Discovery

Every day is a discovery with food. My family urges me to write my recipes to share and duplicate, but I have written only two. I have recipes I have collected all over my house. I love cookbooks but with my computer at my side most of the time, my recipe search is with my fingers on the keyboard. My attempt  here is to share my discoveries and make others through meeting like minded people.

My fun right now is the vegetables and seafood in season. Living in Florida I have access to so many fine offerings all year. For the moment, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, cranberries, and beets.I've been nuts making breads, pies, cookies, salads, and even canning! Right now my dining table is covered with jars of wonderful bounty to have for the coming months.

My daughter is home from college for winter break. One of her favorite pastimes is fishing...yeah, HER pastime. So, she caught dinner today. Fried fish, with fresh Cole slaw, hush puppies for my mother and coconut rice. 

The fish - Whiting that my daughter cleaned and dressed at the pier (Yay no scales on my back porch). The Cole slaw traditional but if I told you my mothers secret she would shoot me. The Hush Puppies were  Paula Deen's recipe with a couple of changes. She called for self rising flour; I did not have it so I substituted baking mix (Bisquick). I also added white pepper because I like the way it tastes with the onion.

Time to call it a night.

Looking forward to new discoveries!
