Well you should know... it's been the coldest here that it's been in 3 years as of last night. It got down to 38 degrees. My smoker was able to battle through the blast of arctic air.

Dude..you could add the high temps and low temps of the last few days here and not even equal 38°


Low Saturday -9
High Saturday 19
Low Sunday -3
High Sunday 16


And that is just air temp..wind chill in the negative teens
 
Get some Cedar Key FL oysters...

My spice mix ...

Make this ahead of time and it makes way more than you need but you can save it for at least 3 months at a time.

2.5 TBS paprika

1 TBS salt

2 TBS garlic powder

1 TBS black pep

1 TBS red pep flakes

1 TBS oregano

1 TBS thyme

1 TBS onion powder


I then mix it with at least 3 TBS of this and 3 or 4 minced cloves of garlic and olive oil...

Coat both sides recklessly... you'll have to make several bowls worth of the spice mix to cover both sides of the fish.

With a cast iron grate heated to 400 - 450 ... blaze that fish for about 3 minutes per side.

My sons like to eat this as a sandwich with lettuce & tomato, onion, and a sesame seed bun. Like it is or with honey mustard.

I actually have a great one that I found off the net for Chicken noodle soup from scratch - only difference is the chicken.

http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/easy-chicken-noodle-soup/224fc2d5-fbca-4507-91d5-83a2751b8f0c

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 medium green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
2 medium carrots, chopped (1 cup)
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 cups uncooked egg noodles (4 oz)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 dried bay leaf
5 1/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from two 32-oz cartons)

only difference is the with the chicken i grill it first and season it with the Sweet 'n Smokey Rub from Mcckormick, BBQ from Mcckormick, and Garlic Salt (haven't tried to brine before hand yet, may do that in the next day or 2)..

That difference was huge ^^ - it was so good my g/f and I the first time we tried the recipe could not stop eating it, despite being full...( when i grill i do it in bulk so i usually have frozen chicken breasts on hand to do different recipes with)

Holy shit man, that looks heavenly. I think I can almost smell it through the screen! And that spice concoction sounds righteous too. I'm going to have to copy cat that one.
I'd love to get the hell out of the tundra and make my way down to the coast. That's real livin' right there man.
