To add another personal story here: My partner doesn't care for fish much. So the cat fish recipe is one of the few he likes. (tho he prefers it with chicken cutlets)
I'm not wild about catfish either, but do make it occasionally. My parents had a cat fish pond in my youth...and occasionally we'd get a 'fish kill'. Nothing can put off your cat fish than going out in row boat and skimming off dead floating cat fish from the surface of the pond. Yet somehow I survived..and like catfish now..it took awhile tho.

What I find so admirable about Sam, in addition to all the virtues already mentioned is this -- you have a stunning intuitive grasp of food that takes you beyond recipes, to bringing out the very nature of the food and showing us how.

Thanks for the Honor! I'm blushing. I really to get a kit and repair my old vita mix. I need some new gaskets for it as I transplanted the blade from the other stainless container (with the spigot) to the broken one..and it leaks. Powerful circa 70's model...the lights dim when the motor turns on.
