My oldest daughter likes the heat. Next in line son does if I don't tell him it's in there. Oldest son, have no clue since he's been eating southern fare for a year. I hear about a lot of bbq and smoked venison hind quarters, so I imagine he's getting a taste for some spice (hoping he's had an Étouffée and liked it).
Tonight, wifey (who just walked in the front door) took oldest daughter and a friend to visit a university two hours north of here. I took the opportunity to scavenge for something fun for me and the boy. Found some catfish fillets at a reasonable price, picked up some panko GF bread crumbs I've been wanting to try, and a bag of petite brussel sprouts. Found out too late that I was a little low on oil, but it actually turned out better w/o all the oil (old pan that sometimes drops too low in heat and allows the oil to soak in a bit). Simple corn starch/egg wash/panko w/salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Turned out really well. I had a fish sandwich with some ho-made tartar sauce. Really hit the spot (we rarely have fish since my wife and daughters don't prefer it). Yum!
