I never tasted fried catfish until we went on a trip to Tennessee and noticed that there were lots of restaurants that call themselves catfish houses. I though that if there are so many of them, they must be on to something good! So we stopped in at one and ordered catfish. It was delicious! I would love to be able to cook that myself at home. Although I don’t usually fry many foods, I think that catfish must be fried to get the best flavor.
Chili Dogs and Tater Tots
Sometimes you just have a craving for a hot dog. I drove into a Sonic parking stall today and just went for t. I got a foot long chili dog, with chopped onions, tater tots, and a Route 44 cherry limeade. It was AWESOME! I love Sonic!
Comfort Food
With the prospect of being snowed inthis weekend, I’m going to make a dash to Kroger like everyone else and stock up. I know I need the regular stuff, like milk and fresh bread. But I want to have some things on hand to cook comfort food and maybe do some baking, too. Got any suggestions and recipes to share?

Christmas Panic
Everyone is hustling and getting ready for the big guy in a red suit. I have to do some more shopping, but I’m only looking for a couple more things. I spent more money than I intended, but I think everyone does.
I always have a big gift wrapping session on Christmas Eve. It usually takes an hour or two. It’s lonely but exhilarating at the same time. I’m looking forward to seeing the tree with piles of presents around it on Christmas morning!

Movies for One Buck
Last night I was getting gas at Thorntons and decided to walk over to the Redbox and see if there are any new movies out. I like the way Redbox has a large selection of current movies and some oldies but goodies, too. For only $1 a night, its a bargain for entertainment. I’m even thinking about canceling my cable – it costs too much and I don’t watch that many movies on it to make the monthly charges worth it anymore.
Allergies
What pollen or mold is in the air this week? I am so allergic to whatever is out there. I cannot breathe. I am walking around in a fog. This is really weird for me to be having a severe allergy attack. Or maybe I am just sick with some kind of bad cold or flu?

Starbucks Menu Changes
The driver through menu board at Starbucks looks different. It has been totally done over. This new menu board has photos of several delicious drinks. It is hard to know what they are going to taste like, but the photos are really nice and all of the drinks are topped with whipped cream or foamed cream and drizzles of different flavored syrups.
