Yesterday, was a long day... There was tomato canning, fixing of tractors, cattle getting out, and then a fantastic fish fry to top it all off!
A couple of days ago, a kind soul gave my mom a 26 pound box of tomatoes... Now what do you do with 26 pounds of tomatoes??? You can 'em! We didn't get quite all of them canned, but a lot of them! Now they are sitting in nice neat quart jars on our counter, waiting to join the 50 some quarts of green beans in the storeroom. It's a good feeling...
The tractor fixing and cattle getting out is really another story, so I'll skip to the fish fry.
First, we had wonderful, homemade hush-puppies. The crunchy outside and soft breaded inside are perfect together!
Then we had corn ears from my grandparents garden. It was delicious, especially with salt, pepper, and butter... Yummy!
Then the main dish, the fish! It was crisp and crunchy on the outside, while juicy and yummy on the inside. The fish were channel and flathead catfish. Needless to say, it was a great ending to a long day!
