Good Friends

Okay, so I get up this morning and go through my usual routine.Turn on computer,turn on coffee maker,let dogs out,go pee...log in, let the dogs in,pour coffee, go to Facebook. And I have a message from one of my oldest and dearest friends.In fact I figured it up And I have known her for exactly 98 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 10 hours and  55 seconds. (Give or take a year.)  Okay so here is the message:
    

"Just about any and all of the casinos are hiring, u just have to join the union first for the privilege of the jobs!!!! culinary does the cooking and housekeeping teamsters do the office work, laundry, and gardening on the strip. Teamsters do all and I mean ALL THE VALET PARKING. imagine if u got $1.00 per car u parked and them boys park about 500 a night how much kick back money u could make in a year??? If u are serious we will help u as much as we can to find a job and a place in a good neighborhood too. Just let us know when u are coming cause we are going to Texas in February to see momma and she don't know anything yet.lol hehehehehhe"

 Okay what a wonderful offer but as I was reading I thought to myself, is this written in code? Must join the "union." UNION??? Is that in all actuality * Looks to the right, then to the left, Lowers voice to a barely audible whisper    "Must see Ray Liotta"  HMMM... Culinary does the cooking? Unique concept, why have I never thought of that?  Housekeeping does the Gardening? (Code for Uncle Sal is missing?) And "Kick Back" from the Valet Boys? Does that really mean *You go Cougar? Sounds interesting, Okay Good Fellas see ya soon. "Don't worry about it."

Pleased to meet you, can you guess my name?

         For those of you that don't know me, I thought perhaps I should  introduce myself. My name is Faga Charlene Deaton Powers Clark Sealey Bradford.  Since this is entirely to long to place upon any dotted line that might require my signature, I usually go by Charlene.                                                                                                                                                                         I was fired from my place of employment three months ago. I still haven't figured out why. I'm sure somebody knows and I wish they'd tell me. And since at the moment I'm unemployed I thought it might be fun to start a BLOG. Well for myself any way. I'm sure any audience I might have will use this in lieu of sleeping medication.                                        Okay, so from now on I will have a morning talk show of my own. Please feel free to ask any questions. Use any  recipes, child rearing, dog training, cat kicking, house cleaning tips that I happen to speak about. I'll also be testing products, restaurants, businesses and giving reviews. Letting you know what's going on in and around the Asheville area. I'll also test and promote (or not as I see fit) local small businesses. So bear with me and hopefully this will turn into something you enjoying reading as your days start. So anyway thanks for checking this out. Cheers.      

Preparation Time: 15 minutes	Level: Moderate
Cook Time: 40 minutes	Serves: 4

Crunchy, battered catfish fillets have jumped out of the Louisiana backwaters to become a national favorite, thanks in large part to the Cajun cooking craze that started in the '80s. Here, the fillets are coated in a spicy melange of cornflakes and pecans and baked for a traditional yet surprisingly healthy take on this bayou favorite.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
• 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco, or 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste , Tabasco
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 cups cornflakes
• 1/2 cup pecan pieces
• 1 pound catfish fillets, about 1 inch thick, cut into 4 portions

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Blend buttermilk, hot sauce (or cayenne), oregano, chili powder and garlic salt in a shallow dish. Pulse cornflakes in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Transfer to a large plate. Pulse pecans in the food processor until coarsely chopped; mix the pecans with the cornflake crumbs. (Alternatively, place cornflakes in a sealable bag and crush with a rolling pin; chop nuts with a knife.)
3. Dip each catfish fillet in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the cornflake mixture, coating both sides. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the catfish for 25 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.
