Very similar to dolmas. Because my father was accepted within the Lebanese/Greek Orthodox community, I grew up eating their foods. When I say Mediterranean foods are my favorit, the food center is Lebanon/Syria.

Ground beef, crushed tomatoes, uncooked rice, salt, pepper, seven spice, a bit of garlic powder, and mint combine to make the filling. Mostly cooked cabbage leaves are used to wrap the filling. The rolls are stacked in a pot once you line the pot bottom with torn and discarded leaves. Lots of garlic cloves go in between the stack layers and on top. Juice a lemon over the rolls and add crushed tomato on top. Fill the pot to cover the rolls. Put a plate on top of the rolls to hold them down. Simmer under cover for 90 minutes. This site gives a proportion of the mix that I used as an outline. I did not add the pomegranate stuff, used seven spice instead of allspice, and chose crushed tomato over sauce. https://simplyscrumptiousbysarah.com/2022/09/03/lahana-syrian-meat-and-rice-cabbage-rolls/ Seven spice is available from Amazon. I also use it in stuffed peppers, some short rib braises, and tabouli.

Homemade Lebanese style cabbage rolls.

When we moved away from Tablerock almost four years ago, I lost the ability to provide fresh walleye for our table. I have missed it. We recently joined Costco. This last Friday we went, and I found walleye fillets! I froze most of the bulk pack, but saved enough to make fishburgers for the wife and daughter.

Great fish! I was tube fishing a pond in Norman, Oklahoma in 1974. I heard a shot and almost immediately a whizz and splash about 20 feet from me. It happened twice more. I crawled out of the pond and went over the embankment and walked to the next pond. Bubba was shooting at turtles. The bullets were glancing off the water and over the embankment. When I explained what was happening, it became clear he was clueless.

A great day with Dad is the best. I vividly remember the the last great day I had with my Dad.

Smoked tuna composed salad with creamy peppercorn dressing.

Yea! It may have been the name of the oriental mushroom.

I will try again. I did a vegetarian version. I sauteed napa cabbage, green onion, shredded carrot, and mushroom with ginger and garlic. I added cut up cooked vermicelli. I spiced the mix with a small amount of soy and sesame oil and shaoxing wine.. Then I wrapped per a video I watched.

I have tried twice to answer. Something in the filter will not let me do so. DM me.

Shrimp stir fry for the wife and daughter.

Showoff.

Garlic ginger shrimp with home made egg rolls.

Please! Use it. I make rods to use. Sitting in a box is like, well, like racing cars people buy and never race. I would sincerely appreciate you using it and telling me frankly what you like and don't like. Your new rod is in process.

Not as far as I know. Arkansas has not stocked many hybrids.

I have said this before about jetski drivers, wake boats, ignorant tourney fishermen, and now kayakers: Spray Where They Breed. I wasn't kidding.

OUTSTANDING!

Did you fish the rod I sent? If so, what did you think.

The walleye in the picture may very well have been a sauger. Sauger have a minimal to nonexistent white tail tip, the dirty splotches as seen in the picture, and dirty and uneven dark freckles in the dorsal fin. The picture does not show the fin extended with light behind it, so I can't voice an opinion. Sauger were native to the White long before the dam. Of course, they eat just as well.

I never expect anything different. Major tournaments that bring one real sportsman or sportswomen to town also bring 100 wannabe, delusional, haven't got a clue, no connection to reality, not cognizant of courtesy, self important, expletive deleted mouth-breathers to town. My solution? Spray where they breed.

Table Rock can sooth your soul. Right now, the LM are moving to the beds. Buck bass are cruising and vulnerable. Two weeks to four weeks from now, the sows will be seriously on the beds. Not all fish spawn at the same time, so moving baits may still work. Top water time is less than a month away for bass. It will last into June. Within the next two to three weeks, walleye will be back down to Holiday Island and below. Try Ned rigs on large rock steep banks, especially with timber. Walleye love them. Bluegill move to the beds in May and June. Walleye and bass will ambush them. In other words, the best/easiest time of the year is coming soon. Keep the faith, brother.

I have fished both. For recreational fishing, go to Beaver and bless your stars there are only "some" cabin cruisers and wake boats, and species both approachable and fun to catch or eat. If you want to practice for tournament fishing, go to Grand and put up with the stupid boats and learn to fish largemouth bass.

Don't be so sure.

Fished out of Cranor's Wednesday and Thursday. Water release was vacillating between 26,000 and 30,000 cfs. Much trash in the water from debris pulled loose by water that high. Hard to fish, especially when the speed of the water altered usual locations. And ways to fish them. Wednesday we only caught four browns, although I had a good fish pull off. Those we put in the boat were not large. Dave Crisenbery, with whom I have fished before with excellent results, was not a happy camper. We all resolved to get up the next day and do better. Between 7:30 and 10:00 we caught two dink rainbows. I thought Dave was going to have a stroke. He said bad words. Then he tried a new tactic. We drifted out in the current in the middle of the river. No more fishing where back eddies met the current. No fishing runs where dips, humps, or points created quiet water where the fish could rest and wait for the current to bring food. Just down the middle over gravel. Between 10:00 and 11:30 we caught 6 fine browns; not trophies but decent 18 to 21 inch fish. We had to leave at noon, but his last minute changes turned the trip from poor to fun. The pictures show the current flow, day one and day two fish. I know - not a brag report - but sometimes trips are not what you had hoped to happen. Guides cannot change conditions. Maybe we should have taken up fly fishing and gone with @netboy.
