No till notes 'Fish and Mud'

Every once in a while I’m fortunate enough to catch a few fish for dinner. I’ve always felt the best way to cook a good batch of pan fish is to fry them up in some hot oil with a good batter on them. My wife Denise will often comment that the house smells like fish after one of my fried fish dinners. I always tell her that a house that smells like fried fish is a good thing.

I’ll also occasionally tromp into the kitchen with mud on my boots. Denise will often point out to me that I could take my boots off outside. I’ll often remind her that mud on the kitchen floor is a good thing....
