Fish crumb mixture(Fish and Chips)
Its idea inspired by all crappy fish and chips I had over years and felt this actually tastes better gives that crispy taste without over cooking it.
For dorito lovers and people who like taste of something crunchy this might be something for you.
Ingredients
Option 1:
Texture: Panko wheat or normal white bread type.
spices You want to use oregano & Thyme
Mystery texture for this would peanut grounded by mortar(if ppl your cooking for have peanut allergies I recommend coconut, or cashews)
egg wash
flour: I used spelt flour
oil: we only have canola for frying.
Option 2:
Texture: (we had no panko) so I used Breadcrumbs
Spices were not many use and everyone all grumpy so I used sea salt and vinegar chips...you crush them up.
Spices I recommend using parsley if you have it fresh.
Egg wash
Flour: spelt flour
canola oil for frying
Sweet potatoes circles for sides
Dorito option: Since corn chip I don't see why not.
Texture, you don't need add panko..to it. be sure to make certain family members can handle it...be considerate of those other ppl
breadcrumbs is something you have consider.
no spice needed
egg wash
flour: garbanzo bean flour or rice flour
oil
Eggs depends on your fish batch, it could 2 eggs and some water to make certain it like egg slurry or not add water.
For fresh fries recommendation would be:
Broccoli stock, carrots, beets, radish, Sweet Potatoes not sure Chards would taste good in that form crispy fried.
You have flour and egg wash them with different breadcrumbs/ sea salt and herb mixture your choice.
I got down vote from two people but I am pretty certain it would tasted delicious.
Directions
flour, egg, breadcrumb =processing to whatever side you choose.
I was thinking make Japanese version potato croquettes or simple fries
Fish
1: Lets not forget to wash the fish and clean the fish before if fresh caught fish this step to take, if you got from store clean your hands...and prepare to handle tasty food. I was thinking to make sushi with cod. it was so nice..that just me thinking it. But here we go you should probably not use small knife unless you like chopping things with small thing and like touch fish. carving it something like doing or you had bad day go ahead. But if your those types who don't like doing that use big knife and be careful to make equal portions for everyone...don't make fist size chunks if frying it won't cook evenly, or making easier to flour roll too.
Advice set up your bowels in line so you can be sure not miss your step, so bowl one before cutting board should flour set up, bowel two should be egg wash, bowel three should be breadcrumbs. and final it should be plate or cookie sheet whichever works for you for final landing zone for fish to cooked and fried.
2: it gets easy after first process of making them if you have make adjustment it might be easier if notice some pieces are bigger and aren't cut properly might be good idea go back and re-adjust it. so easier for people eat it rather them blobs of flesh. overcooking makes rubber food and not good eat.
3: roll in flour, dip in egg-wash get all side then roll it again into bread crumbs then set to aside on plate ready for frying.
Notes
www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/food/cookery-videos/a657161/how-to-pan-fry-fish-fillets/<-general what to do normally to make inspiration idea of your own recipe.
Normally this my recipe I made of my own, Doritos is something I suggest to you try.
First option I had put some cod in deep freeze because I was concerned out for my mother handling frying option. She wanted me to prepare the food and she wanted to do the rest.

Juicing for health
Blending for juice and pulp
Juice you have to filter your smoothie if you don't like just drink smoothie in one day let sit it get odd looking...juice will sit on bottom and displace making want to shake it.
I started to notice after first taste and couple days from smoothie aspect it doesn't last. Doesn't taste like fresh. Best option is make blender type juice and collect juice. it last a week in your fridge or you drinking it more.
Juicing tastes really good, pulp I found some uses of it. You could add to things to like pasta sauces or places where people say they don't eat their vegetables be surprise later.
Ingredients
Kale (washed and chopped and bagged)
Collard(washed and chopped and bagged)
Pepper (washed and chopped and prepared of day juicing)
Apple (washed, peeled, chopped and cored, prepared day of juicing)
pear (washed, peeled, chopped, and cored, prepared day of juicing)
Cucumber(washed, some peeled, chopped, depending on taste of pit and cucumber you keep pits)
watermelon(washed, rind removed, use the three days purchased)
Pineapple(remove the top, cut top and bottom, cut rind careful then pits)
Ginger(peeled, chopped day of juicing)
Strawberries(washed, top removed or do it whole after you washed it)
other type melons (washed, rind removed and pits removed)
frozen fruits and frozen veggies is highly recommended helps in those who want short cut it but you don't need cut or chop so consider it.
citrus that can be tasted would be peel without much of pectin.
Herbs you can add:
Oregano
Parsley
Turmeric
Rosemary
there ton of other herbs you could add that immune boosting to make your day feel you take on day.
Directions
2) Example: Carrots & apple means you won't need to add sugars ever, Frozen berry & Pepper you need to add Pear because not everyone likes pepper juice combo... Kale doesn't taste good by itself unless with another vegetable herbs work well to keep flavors not too strong.
3) Availability matters, not everything will be there, due to price if your one people who spends money like water...you don't want to me I get mousy when i see price that like five bucks for kale you grow it and it costs less for growing it yourself and grow more of quantity means you grow 10 bushes of it and keep growing for you it ever-growing bush of kale. U get me.
Same with collards? yep.
4) I have Hamilton beach if you have on slow masticating juicers that works just similar to blender, set to low and chopping, squeeze out sooner or liquidfy(this on high setting) so you have fresh tasting juice quicker.
5)what do I do with my pulp, give to goats use in pasta sauces just little bit, use for cookies...and baked cookies and goods. Edible to dogs and other people who have issues in life.
6) Filtering methods funnel or using skimmer ladle which I use often. Paper towels or handkerchief choices are up to you if you have cheese cloth in your house.
7) end result you still have clean up mess, but results you get juice tastes better then store products.
Notes
I don't recommend oranges with juice you rarely taste it, Lemon maybe or other citruses you probably taste more...
