The Best Places In DFW To Feed On Catfish

Texans don’t need much of an excuse to chomp down on catfish.

Residents of the Lone Star State eat more of the whiskered bottom-feeders than anyone else, according to the Catfish Institute. The group was founded by farmers in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi — the states where catfish is most commonly grown to satiate the appetites of people in Texas and across the South.

"It’s just a regional taste. I don’t know if I’d call it a delicacy, but people grew up with it and really enjoy it," said Larry Richardson, co-owner of the Flying Fish, a casual eatery with locations in west Fort Worth, Dallas, Little Rock, Ark. and other cities.

August is National Catfish Month, according to the institute, which touts the health and economic benefits of catfish farming. So as far as I’m concerned, now is a great time to search the western side of the Metroplex for the best examples of catfish cuisine.

Do You Have A Christian "Doesn't Count List"

A very intriguing blog post on Stuff Christians Like. Click on the picture to read the post.
I think every Christian has a “Doesn’t Count List” (DCL), a collection of small things we do that might not be completely in God’s will for our life, but they’re so tiny they don’t really matter. If you say you don’t have a DCL, apparently lying is one of the items on yours because that’s just what you did.

Hungry, Hungry Hippo (And Fast Too!)

Did you know that the Hippopotamus is often regarded as the most ferocious animal in Africa? Did you know that his jaws are capable of biting a 10-foot crocodile in two? Did you know that they can outrun a human? Well, the gamekeeper in this picture knew it and was fortunate to get away.
