People Ask Me All The Time Just Exactly What Is It You Do and Can I Do It Too...

People ask me all kind of questions. "Mudbelly what was it you said when the plane was going down?" or "How you wake up every morning and decide what to write in the blog?" or "who dat gurl on the blog?" or "How you cook catfish?" Those things are all more closely related than you might think. 

I am of the cooking school that I look in the cabinets and fridge and decide how on hand ingredients can be combined to make a dish. I occasionally consult the internet to learn how some result is achieved but usually depart from listed ingredients in my own way. 

I grilled fresh caught Sam Rayburn Lake channel catfish fillets that had been marinated in balsamic vinegar and seasoned with Cavender's Greek Seasoning. Before this I had cooked a package of Ramen type noodles without the seasoning. Drain noodles and toss with a tablespoon of butter and two teaspoons of curry powder. While fish are grilling I stir fried in olive oil chopped broccoli, celery, red peppers, and onion in an iron skillet but please use what you like. After vegetables are done to your preferred crispness add noodles for a quick stirring reheat being careful not to burn and then pile all fish fillets onto the noodles in the iron skillet and serve. 

I cooked the noodles on the stove inside but all other cooking done on my propane stove   and the lowest end gas grill you can imagine outdoors. At the same time I fried catfish in the traditional manner because like what I said when the plane was going down it is what I am famous for. 

So while we were eating all this I related to my dinner partners something I read about "layering flavors" in the food column of the the local newspaper. The gurl on the blog looked up from her plate and said, "You don't need that guy."   

More on how I decide what to write in the blog everyday tomorrow or some other day.
