Catfish dinner

The caretaker saw me out with my camera this morning. He had a couple pictures to show me and a story to go with them. It seems there are a couple of wily old catfish in the next pond over. Were in there when he took on the job 15 years ago. They are still there. About 5 feet long now. Wily as ever. Not tempted by anything those guys in hats throw at them.

I was honored to see them this afternoon, drifting around. Of course I didn't have my camera along. Wily old buggers.

How to Prepare Mice

To prepare mice, you have to first thaw them out and pull the skins off and the guts out. Then you wash them, bread them carefully, and braise them lightly in olive oil in the black skillet.
