re: Sacalait Recipe

Crappie piccata

This comes out really solid with crappie/sacalait. I tried a thai coconut curry, but the coconut milk had an off flavor that I didn’t care for. I found a different brand coconut milk that I think will be better, but have not tried it again. It was pretty good even though the coconut milk was sub par.
The cook off was a good time. It is a lot more crowded than I was expecting. Everything you did involved a line with a 10-20 minute wait. The 27 teams cooking didn’t have enough samples to go around, so we didn’t even get to sample a squirrel dish. We managed to get a sample of crow meat that I would compare to dove with a slightly more gamey flavor. Glad we went, but probably won’t go again. My little boy had fun and we made a weekend out of it going to Bentonville and then going on a cave tour at War Eagle Caverns. He said it was an 18/10 weekend so that is a win in my book. North West Arkansas is truly a utopia.

Tractor supply usually carries the Nutrena brand too that is $24-26 a bag.
Great show and interesting history on the cook off . Thanks for sharing!
I have decided to just go and check it out. Everyone is right, it will be a fun road trip either way. From what I have been reading it seems like a pretty big event. ACC crappie stix are giving away a bunch of fishing rods and gear to the kids for free. I just want a hat from them since I have 8 of their rods and all I have is a sticker to show for it.
Looks like in Northwest Arkansas the season is open from May 15- February 28th. Limit is also 12.
Has anyone been to this event? Seems to be a decent sized event. Wanted to see if it would be worth taking 8yr old son to since it would be a 6hr haul for us.

Highly recommend Absinthe at Caesar's. It is a burlesque comedy show and is hilarious. Don’t sit in front row unless you want to get absolutely roasted.

They are built pretty tough. I have the carry on duffle and like it a lot. Their design utilizes every nook and cranny of the bag.
He was awesome. Limited out on stripers before lunch. His dad is George Cochran, 3 time world champ bass fisherman. Pretty cool hearing the stories.

Bee removals this time of year are tough. Not saying it cannot be done, but you have a lot of factors working against you. Flow is over, bee hive population is dwindling down due to colder weather, the flow is over. They are just on barely survive mode. The bee keepers that are doing the removal are just trying to make a quick dollar. Unfortunately it usually ends up costing a lot more rhan it is worth.

I would avoid driver facing and turn the sound off. They can be invaluable in an accident especially when the other driver is claiming it is your fault. They should be standard in all vehicles especially with how litigious Louisiana is. Transcend is a good brand and what I have in my truck. There is a commercial insurance carrier in La that recommends this brand as well. Garmin makes good ones too.

Fatcalf although this one is in a sketchier area than the other three.

If his rack makes a basket, he is ready for a casket.
I just got the Ogio Gambit backpack and really like it. Has a lot of well thought put storage and easy access to everything.
Bella Fresca, Heron, Fat Calf, Zuzul, or Koi. Cannot go wrong with any of those.
We had water hammer and I got the arrestors and they didn’t do anything. I called a plumber and he installed a pressure relief tank and still had it. I ended up getting a can of spray foam and sprayed it down the holes the pipes go into in the attic. That fixed it after spending $400 on a plumber.
