No kiddin'.... I sure did miss it. Catching frogs with a cane pole
and a artificial fly is almost diabolical.

Naw, just an efficient way of harvesting frogs.

BTW, haven't been fishing in probably close to 50 years, but still
have those fly rods squirreled away. They were my fathers.

I have one that is about 90 years or so old.

Just getting broken in I see.G

It is one that has the "fryer" lid. The lid has the hanging teats
inside it to redistribute the moisture and grease back onto the
cooking victim inside.

My Dutch oven has a lid like that.

My chicken fryer has a flat lid which makes it suitable for flap jacks.

My other one is my first personal cast pan,
and it is proudly serving after 40 years.
(How in the hell could I have had that all that long...)

Time flies when you are having fun.

Ever soak it in buttermilk, just like chicken?

Never have. You? I am always up for something new in the kitchen.
Is this a recommendation?

Straight from Emeril.

Helps take out the strong taste.

One of my old compadres turned me to Zatarains after I was complaining
of not being able to get the "fine" grained cornmeal coating on my
fish. As much as I experimented with ratios of flour and cornmeal, I
couldn't get it. He gave me some Z's to try, and it worked great.
The secret to that style of coating? The Zatarain's is ground much,
much finer than cornmeal.

I'll have to check it out, but this is SoCal.

They have some strange tastes in food.

Lew... I'm still working over the cane pole and fly business. I'm
getting a picture of a frog dangling on the end of pole with a hook in
his mouth.

Wicked.

Think of it as a jib crane for harvesting frogs.
