Walking in a winter wonderland. I had extended family posting videos using their inflatable pool rafts for sleds.
It was slushy yesterday then froze again overnight. We're supposed to get near 40° today. Will probably be warm enough to melt it. Maybe.
We’re about to head outside and get one more snow football game in.
We're still covered pretty good. It will take a while for it to melt completely.

If the catfish you are getting tastes "muddy" whoever is preparing it is doing it wrong.
This is what it looks like when I make it, and everyone loves it:
Well that is my point. It takes soaking it in milk for an extended time to remove that taste. Or at, least, that is my understanding. It's not like opening the package, coating it with olive oil and whatever seasoning you want, and throwing in the grill/smoker/pan/whatever.If the catfish you are getting tastes "muddy" whoever is preparing it is doing it wrong.

It really doesn't.
I had some catfish skeptic angler friends and the last time we were up fishing in Wisconsin, I mixed in some catfish filets with the walleye filets - prepared them exactly the same - straight from the fileting table, rinsed with a little saltwater, breaded and fried - and 2 of the 3 could tell no difference and the 3rd actually preferred the fried catfish.
It's a flaky, white meat - just like walleye and crappie.
I guarantee I can make a catfish meal you'd love.
So, have you just heard about all of the effort required, or have you just put some filets in black iron and cooked them or grilled them like other fish?
I often use cast iron, olive oil, pepper, and lemon.
Sure, we prefer mahi, tuna , or salmon, but I am a cat fan for sure.

I have only made it once. I did the milk thing. I didn't like it. I have had it a few times in restaurants and it was okay, but not as good tasting to me as other fish on the menu.
Hmm, maybe I have only had it made by people who didn't know what they were doing. Like me.It really doesn't.

See my edited post above. I agree that other fish taste better.
Even catfish from the Des Moines River in August?It really doesn't.

If a waterway is polluted I would not eat fish from it. Not sure if it would impact the taste though.

Your milk soak probably made the meat mushy!
Another great way to cook them is to season a filet from like Hy-Vee and put it in the smoker. Delicious.
The snow is about gone in all of the exposed areas. Still hanging around in the shade.
I know Iowa folks won't understand it, but damn, as a Florida kid, this was cool. I'm sorry to see it go. My grandkids made memories that will last a lifetime. These last few days will be talked about for years to come.

My backyard faces east into the park, so this little fella should be in the shade. We'll see how long he lasts.
I didn't look back through the thread to see if it was posted, but TPD pepper-sprayed the crowd that had gathered in CollegeTown a couple of nights ago because they didn't like the college kids throwing snowballs at their car.
There's a video of it in the linked story.
Is there a statute of limitations on throwing stuff at cops? I may or may not have been involved in some egg wars in the early 80s between the ATOs, KAs, and SAEs, when all three had houses across Tennessee Street from the business school. There was a narrow road that ran between the houses; about once a year a big egg war would break out between us. One evening, an FSU cop came through and scolded everyone through his loudspeaker, instructing us that we were NOT to throw any more eggs!!! It was very quiet for a second, then someone launched an egg at his car from the SAE house. That quickly turned into an absolute downpour of eggs pelting the vehicle; he didn't bother with the pepper spray, instead deciding to haul ass out of there & not come back

I'm pretty sure my heater has run more in the first 3 weeks of 2025 than it's run in the last 5 years combined.
I’ve never bought a gun to a snow ball fight. Sister Christina once made me write 500 times “ I will not throw snowballs on the school grounds “ a la Bart Simpson…
Not sure where Matt is getting his info. It was 13° with a wind chill of 6° last Wednesday.

If you are feeling guilty, we can arrange to spray pepper spray in your eyes.I didn't look back through the thread to see if it was posted, but TPD pepper-sprayed the crowd that had gathered in CollegeTown a couple of nights ago because they didn't like the college kids throwing snowballs at their car.
