It wasn't really all that hot today, but it's definitely getting toward the summertime humidity. There was a long line of thunderstorms this morning, but it disappeared somewhere between Nashville and her. Then about 10:30 tonight, the thunder and rain started. I won't check the gauge until morning, but the weather guy said places were getting 1-2" of rain very quickly. It's supposed to storm on Saturday, too. And, of course, I have to pick up some paintings from an exhibit. Oh, well - we'll make it work.
There was another program on 'noodling' - Okie Noodlin' 2 - on our PBS station tonight. Another name for this is handfishing. The people covered in this story are from Missouri and Oklahoma. But what they do is wade along riverbanks, looking for holes in which catfish have made nests and lay their eggs. The handfishers then stick their hands in the holes until the fish (the bigger the better) grab their hands, and they grab the fish's lip and pull (wrestle?) it out of the hole and out of the water. What a HOOT! this is. Just in case you don't believe me, CLICK HERE for the official web site. Be sure to check the photos.

What a coincidence - last night (Thursday here) I was watching a program on TV where Gordon Ramsey was shown how to noodle for Catfish.
They caught some beauties. He was shown how to bleed and skin them, and then he spiced and cooked up the fillets super quick in a super hot wok. They all ate slices rolled up in lettuce leaves - looked delicious.
Care and huggles, Michelle and a snoring Zebbycat (he's happy!)
