Pan fried catfish fillet dredged in Zatarain's crispy spiced fish fry coating. Don't like catfish? Use any mild white flaky fish fillet you wish. The fish fry coating is very nice. I'll be frying it in a scant amount of corn oil in a non-stick skillet.
I'm up in the air about what to have with it. Corn on the cob or
Fordhook lima beans. I'll figure that out later.
What's for dinner tonight, folks?

We were invited to my son's house for an anniversary dinner before they
take off to Spain for a couple weeks. He cooked some planked salmon and served it with rice and steamed asparagus. Dessert was a selection of
gluten free goodies. I had the Naniamo bar. It was wonderful.

It's asparagus season up here. Usually early- to mid-May through
mid-June. It's been a cold spring, so the northern Michigan crop
is just starting to be harvested.
"Fresh" imported asparagus is available when it is not in season here.
Nobody needs to eat frozen or jarred asparagus (shudder).

It's in the grocery store year round. It isn't as good when it's
imported from Chile, but it's better than frozen or jarred asparagus,
which are already too soft.

get sick of it. But then the fresh local stuff came out. It is so much >better than the imported stuff.
One of the major improvements in food trans sportation is imported >asparagus. About 20 years ago it started to become available in the
middle of our winter. Nice idea but it just wasn't worth it. The stuff
was bland and woody, and it costs about 5 times as much as the local
crop. Now they get it here much faster and in better condition than it
used to be. Now it so much better quality and the price us competitive.

They both have three layers and contain a lot of sugar. Nanaimo bars
have a cocoa, coconut and graham wafer crust. The centre is a very sweet dense custard and the top is chocolate. They are very popular here
despite the fact that most people have only the commercially made
variety suck compared to the real home made bars. When I was a kid my mother used to make them, They were dangerous. One was so good I had to

I can't say that Spain is a prime tourism destination for Canadians. If
they want a vacation in the sun they are more likely to head south to Florida, Mexico or the Caribbean. Cuba is a popular winter destination.
Have ever visited your stepmother in Sweden? It's beautiful. It's pretty expensive if you have to stay in a hotel and eat in restaurants, but if
you can stay with her that is a bonus. When we went there we stayed with
my wife's friends. We spent the first night at their house on the

Last night, I had a piece of pizza, two chicken nuggets and some fries,

Our cuisine is getting less and less impressive. Tonight, my wife had store-bought rotisserie chicken, bought yesterday, with other stuff.
I'll probably have some later. Or not. <BURP>

It works great if you're the kind of person that likes soup.
The good news is that Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen opened in our little town. The
bad news is that the lane entering the lot has been clogged up since it opened.
Not to be negative or anything, but the drive-through was not a good experience.
We had to wait about 20 minutes to get our food. Unfortunately, the staff was not ready for the mission they have taken on.
When we finally got home, the sandwiches we found to have paper in them. Hopefully, the person assembling the sandwiches was unaware of the paper keeping the cheese slices separate. I like to think that it was a manager that
was responsible. One sandwich had two bottom buns. That probably threw their entire assembly sequence into a tizzy.
There was also the small matter of having to fork over 70 buck plus for this beta trail run. I'm an optimist and will give them a try in the future. After things have cooled down a bit. I took a picture of the building - it's so clean
and fresh.

Gotta love it when people bitch about drive-through orders that are

Should we care? Seriously. Our grievances should not be written off as insignificant just because the "manager" is too young and too
inexperienced to be managing his staff and his operation properly.

went to Kapahulu Popeye's for an online / drive through. at the drive through, they forgot about 2/3's of my order. no drink, no sides, no sauce, etc. checked as much as i could, drove off. noticed that the pieces of chicken were less than advertised. called to notify them, they said "sorry, cant help. go online" definitely will never return to this place ever again. horrible in every way possible.

Long waiting inside the store, They just let you wait for 15 plus
minutes, they are trying to serve the drive through first, may be next
time better do drive, through. Can't help just wait, wait, and wait.
Too bad.
I hate to agree, but...this is typical in any Popeyes I have tried.
Not well-sorted at the counter or drive through.

That is what it was like at some of the Tim Hortons take out joints
here. There are several around here were the line up is so long it
extends across a plaza parking lot, down the entrance land and out onto
the street. I can't believe people will wait that long for a crappy cup
of coffee. The good news is that Hortons seems to be falling out of
favor due to their lowered standards and the use of foreign temporary workers instead of hiring locals.
