Don’t open that door!

As in a Stephen King, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St., you get the idea.

Let me explain. One of my food mentors P&B’s mother/mother-in-law (my grand-aunt), used to keep all kinds of “different” foods and ingredients.

One day, she had me look for something in the freezer. Most things were wrapped in newspaper, then in plastic bags, requiring me to feel and sometimes open the wrapping. One such wrapping contained a boned out pig’s head, kinda reminded me of Hannibal Lechter (before I even heard of Hannibal Lechter). That picture was etched in my mind for a while (still kinda is in a way). Ugh!

So on to the current day. The Cat brings home salmon heads and tails  from The Cat’s mother (where she gets them from, I don’t ask).

Watcha lookin at?

The Cat’s been making fish head soup, thought I’d try something different. A sprinkle of salt, a splash of Shao Xing wine, wrapped ’em in foil and threw the packet in the toaster oven for about an hour.

Sorry, no “after” pic, looked kinda gross. The Cat liked the change of pace. The Mouse? Not a fish head enthusiast. but, better than dealing with the soup.

Will be doing this the next time. Still got several heads and tails left. So, come to our house? Don’t open  the freezer door. Unless you like. Hee hee.

Enjoy? Eat well (at least)
