Interesting. They are opening one in Burlington next year, last state in the country to "get" a Target store. We were also last to get a Walmart and a Costco. Not enough people to make it worth their while I guess.

I think ours is closing because you can shop there safely only if you have a concealed weapon permit

Here's my 1st (and therefore, biggest) fish! And yes, I am wearing gloves...not up for sticking my bare hand in a dead fish yet.

Man that is a really big fish, and beautiful - looks pretty with your coat and car How did you catch him?? Fly Fishing??

First fish, last fish, whatever - that's a nice fish ! After a bit you'll ditch the gloves, but be careful of holding catfish - barbels ? and nasty little sandpaper teeth.

Bet you already know this, but if you ever get barbed by a catfish....scratch some of the goop off their body and rub it in the area. It neutralizes it

Morning all.

When I was young, my mom would put breadcrumbs over the trout eyes when she baked them. She ssaid it was important to leave the head on while cooking, but not important to see their eyes.

She would have to place a whole loaf over the head for me

I think I'd have to do like @sunflour and cover it up with a napkin...don't want dinner staring back at me DH has already cleaned these guys up, so I won't have to worry about the eyeball thing.

Removing the head is the best. So, how are y'all going to cook them?

He is a big pretty fish, thanks! We were using lures yesterday, no live bait involved (partly because I can't stand to touch the stuff and partly because DH thinks it's more 'sporting' to catch without it).

I think we're going to fire up the smoker and cook them that way...a couple of trout won't take long and they're really good that way.

Sounds yummy!

Thanks DMC!

Poor Hattie hasn't done any smoldering today has she? Poor thing, I never would have thought that would happen!

Pie anyone? One of the older guys that works with Quinton gave me some fabulous apples so I made him a pie and am going to deliver it shortly. I have to go to town for a haircut then I’m bringing a carpet cleaner home and cleaning them...ugh! I get new furniture Thursday and it hasn’t been done for years so it’s time. It will probably take the rest of the day.

Hey Debby! No bright sunshine today. I’m just glad it didn’t make it to the skin. I can’t believe it could hapoen either.

Oh my, carpet cleaning is hard work. We have wood floors, with area rugs. But the floors are not as nice to the feet as padded carpet. Hope it goes smoothly for you!
