Chicken, you can fix them so many ways. Lately I like my chicken skinless. And the good part is that it’s healthier, so I am told :), and this one doesn’t take you know time to grill, and you only need 3 ingredients.
Catfish are not beautiful to look at, with their odd whiskers and big, gaping mouths, but beauty is not important when it comes to choosing fish that is flavorful. Catfish have skin that is similar to that of an eel, which is thick, slippery, and strong. All catfish should be skinned before cooking. The easiest method to skin a catfish is to nail the head of the dead fish to a board, hold on to its tail, and pull the skin off with pliers.
Channel catfish are farmed in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Mississippi is the world’s leading producer of pong-raised catfish. Of all the catfish grown in the United States, 80 percent comes from Mississippi, where more than 102,000 acres are devoted to catfish farms. Humphreys County, Mississippi, produces about 70 percent of the catfish consumed in the United States, and has over 30,000 acres under water. The town of Belzoni, in Humphreys County, is called the “Catfish Capital of the World.” Each spring the streets of down town Belzoni are transformed into a large carnival during the World Catfish Festival. Due in part to its reputation as a family oriented event, the World Catfish Festival has received several awards including Top 100 Events in North America and Top 20 Events of the Southeast.

I could not find a lot about the history of Foo Yong Hai, but I believe it must have had traveled through a long and winding path to become the way it is now. But Nevertheless during its spread in Western Europe Foo Young Hai has gradually changed and was adapted as a more western style omelet with fillings inside, while in Canton, the standard way of cooking fried Foo Yong eggs is actually mix the ingredients (normally Cantonese BBQ pork strips and other vegetables) with the beaten egg yolk before frying. Apart from that, I was quite curious about the fillings since “hai” in Cantonese means crab. The Foo Yong Hai that I know mostly uses prawns, shrimps or chicken. Either way it’s a delicious dish. In this recipe I used chicken.
Deep Fried Turkey has become very popular in the deep south. The deep frying process seals the outside. The deep fried turkey is anything but greasy, actually it’s very juicy. About ten years ago fried turkeys received national press and caught the attention of mainstream America
Safety Tips: Remember you’re dealing with gallons of dangerously hot oil, so make sure there are no kids or pets running around. And you want to wear some old shoes that you can slip out of easily and long pants just in case you do spill some oil on you. Do this outside, don’t make an attempt to do this indoors. Place fryer on level dirt or grassy area. Avoid frying on wood decks, which could catch fire. For safety reasons have a fire extinguisher ready
This is one of those recipes you see on tv and you just have to make it yourself. This one was Bobby Flay’s throw down with Father Leo. Just looking at the show made my mouth water. After long searching on the internet I found Father Leo’s Fusion Fajita’s. There is only one thing I cheated on with this recipe, I didn’t make the guacamole, bought it from the produce section freshly made. Next time when I have the time I will make it myself.
