This rattlesnake was recently found at the old Turkey Creek located just south of BURGAW, N.C.  Could not help but include the recipe….

DEEP-FRIED RATTLESNAKE

1 medium-sized rattlesnake (3-4 lbs.), cut into steaks
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1 teaspoon salt

dash pepper

Mix dry ingredients.  Whisk milk into beaten egg and use to dip snake steaks.
Then coat them with dry ingredients.
 Fry, uncovered, in 400 degree oil until brown.

Thinking of gifts for Jeff: I have a suggestion!

BURGAW-  Anna Humphrey Katsoulis took first place recently with her “Blue Berry Cloud Cake Roll” at the North Carolina Blueberry Festival.  Anna has won this prestigous award for the third year in a row beating out 53 other entries.  She beat out 100 entries last year.  Anna and I graduated from Pender High School in 1989.     

Yep, this is one smokin’ hot blueberry cake and I can’t stop thinking about it….

The Blueberry Festival celebrates the historical, economic, and cultural significance of blueberries in the southeastern region of our state. The first cultivated blueberry production in North Carolina began in the Pender County area in the 1930s. Currently, Pender County ranks second in blueberry production for the state.
