I've ever seen it is in a restaurant supply store
but you can get it from Amazon. It goes great with tuna sandwich.

How much heat do jalapenos have? I'll ask AI. Not much heat. Meh.
They ain't Carolina reapers, but my interest is piqued. I never heard
of such a thing, and they're in a one-pound bag! Amazon says Thursday.
I'm looking forward to it.

It's easy to catch big ones at the Nuuanu reservoir. I cut one of them
up and it was the most beautiful filet ever. It was battered and breaded
with a cornmeal mix and fried up great. Everything went well until I
took a bite out of that fish. It tasted of pond scum. It was a pretty
big letdown. I'll never eat a catfish again.

Growing up near the Mississippi, we ate catfish a lot...
BUT we always bought it from a local fish market, the market would catch
the fish and then put them in "cleansing tanks" for a few days with
running fresh water and feed them cornmeal, this purged the
impurities... this would get rid of the "muddy" taste and the fish was fine... did the same with carp...
Catfish and carp really are "bottom feeders"... catfish sold
commercially is farmed in clean ponds with "clean" food (fish chow), so
what you buy in the store tastes okay...
Catfish tastes "sweet"...
Ny two fave childhood taste memoris are of fried whole catfish and
smoked carp...

The only reward I get is knowing that you'll be digging those chips.
When it's all over, you'll be dreaming about that time in your life when
you were in possession of these magical delights. Well, that's what I'm guessing. Your wife might find them a little too spicy. I find them
pretty much perfect myself.

Does that mean no heat? AI says jalapenos are a bit hotter than
tabasco sauce. That's not very weak at all, I'd say.

They're not nearly as hot as Tabasco sauce. Over my life, I've eaten
some pretty hot stuff, excluding Carolina reapers or ghost peppers.
Even my wife didn't recoil after eating some. She did notice the heat
after thirty seconds but lived through the experience without a tear in
her eye or whine in her voice.
Give me ten bucks and a Carolina reaper, and I'll eat it. Or...give me

I finally found a bag!! Meijer grocery store near Youngstown. I
haven't put them on a salad or anything yet, but I ate a few, and I
thought they were pretty good. Nice heat, but not too much.
The question is, which is more popular on RFC now... The crispy
jalapeno chips, or these "Vickies" chips? ;)
