Good morning Friday, It was nice to see our friend that stopped by this week. He is a young man that is also a chef and works as a bar tender sometimes as well and may soon get a management position. He works in Kansas City Mo and lives nearby in Kansas.
His family owns a small lake home not too far from us and he loves to fish. Mostly for the challenge of large cats and right now he is here for spoonbill. We met him when we first moved to the lake. I suggested for Larry to find a fishing partner as I did not want him fishing alone in the boat with all of his health concerns. So he put it out there on Facebook and that's how we met our friend.
The two of them talked for hours and then he says ok if I go fishing-of course. Not 5 minutes later he says the crappie are biting do you want some for the freezer? I love fish so Yes I say smiles. He cleaned them and fileted them and they are now in the freezer. He went back out and caught at least 10 more that he put back in the lake. He suggested that they make great tacos so will look into that.
The first photo is his before cleaning, and I took a photo of the fish in the bucket
I'm so glad you got some answers Kathy and are feeling a little better... Good luck with the weed eater.. I know the first couple times i use it in the Spring it leaves my body aching... then i slowly get used to it... So nice you got the fish... very nice of that young man... We would never eat the fish from the lakes around here... we are not big fish people either... we always throw them back , even in Arkansas... I'am buying a little cement pot for one of my Amaryllis this morning.. off of FB... $3.. good deal... Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteFB marketplace is a great place to buy items-I love that. I love fish Larry not so much-especially not the ones that are oily and smell like fish-haha
DeleteThat fish looks wonderful and what a terrific haul! I'm sorry to hear you've been ill and glad that now you have a diagnosis and are on the mend. It's good to know that the meds are working.
ReplyDeletethank you Jeanie it is better mentally to understand what is happening
DeleteSo sorry you have not been well. Cleaned fish rocks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Yes I agree cleaned fish rocks-hugs
DeleteIt sounds like you're taking your new diagnosis seriously. I'm glad. I know someone who has Barrett's esophagus, which is a per-canceerous change in the cell lining.
ReplyDeletethis has been pretty scary. I had to figure out on my own years ago that I had celiac-no gluten I am 5' 5" and I had gotten down to 100 pounds-no doctor could figure it out I finally did after lots of reading. back in the 80's no one knew about gluten free
DeleteGlad your husband has a fishing partner. It must really make him feel great to go. And sorry to read you have acid reflux. I think it's relatively common, but who would want cancer in your esophagus. It sounds terrible. Have a great weekend and good luck treating your diagnosis. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteSadly, he is still "stuck in the house and it is not able to get out the house much. His one leg just goes out on him with no reason. was really nice to visit with our friend-and his fishing parnter-aain hugs
DeleteSorry to hear about your acid reflux. Having a fishing buddy is good for your husband and what a treat to have all those fish in your freezer. Janice
ReplyDeleteIt is thank you
DeleteI don't know anything about that fish. I am not a fan of freshwater fish in general.
ReplyDeleteBut how nice to have a visit and fish in the freezer that you enjoy.
Cathy
I had never heard of crappie either-it is a very popular fish in Missouri not oily or fishy tasting
DeleteWhat a wonderful surprise visit from a friend who not only spent time, but caught and cleaned the fish. Sorry to have read about all you have been going through with not feeling well, but good that you now have info on the cause and foods to avoid. I know many people, including my husband, who have had issues with acid reflux.
ReplyDeleteThanks it was wonderful seeing our friend again is is a very kind person. I had heard of acid reflux but didn't really know that much about it-especially blocking one's breathing
DeleteCrappie is one of my top two freshwater fish! We went out this week in search of a few but were unsuccessful.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Crappie is a very popular fish here in Lake in the Ozarks. we were hoping our friend would catch a spoonbill-our favorite he was going to share if he caught one
Deleteohhh wonderful catch. I miss fishing. We did a lot in N. ID but none here. Ohhh sorry about the acid reflux, I have it as well. I have to watch what I eat.
ReplyDeleteKathy am sorry to read about your stomach issues. Glad you are getting medication. My hubby has esophagus problems too and takes medicine. One thing that has helped him is eating sauerkraut. It really eases the heartburn for him. He follows a Dr. Berg on you-tube who has good health solutions other than just medication. Bet you were happy with those fish. I am sure they will be delicious. Well take care and have a great week. Don't over-do with that weed eating. Hugs!
