Catch of the week! Mike Reilly's Black Drums

So HELLO! Michael Reilly of West Beach went a kayakin' one fine day. He saw a sea turtle and caught his supper, 2 huge black drums "which were delicious for weeks". His black drums weighed in at 28 and 24 pounds.

Mike's Easy Recipe

"They were so big! We wanted then cooked thoroughly so being the good southerners we are, we cut the 4 " filets about 1.5 to 2 inches thick.
We shook the pieces in a bag with Zatarains Fish Fry and then fried in our basket fryer."
ummmmummm GOOD!

It's Sea Turtle Season!

Our "kickoff meeting" was GREAT! We had over 180 interested parties attend and it looked like everyone signed up!

May 1st we will begin patrolling Gulf Shores beautiful beaches, what a hardship eh? A stroll on the beach like any other day, except during the season May 1st thru the end of August we are also on the lookout for turtle tracks!

One Pot Meals for Justin and Jamie Parks

Facebook | Jamie Parks

My One Pot meal recipe is being created right NOW because that first grandchild of mine is 5 days past 40 weeks!!!!

Okay...for starters..

Ingredients;
1 bag dried navy beans- have been rehydrated via the "quick start method". I rinsed the beans and added 6 cups of fresh water to the pot. They are now simmering on the stove with 2 tbsp of calle de polla, dried chicken boullion. I will leave to simmer for 1/2 an hour.

Okay sorry for the delay, I have a grandson, baby boy Landen Michael Parks!7 lbs and as purty as a boy can be!

(Justin loves green olives)

So! I added some olive oil EVOO! maybe 1/4 cup.
I chopped 4 cloves of garlic because Justin and Jamie love garlic.
AND 1 onion to keep the colds at bay. (sorry baby)
Kosher salt- 2 pinches
fresh ground pepper to taste. In my case LOTS!
20 pimento stuffed green olives diced
a handful of basil chopped
3 shakes of trappeys jalapeno hot sauce

And there you go, add water to make soup or simmer it down and ladle over pasta.
Either way it's pretty a fairly healthy and fresh meal. They liked it!

Take care , Sherry
