I am so ashamed. I have been putting off posting about our last lunch trip to the Back Porch. We ate with some friends and the special of catfish, fries and brown beans looked so good I dove right in and neglected to take any photos. To make matters worse we were treated to a slice of each type of pie being served that day.... and yep.... no pictures of the freshly home made Buttermilk pie, apple pie or the, gift from a benevolent pie God, chocolate pie either.

All the pies were good, really good. The buttermilk was the only one that a human could actually eat in one setting. It was the least rich but still caused me to wonder aloud why I had "that one last bite". The apple pie was simply a really good apple pie. All it was missing was a big-o dollop of Blue Bell Ice Cream. The chocolate pie was by far the best. I don't know what was in it. I probably don't want to know. In fact, I know I don't want to know because I am sure that the crust is the only thing that I am allowed to eat... being diabetic. It almost has the texture and taste of a chocolate brownie batter poured into and baked in a pie crust. And the chocolate chips... I did mention the chocolate chips...that's what I'm talkin' bout.

I am such a failure. I know I have let you down and I apologize. In an attempt to make up for this recent photo failure I fully intend to have the Friday Fish special again this coming Friday. It is a hardship but I am willing to endure it for the sake of my readers. I will tell you that it was the best catfish I have had in years. It had to be fresh. The fillets were thick and meaty. They were very flaky and had no "fishy" smell or taste. What they did have was that wonderful taste of corn fed catfish. The tarter sauce seemed to be an original creation with minced onion and a southwest spicy base of some kind......

Wait.... I feel the urge for Wednesday's Special at TBP, Meatloaf, Macaroni and Cheese with a buttermilk biscuit. I'll let you know how it was when I get back. YES, WITH PICTURES.....
