(5/22)

Ok, in case you don’t know, it’s really hard for me to get up in the morning … really hard. So yes, breakfast was missed and replaced with a bottle of water and a chocolate cream filled cupcake and summertime Oreos. That definitely got my blood sugar up.

When lunchtime rolled around, I was back at Dillard’s cafeteria. I love seafood, so when I saw fried catfish and baked catfish on the menu, nearly lost my mind. What graced my plate was fried catfish, baked Cajun catfish, mac ‘n cheese and cabbage.

I was like a kid in the candy store when I carried my plate from the line to the table. I was ready to go to work. First was the mac ‘n cheese … it earned two thumbs down. It was so disappointing for the first thing to touch your taste buds to be so bad. It almost hurts. Next up: the baked Cajun catfish, which was one sprinkle of seasoning away from being over-seasoned. I enjoyed every bite, though. It picked up the slack from the mac ‘n cheese. Along with broccoli, I’m a big fan of cabbage. I don’t know why, I just am. As I imagined, the cabbage did not disappoint. (Yes!) Now, to bring it all home, before I even thought about eating the fried catfish, I have to get the right sauce. I don’t have a name for it yet, but sauce can’t be bought, it has to be made. Take some tartar sauce and ketchup, and mix it together. Don’t knock it until you try it. I cut up my fish into a few pieces, and dipped them into my sauce…it was like a cherry to a sundae … perfect.

Due to two photo assignments, I missed dinner. I will be in the French Quarter tonight, so we shall see what food comes from that. Until next time, I’m out of here like a fat kid in dodge ball.
