I love to fish. ย I almost like to fish more than I like to eat fish (like the Brown Butter Almond Trout recipe below... super yum!), and that's saying a lot! ย Not that I'm good at it, but I do love it, especially fly fishing.ย  At the risk of sound super dorky, the thing I love most about it are the waders.ย  No, they're not super sexy, but it is tons of fun to stand waist deep in a river without getting wet!ย  It feels all slooshie as the water presses all the air out. So cool!

Fishing in the grass

When I was little, back in the day before TSA and airport security, my parents would pop me on a plane by myself to see my Maw-maw and Paw-paw, in Norcross, GA. ย I loved my grandparents very much, but there wasn't much to do. ย Aside from getting the mail out of the mailbox, bible summer school, and running back and forth across the lawn.ย  Oh yeah, one year I did get to play with yarn.ย  Needless to say, casting a fishing line into a bucket created a thrilling diversion. ย ย  I spent a lot of time trying to hit that bucket as a kid. ย Now that we live on a lake, I've retired the bucket. ย I still don't catch much, but I'm hooked.ย  Our friends Wes and Wanda have a place up in Canada where they enjoy the summer season and lots of fishing.

Each summer they bring home a cooler full of lake trout from Canada.ย  They had us over for dinner and...ย  OMG! ย Wanda made this butter almond trout (recipe below) that had me dredging bread all over the empty serving plate in order to get every last itty bitty morsel. ย Luckily, I remembered my manners and did not lick the plate, but I really wanted to.
