*** Quoting Glen Jamieson from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***

 CS> Don's not used to using mullet as other than bait <g>.

GJ> I grew up during the Depression with mullet being the main fish dish,
GJ> as that was what the Greek fisherman used to bring around, selling doo
GJ> to door.  As he had always caught it that morning it was always fresh.

I'm thinking thats Don's association or close to it.  (BTW, answering out of
order, I have to free the computer for Charlotte's homework)


 CS> We filled the center of the mullet with washed spinach (Kangkoon),
 CS> shmenji and enoki mushrooms (Shmenji are a very close taste match to
 CS> button mushrooms while enoki are the long thin pallid tasting ones with
 CS> tiny button heads). We oiled the outside and then lightly coated it
 CS> with a mix of blackened fish seasoning (a prepared mix, mostly black
 CS> pepper and mixed dried chiles), a little calamansi powder (just a touch
 CS> for zing).  A little more oil inside and a few small dabs of butter
 CS> plus some sections of meekan (Mandarin orange, very close to a small
 CS> tangerine and in OZ, I saw them or an extremely close cousin labeled as
 CS> asian tangerine at Walmart).  We baked it whole at 400F for 15 mins and
 CS> it was just right.  It all got eaten as we had Elises trio here that
 CS> night for dinner.  Sides were a big batch of rice and a tureen of 2

GJ> That sounds wonderful!  With a fish that size it would be easy to pick
GJ> the flesh from the bones, Asian style.

It was and these kids have been here long enough they do not mind such.  We
have lots of napkins and you just finger pull it off the bones and if desired,
dip then eat.

My napkins arent fancy.  Old tshirts cut up and such which charlotte gets to
practice type-die on than washed, but hey, I can set a stack of 10 by each kid
this way.  We just toss'em in the washing machine when done eating <g>.

Having to walk all the groceries home, makes you realize paper napkins are not
only espensive, but a waste of cart-space <g>.  (Hey Charlotte, want a pack of
napkins or a box of Oreos?)

GJ>     1/2    Granny Smith apple

I miss those, but the green ones we get here are not bad.

GJ>       1 ts Belachan

Umm.  I forgot again.  What is that?
