In this crazy Polar Vortex of a winter, I think we all need a little something to warm up our bones. Yesterday/last night, our temperatures dropped 34 degrees. Not dropped to 34 degrees, but the temp dropped BY 34 degrees back into the 20s. That's a shocker down in the deep South in March with "Spring" arriving in about 15 days! I've put together a group of my bone warming recipes in this post. Choose what looks good to you and click the link below the picture...

Mama's Catfish Stew

Usually, I serve this over rice, but this was my plate,

and I didn't want the added starch.

I just ate the catfish and sauce. :-)

This is typical Judy Bradham Elliott!!! LOL

I found this recipe in Mama’s handwriting on a piece of torn notebook paper (about 2 inches) grocery list on one side…no title, and directions on the back. Click on the pictures for a clearer view, if you'd like! :-)  This is the only catfish stew recipe she had…but it works. It is perfection!

This is the grocery list for a dinner party...

                            Catsup........... Bread........... Bacon
                            Mustard.......... Drinks.......... Butter
                            Onions........... Coffee.......... Sweets
                            Butts Meat**... Sugar
                            Rice............... Cream
                            Salt................ Milk
                            Pepper........... Eggs

Cook Butts Meat until almost done. Add cut up onion. Cook. Drain off grease. Add fish. Add catsup to cover fish real good. Add 2 tablespoons mustard. Add salt and pepper and one cup water. Don't stir.* Twist pot. Simmer until done. Serve over rice.

and on the back... instructions for the catfish stew.

* Don't stir the pot, because it will break up the fish.

**Use Fatback or Bacon in place of the Butts Meat if you can't readily find it.
