A rare treat here in New Orleans, fresh caught rainbow trout, smothered under crawfish and ro-tels served on a bed of grits, with okra from last year's garden. I never knew about this, but LDFW stocks several lakes across South Louisiana every winter, when the water gets cold enough for the trout. They don't survive the summer, of course, so they stock with adult fish rather than smaller fry. I didn't know you are supposed to use corn on a hook to catch these fish, but apparently they don't know that anything else is good to eat until they have lived free and wild for a couple of weeks. They will apparently attack a rooster tail but corn is king. Once I got tipped off and given some corn by someone leaving, it was fish on, almost immediately. We catch trout all the time, but speckled trout, a different fish, found in salt or brackish water. Rainbows are something we only see in the grocery. So me and the wife really enjoyed our trout dinner, and we will be ready with corn on hook, next year. Actually I figure on going back to the park and getting my limit Monday morning, and picking in a few hatchery channel cats won't be a bad thing. They taste better than wild ones.Last edited by CrescentCityRazors; 01-28-2023 at 03:01 PM.

So, went fishing in Joe Brown Park again this morning, didn't catch ANY trout this time, but got a couple of nice hatchery channel cats. Those hatchery cats are so friggin good! Yeah I like wild catfish but these guys are incredible. I didn't do nothing fancy, just cut up the filets in handy size portions, dusted with Slap Ya Mama, battered, and deep fried them. Wife did a cole slaw the other day and so we had it, and I opened up a can of porky beans, Campbells this time, instead of my usual favorite brand, Showboat. Beverage was a homebrewed imperial oat stout aged over a year, and it was delightful, too. Wife presented me with a perfect Old Fashioned, for after dinner cocktail.

Actually, no. It didn't seem a good fit and I didn't feel the urge. I like a stogie after a more hearty meal, usually, though I do make exceptions.
I will say that to me, a cigar and an Old Fashioned go together pretty well. This might sound strange to many, but I never really liked drinking straight whiskey with a cigar. The alcohol fumes somehow clash with the smoke. Certain cocktails work, for me, and a nice glass of Tawny Port is great, alongside a cigar. So yeah on the strength of the after dinner cocktail, I could have enjoyed a smoke, I suppose.

Here's the first dozen. I had to wait for the Mrs to shuck the second dozen. Oysters Rockefeller, first time I have made this. Came out pretty darn good. Wine was $2.49 at Walmart and actually was not awful at all. This time, I DID have a cigar, one of my home rolled Imperfectos.

Thanked: 4206Easter tradition for a friend is cold Easter pizza. So she shared a slab graciously.
Massive taste, all spicy capicola, cheese and crust around the edge.
Served cold the mouth feel, buttery and flaky.
Never had anything like it, but enjoyed it quite a bit and will be sniffing for the recipe.
Cheers men..Last edited by MikeB52; 04-09-2023 at 09:53 PM.
