Pretty Fall Foliage - Fried Catfish & Rice for Dinner - by Sunscape

I managed to find a few colorful Maple trees this fall and will share them with you today along with the Catfish dinner. ;-)

Now that my gardening season has come to an end for this year, I can catch up on posts that had been put on the side burner. This one is frying Catfish that my brother brought me from Virginia. Every time he visits he brings me goodies to make.

Firstly, I make sure the fish is patted dry with a paper towel before preparing it to fry.

This is a classic recipe, seasoned breadcrumbs, salt & pepper, some Old Bay seasoning and beaten eggs for dipping. It only takes a few minutes to make, and it is simply delicious.

Once the oil is hot, fry the fish on each side for a few minutes until golden brown.
Let it rest on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil, then serve.

I had some leftover Teriyaki Rice and a fresh cucumber to accompany the Catfish. I like to drizzle fresh lemon juice on my fish; hubby likes tartar sauce. Which do you prefer?

Do you have a favorite way to fry your fish? I would love to try a different way next time I want a fish fry.

These two Maple trees were so beautiful in front of my niece's home. I wish I had this type of Maple tree in my yard to enjoy its beauty every year. The one I have only turned brown and is the last tree to drop its leaves.

I have no idea what type of shrub this is, but I had to take a picture of the purple berries. It is along the driveway where we take Mika for grooming. I wonder if they are edible, I bet someone will let me know.

I loved this Zinnia with a bit of scattered red throughout the petals. I saved seed from this one and hope that it will produce the same results next summer.

The white Hydrangea bush next to the pond had beautiful coloring on the leaves the colder it got the prettier it became. This week it is cold and rainy so no more porch time for Mika and me. and it is time to transition being indoors.
