My niece (who's old enough to know better) challenged me to make a potato themed dinner (sorry, crappy cell phone pics)
Mashed potato bar (in the martini glass), French Fried Potatos, Potato Salad, Ham & Cheese Potato Cassarole, Potato Latkes (pancakes) with sourcream and green onions
And for desert, Maple Pecan Potato Cheesecake garnished with a Chocolate Dipped Potato Chip. Potatos were diced small, fried in butter, carmelized with maple syrup and stirred in to the cheescake batter. The cheesecake was finished with a maple-pecan sauce.

Caught a Halibut for dinner.
Cooked it up Cajun style, blackened.
With a shrimp/hollandase topper
That included Asparagus, rice and fresh green beans.

Went rock fishing on Friday at the Channel Islands and did well.
Decided to try something new, Red Snapper Veracruz style on the BBQ. Stuffed with herbs and spices.
Started with Lamb Pops and BBQ Shrimp.
Great dinner.

Mr Dustycajun have you made a Fish stock or a Veloute fish stock out of
these fish you catch?
I make these stocks and they are very good.
The only thing is I can't get fresh fish fins and heads you need for this.
But you would be able to make great stocks for stews, chowders ect with the fresh fish
you catch all the time.
These stocks can be frozen and used later as well.

Buzzy bought a new deep fryer for his Chop so I wanted to try deep fried cheescake.
Made crustless cheesecake in a rectangle pan and cut it into chunks. Wrapped it in uncooked tortillas and used a little water to seal the edges. Made some plain, some with chocolate, and some with raspberry jam.
They were pretty tasty. They helped partially redeem me from the fact the my Donga Punch Sorbet failed to freeze! I don't know if I put too much rum in and it lowered the freezing point or if the freezer wasn't cold enough after the trip to San Diego?

Mike, that looks very yummy! The big thing down here this year at football games and fairs is deep fried honey buns...or as I like to call it "Cardiac Arrest".

In my continuing efforts to perfect the "Hamburger"
I submit this: Bacon Pepperjack Burger
Sauteed Onions, Shredded "Pepperjack" cheese & cooked "Applewood Smoked Bacon"
all folded into Sirloin Chuck, BBQed & topped with even more "Pepperjack"
on a toasted sesame seed bun.

Bacon AND Pepperjack - WINNER! WINNER!
I just if all the hype comes true about the pork shortage, bacon will be the upscale garnish of the future - like truffles or caviar are now
