Cool section....now I gotta dig out my recipe notebook.

Just did this at home with fresh-caught striper, but any robust white fish will do.
Take rice flour and mix in a tablespoon of garlic powder and a tablespoon of southwest rub...something with salt, paprika, red pepper, etc. and add a tablespoon of dried parsley flakes.

Squirt the fish with lemon juice, dredge it in the flour mix, then into egg, then into the flour mix and into a pan with a little butter and olive oil. You know the rest.

Something easy we make is garlic pineapple teriyaki skewers. Cut some chicken breast or thigh meat and put them on the skewers. I use yoshidas teriyaki sauce and add diced garlic with bits of pineapple. Let it marinate over night. Put them on the grill and brush more on more sauce as needed. Goes great with rice and a green salad

My late aunt's holiday cheeseball, only made for Thanksgiving-Christmas and Easter. Hard to believe it's been two years since I last had this, and a year and a half since she passed.

Sharp Cheddar Garlic Cheese Ball

2x 8oz cream cheese, softened
2 sticks butter or margarine
2 jars Kraft Old English Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread (MUST be this specific cheese!)
1 tbsp granulated or minced garlic
3 tbsp vinegar
optional: chopped walnuts, grated cheese (DB note: Try with bacon bits instead!)

Cream together softened butter and cream cheese until well mixed. Add in jars of cheese spread and mix well. Last add vinegar and garlic. (Aunt Linda's note: “I put the garlic in the vinegar while I blend the cheeses.”)

Roll in ball or log. Then roll in chopped walnuts or granulated cheese. Batch can be divided into smaller servings. (Aunt Linda's note: “I usually make 1/2 recipe but the same amount of garlic and vinegar.”)

Maybe make one each way. It takes balls to show up at a party with a pair like that.

Well, since I have a birthday coming up and some of my closest friends can't share the cake because it's even worse for squirrels, I brewed up these little morsels for both two-legged and four.

Take raw walnut halves, generously coat in "natural" peanut butter, then roll in chopped-nuts ice-cream topping.

Squirrels are for gravy.....

[Diamondback]

Random ones in your AO, sure. Not the ones on MY property that have demonstrated unique personalities, made themselves useful to us (or the pups thereof) and entrusted themselves to my aegis. Seriously, the amount of times I've stormed away from the keyboard and out the door fuming over the latest idiocy from one moron or another at the office and Lefty or Mumsey's been there ready to scramble up my leg with a fuzzball hug even with no peanuts in sight...

I generally live by a rule of critters that make themselves actively helpful or act like family I'll protect, critters that just mind their own business I'll live-and-let-live as long as they don't mess with the first group or try to hunt on my land. A couple belligerent raccoons that just turned up have me looking for an SOT to start the paperwork on a can for my .22...

You ain't been bit yet?  Better clip any males...cause unless they are way unlike southern squirrels it's coming. 

Good news on the cans is the really short time for approval now.  Most excellent. 

But I think Peg would agree with me...they make a nice gravy.
