Cousins One and All Soaking the chicken in the hot water is almost like like par boiling something. In fact you can put if on the stove on the lowest heat there is. If you are in a hurry and want to take less time. Bring it to a rolling boil (no more than a minute) Use your thongs rollit in your flour mixture then fry works the same way. Potato Salad 6 large potatos 1/2 c of mayo 1/2 onion 3 large hard boiled eggs 1/4 cup sweet realish (dill if you don't care for sweet) 1 teaspoon of salt Cut your potatos in bite size pieces, cook till done but firm. Add the rest of the ingredients plus a dash of mustard. Don't mash your potatos. and you will be able to taste every flavor that has been added. We like to add bacon to set it apart from other salads. To do that youcook your bacon to the crisp and crumble point (about 6 pieces) Crumble it into your mixture and enjoy. I'll be glad to fix catfish also. Do you want just regular deep fried or cajun style? I see I 'll have to bake those pies also. Hey Honey crack and shell some more pecans. and oh by the way whats your preference for beer keg or draft? Southern Pecan Pie 3 eggs 1 cup corn syrup 2/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup margine 1 teasspoon vanilla Peans Mix your eggs untill frothy add the other ingredients except pecans. Take three 9 in deep dish pastry pie shells , cover bottoms with pecan halves and fill with pie mixture. Cook for 25 minutes or till firm to the touch at 350 degrees. Hum good.
