Wolf's Den

So I'm participating in a swap in the We Swap Snacks comm on LJ, and while looking for more local, or East Coast type snacks for my swap partner (in Washington State), we headed to the Natural Food Co-Op here.

Where upon we spent way too much money, as per usual. I seriouwsly don't know why I bother to set a 'budget' for a swap, I inevitably always surpass it.

I was standing in front of the frozen foods and local meat section, and spotted some Ostrich fillets.

Yes, OSTRICH FILLETS.

I pulled one out, and turned to Mark.

"Hey, look, want to try it? ", I said.

"Ostrich? Not particularly", he replied.

"What happened to your sense of adventure and the thrill of trying new things?", I asked.

"I guess I lost it"< he laughed, "Or I got old."

"Hmph", says I, "We're trying it. AND we're trying the Bison steaks too."

"Yes, dear", he says.

Yup. Ostrich and Bison. Tomorrow, we're tring the Bison steaks. Grilled of course. Topped with a pat of Kerrygold Garlic & Herb Irish butter.

But tonight... oh, tonight, it's all about buttermilk soaked, seasoned, panko breaded fried Catfish fillets. Yum. Haven't had that since... well, since I was a teenager!

Mark, the BiL and the SiL have never had Catfish, to the best of their knowledge. This must be remedied. Yes, indeed.

If I remember, I will get photos so I can post what I do with the Catfish. Definitely photos of the Bison and Ostrich. Most definitely.
