What's Cooking?

Love the old school look.  Ate many many a fried whole black perch/green sunfish, or those could be gogglers too.  I had some black Eyed Peas last night as part of the new years celebration.  They had some peppers and sausage in them.  Was very good.  However did not mix well with some cheap bubbly.  I still have some.crowder peas I  need to soak some, a little ham hock or bacon and jalapeño pepper might be delicious.

Crab legs, clarified butter, take-and-bake Italian loaf, roasted asparagus and the rest of the bubbly from this morning.

Ahhh chief that brings back a lot of good memories. Look like googel eye. I have not bit into a crunchy tail in years.

I think all the K.C. area members should meet at Ness's place in Shawnee for supper.  Or Brunch, etc.

   Wow some super looking eat right here!    I know the area where Ness resides and I don't mind driving North a few miles to The Ness household   We have been in some food comas here too. Had a friend in for what we call the goosefest. They travel from Arnold near St. Louis for a few days between Christmas and New Years for water fowling. This year because of the rain it came a it later and we hunted into the New year. Well they bring food and I mean lots of food. We started last Wednesday and Brad cooked a rack of lamb on the charcoal grill. Pam cooked sliced potatoes in cream and then added fresh spinach. Oh my what to say? The coma has begun. Next Evening it was super thick rib eyes over charcoal again. Baked potato. Sliced not quite through with a piece of bacon weaved through the slices, slathered with butter and wrapped in foil then baked in the oven. Food coma still going:) We did not hunt New Years morning but again started the day eating Belgian waffles. That afternoon before our hunt it was fried fish, asparagus and of course black eyed peas. After yesterdays hunt bookoos leftovers to clean out the fridge. No photos of food, too busy eating and hunting. If you want the hunting report it will be shortly in the migratory birds,

BilletHead still in food coma.

How is clarified butter different from melting regular butter?

Wow, 30 seconds research on Google and I could've avoided that embarrassing fox pass?

Yeah, it's just melted butter with the water and milk solids removed by heating and skimming. Different flavor, cleaner and less fatty. Can also be used for cooking. Has a higher smoke point than butter.
