I have been on a French Fries kick lately. It started on the 3rd when we went to Goldsboro to shop for books at Books-A-Million, then I stopped at the Filipino store to grab some supplies for my pantry, and my husband went to a fishing store to get whatever he needs for fishing. We ate lunch at the Cook-Out and I really loved the french fries that came with my bbq pork plate lunch. Then that night, my sister-in-law invited me to a dinner party for her friend who’s getting married. I picked french fries to go with my reuben sandwich, and I enjoyed those too. The sandwich was huge though so I saved the half for my husband and some fries that my daughter ate up on our drive home. My son stayed at my sister-in-law’s house for a sleepover with his cousins.

Anyhoooooooo, I was still craving for some fries a few days after that so I made some to go along with the deep-fried fish for this fish & chips dinner. The thing is, as much as I would love to eat up those McDonald’s french fries, we’ve been staying away from fast food so we haven’t visited any at all. It’s ok coz homemade fries are very good too and so easy to make.

This is definitely not the “authentic”

My husband is really into fishing so I’m guessing I’ll be posting catfish recipes here once or twice a month. Maybe even 3 times a month. I usually make the catfish nuggets for lunch which the family loves the day after his many fishing expeditions. Other catfish dishes that the family likes are Catfish Fillets In Creamy Coconut Milk Sauce, Catfish Spaghetti W/ Garlic-Tomato-Scallions Sauce, and catfish fillets pan-fried in butter. Sometimes my husband would save a fish for me to do whatever I want with it. These are the fishes where he leaves the skin and sometimes head, in tact. Earlier this month, he reserved one catfish (decent size), cut into steaks for me to cook however I want for my lunch.

I decided to cook it bistek style. Bistek is basically thin slices of beef marinated in soy sauce, lemon juice, and garlic sauce then cooked in oil with onions. You can do this with pork too. With the catfish steaks though, I eliminated the marinating process. Nevertheless, the fish absorbed the bistek flavors just fine.

I stocked up the pantry with cans of tuna fish early this month more than I know what to do with them. I’ve made tuna fish sandwiches of course but I needed more ideas to use them up. I ended up making tuna patties to go along with the Chicken & Mini Farfalle Pasta Salad. The tuna patties can be served and eaten burger style too by the way.

I had 9 full ziploc bags of catfish in my freezer after my husband’s fishing trip last Thursday. So far I’ve made creole catfish nuggets out of the stomach fillets. The other night I cooked up another bag of the fillets by simmering the fish in coconut milk. It was soooo good. Anything simmered in coconut milk always turns out well, right? This Catfish Fillets In Creamy Coconut Milk Sauce is not an exception.
