Hi Shawn,

 RH> The coating probably soaked up just enough of the oil so that the
 RH> fish stuck. I've seen similar, different times with our well seasoned
 RH> cast iron cookware.

 SH> In hindsight, I think possibly the fish was still frozen a bit in the
 SH> middle which would have introduced extra water.

Sounds logical. That'll give you an excuse to try it again. (G)


 RH> I'd probably just buy the slivered almonds. (G)

 SH> We have the whole ones for snacking on so this was a recipe I didn't
 SH> need to buy anything for. :)

We've got raw almonds on hand. I think it's the raw form that Steve uses
for making almond milk--that's one of his kitchen projects that I have
nothing to do with except maybe putting some on to soak for him. Every
so often Steve will toast up a pan full to chop up to use on ceral, ice
cream and such like. I don't care for nuts in a lot of things so he adds
them to taste in a number of things.

 RH> were fairly newly married, I bought a 16 qt stainless steel bowl.
 RH> That has been one of the best kitchen items I've ever bought as it
 is RH> so versatile.)

 SH> I can see using one of those a lot for myself as well.

If I remember rightly, it was either a Gibson's store or Roses store.
Roses was a NC chain, similar to Wal-Mart. Most of them have closed now;
I know of one in Cary and one in Henderson. I don't know if Gibson's was
a chain or not; they had changed their name to Farm Fresh some time
around 1980. Any way. that bowl has been used for anything from bread
making (I could mix up 8 loaves worth of dough at a time in it.) to
fruits/vegetables for canning to just about anything food related that a
bowl that size works best. We were sort of limited in what we could take
to Germany with the Army (weight allowance had to be met) but I made
sure that bowl was part of the kitchen stuff that went over.
