Never went in the water! Now I'm glad!!!

Thanks for the URL's, brought back some nice memories. I was 8-11 years
old when
my dad was in the Air Force down there.

Yeah....bladder cancer from a dip in a cool lake! I don't know if I'd take
little kids fishing there, unless there was a second adult to make sure
their hands never went near their mouths until they'd washed.

Now, now, Doug...it isn't nice to force reality into the picture here.

While living in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Florida, some years ago,
I was horrified by the prospect of the military's "superfund" sites
adjacent to heavily populated areas. One of them, a Naval Air Station,
was right on the St. Johns River, a waterway popular for all sorts of
recreation, including fishing and boating.

Isn't the Bush Administration planning to exempt the military from
anti-pollution regs? Won't that have a nice impact on our waterways and
fisheries?

I am a California boy and hated coleslaw until I went to the South.
Instead
of mayonnaise they fix it with a sugar and vinegar dressing. Probably
black
strap molasses for the sugar.

Marzetti makes a pretty good cole slaw dressing in a jar. But, stores never
put it right there with the other salad dressings. It's always off to the
side with the quirky stuff, with names like "Organic Sue's Stone Ground
Poppy Seed Dressing". There's also a dry mix that my ex's mother uses which
is spectacular. She says the stores keep it in the produce department.
Greenish packet. I think she just adds milk.

Harry, we were talking about a parasitic infection in lakes in Puerto Rico.
It's caused by a naturally occurring organism throughout the tropics.

I don't know about Doug's recipe, but for a store bought mix, I
strongly suggest 'House of Autry'. It's excellent by itself, but I
like to add some chopped jalapeno's.

I know people who also like to add some finely chopped onion...and/or
some fresh or frozen corn kernels.

Their seafood breading mix is
also very good. It's light and doesn't change the taste of fish
from being overloaded with spices like other brands.

Sounds like it would be great for fried okra--another purely southern
delight...why, btw, is nothing like boiled okra, which is dreadful.

The best thing to do with okra of any brand is weed killer! Now give
me a plate of biskits and gravy poured over a big slice of onion, hand
me a pepper shaker and a fork, then I'm happy...
Scotty, (the southbound yankee, hack squad engineer) and contrary to
popular thinking, no state with a border on the atlantic ocean should
be considered "south".

I understand your 'boo'boo' for not getting that recipe from your
mom, but I was wondering if you had any old cookbooks of hers or if
another family member might. It's just possible she wrote that
recipe down before she had it committed to memory.

If she cooked like my grandmother (an AL farm gal) did, it's
doubtful...'cuz Grandma was a "pinch of this" and a "handful of that"
cook. One of my uncles was determined to get her "recipe" for cornbread
(REAL southern cornbread, not the gawdawful stuff that most yankees and
city folk eat that isn't even close)...the only way to do it was by
following her around the kitchen each time he was around when she made
it, grabbing and measuring her pinches and handfuls till he came up with
the average amounts. Then he'd make some to find out how close it was to
hers. It took him several years of doing that, but he finally nailed it
and then gave the recipe to everyone in the family.

You'd have a hard time convincing anyone in VA, SC or GA of that. Otoh,
FL is arguable. :)

Hope it doesn't live in Puerto Rican rum.

When I was a kid, my dad would take me fishing at one of the fresh water
lakes
in Puerto Rico. We would catch a washtub full of catfish and have a fish
fry for
the neighborhood that afternoon. My mother would fix hush puppies to go
with the
catfish. They were the best hp's I've ever had, and I've not been able to
duplicate them. I can't even come close!

Question: Who has a fantastic hush puppy recipe? Next, what is the recipe.
My
mom died several years ago, and one of my biggest boo-boos was my failure
to get
that recipe.

Help!

Here is s pretty good recipe. Hometown cookin from Mandarin FL.

2 1/2 cups yellow corn meal
1-1/8 cup King Auther brand, stone ground all-purpose flour.
3 jumbo eggs
1 cup of medium chopped (small chunks) fresh sweet onion (Vidalia Onion
if you can get it.)
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp or less red pepper. (optional)
1 cup buttermilk (you can also use plain milk or 1/2n1/2.
4 heaping tablespoons sugar (or to taste. do not exceed 6 tblsp)
3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt. I use Lowreys.
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper blend.
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 teaspoon baking soda (DO NOT OVER USE BAKING SODA)
1/8 cup bacon grease. This is a big key to
the flavor. In a pinch you can use other types
of cooking oil, but bacon is my favorite.

You also need some type of cooking oil to deep fry
these in. I usually use Crisco oil although peanut oil
and olive oil have no cholesterol.

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add your
eggs, oil, and buttermilk. Stir it all up until
the flavors are thoroughly blended.

Turn your cooker on medium high heat. When it's
hot you can drop your hush puppies in using a
table spoon. Allow them to brown on all sides.
They should begin floating when done, but if they
don't, don't overcook them.

Serve with some fresh seafood or southern fried chicken.
