”Land O’Goshen”
That was splendid Bass-shit eating fish. Ever since I saw the “Dirty Jobs” episode with Mike Rowe at a Bass farm in Arizona I have wanted to try Talapia. The Talapia was used to decompose the dung from the Bass so that the farm is not so bad on the environment. Talapia is a mild tasting tender fleshed white fish with tiny guts. After I started the prep I realized I did not have some of the listed ingredients. I made several executive decisions about substitutes. My choices must have been OK since the dish was absolutely delectable. My recipe follows.
I had an appointment with my GP today. He took me, temporarily off furosemide and put me on Maxzide 25 mg. once a day. My feet had been swelling more each day and hurting. Since I started the Maxzide 2 days ago the swelling has almost disappeared and my feet do not hurt. Of course, I am peeing like a herd of Clydesdales. Surprisingly the Maxzide is the older medicine and much cheaper than the Furosemide. In my shower tonight I could actually wash my feet without jerking and trying to overcome very sensitive (ticklish) feet.
My cat is strange. He will not drink from a bowl of still water. He drinks from a running faucet. Every time I go to the throne room he jumps up on the lavatory and taps my wrist asking me to turn on the water. I have left home alone for 2 days with only bowl water. When I return he is desperate for a drink and the water level in the bowl is the same as when I left. But..he recently discovered I keep a cup of water on my desk for late night pill taking, I thought the water had changed in the last week. This evening I was at my desk and he jumped up and stuck his head into the water cup and obviously drank his fill. I have been drinking after a cat. A butt licking litter scratching rotted fish eating cat. Thank God I had already had dinner. From now on the cup will be covered.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.
Baked Tilapia with Garlic Butter
Ingredients
2 tablespoons Falfurrias butter unsalted
2 cloves garlic in brine, pressed
dash pepper
dash salt
pinch dried dillweed
dash ground cumin
2 tilapia fillets, about 4 ounces each
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: Makes enough for 1 big bellied old man
Preparation
In saucepan, combine butter, garlic, pepper, salt, dillweed, and ground cumin. Heat over low heat until butter is melted and starts simmering. Remove from heat.
Spoon a little of the butter mixture in the bottom of a square cake pan (line pan with foil) then place tilapia fillets on the buttered area. Brush top of each tilapia fillet with the seasoned butter mixture.
Bake at 350° for 18 minutes, or until tilapia flakes easily with a fork. Every oven is different so check doneness when fish looks OK.
Tomorrow I am going to pick up my new ice cream maker from my Walmart on Dunvale and I may buy a cool wooden crate to use for grocery shopping. It would mount perfectly on “my little mule”.
A Catholic Priest, a Protestant Minister and a Rabbi are discussing the question of when does life begin.
"Without any doubt," says the Priest, "life begins at the moment of conception - - when the egg is fertilized."
"No, no!" says the Protestant Minister. "Life begins at the moment of birth - - when the baby emerges."
"No way," says the Rabbi. "Life begins when the last kids are out of college, and the dog dies."
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
