I am ready for the fish recipes, I dont have any venison


I quit hunting too :lol:

Trout Almondine:
Simply put, quick, easy, hardly any clean-up and amazingly good.

I don't measure anything so you just kinda have to "wing it" and it isn't like a bomb or anything so close is 'perfect'.

white fish (I use whatever I can find but have preferences. Sheepshead is probably the best :bow:, then go down from there, rat reds, etc until you get down to the lowly speckled trout. :lol:" any of it will work I just prefer something that will hold together a bit and isn't too fishy.

fish fillets (battered as is you're going to deep fry them)
almonds (I buy the seasoned package, parmesan)
heavy cream (the bacon of the dairy product)
butter (preferred is one without salt added)
one or two lemons
maybe a little parsley (not required)

in a large saute' pan heated to medium add a couple tbsp's of butter
once melted add your fillets then cook until golden brown, turning once... Once fillets are done I typically place them on a cookie sheet and place them in a warmed oven while the remaining fillets and sauce are cooking.
once all fillets are done and in the oven you want to add another tbsp of butter and saute' your alomonds (the whole pack) until they are brown but not burned. Once almonds are cooked pour in some heavy cream (eyeball it)then add a couple shots of lemon juice and simmer just a short bit as it will change color to a clear if you cook it too long. Still good either way though. Once sauce is done remove fish from the oven and put a heaping spoon full on each plated fillet then consume. Place a few lemon wedges on a side dish as they may be needed/wanted.

I usually make pasta alfredo and french bread as a side. For extra kick, add a few jumbo shrimp to the alfredo. So easy a caveman can do it and it is simply awesome. Make this for your honey or even company and they will think you worked your butt off. Easy to make, about 20 minutes (tops) and clean-up is a breeze. I cook mine outside on the outdoor cooker.

this is the best fish you'll ever eat aside from seared tuna

:cheers:

I'm not a horticulturist but have grown some grass before :pimp:

13-13-13 isn't for your lawn, you'll feed the weeds more than anything. Not saying you won't/can't achieve a beautiful lawn by using it, but you stand a risk of some serious weed issues if your yard goes under stress, such as a drought, cutting the yard too short etc.

a weed and feed combination isn't good either

Centipede requires a high nitrogen fertilizer but getting above 20 is considered high. I would stay around a fertilier with a rating of 16-4-8 as this is all the lawn needs. Avoid buying at box stores too, as they will not carry a fertilizer like this, normally. Sure, they will carry a grade that is high in nitrogen but all you are doing is giving your lawn a short high boost of energy. It will green up like it's on steroids but it isn't healthy in the long run. Reason being, grass can get addicted to this grade of eating habit and will have a weak immune system if you will. Any lack of water, change in weather or whatever, and your yard will suffer. Best to stay with something in the range I indicated. Anything above this you are only killing my beloved fish. The overage of nitrogen goes into the estuaries and causes something to the effect of being called algae blossom, not good.


Pre-spring, spread a weed pre-emergent killer to baiscally keep the weeds from ever seeding out. Water your lawn with one inch of water a week and try avoid watering every day. Water once a week, as mentioned, at least once inch worth in growing season. Let your centipede grow high, like to the tune of 4" high. Takes some getting used to but once done for a while it will become thicker and much more beautiful. The shade provided by the grass blades will subside weed growth as well.

this isn't a very good pic of my grass, but it shows enough, I think. This lawn was planted in January, from seed, using a blend of rye grass (to hold my other seeds), bermuda (to hold my centipede seed) then centipede. Year or so later, the entire yard is covered and thriving



find one of these local to you and use them

Slick, As a parent myself, and from reading your first message. I was seriously in tears as my children are my world so it hits home with me...

May he Lord offer your son, your wife, you and family the strength to hang in there as he does his work. The Lord has a place for all of us, it is in his plan to place us where he needs us.

Godspeed
