Name: Pan-Fried Bass
Ingredients: 4 Bass, cleaned, head and; Tails removed; Bacon drippings; Corn meal; Salt and pepper

The example of Jesus and the testimony of lovers of Christ throughout the centuries points us to early morning prayer as decisively important… First, it signals to our conscience that this is of first importance in the day. Second, it strikes the first blow in the battle of the day, instead of waiting till we are besieged from all sides. Third, what we do daily and do early shapes the spirit of our minds and brings us into a disposition of humility and trust that will bear better fruit than anxiety or self-reliance. Fourth, since beginning the day with the Word of God is crucial, prayer is equally crucial since the Word will not open its best wonders to us without prayer (Psm. 119:18). Fifth, it is uncanny how Satan can use even good things to squeeze prayer out of our schedule if we miss the early-morning hour. I have seen it again and again. If I say to myself, “I will give some time to prayer later,” it generally does not happen.

INGREDIENTS

4		Bass, cleaned, head and
		Tails removed
		Bacon drippings
		Corn meal
		Salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Wipe the fish with a cloth dipped in lightly salted water. Rub the fish
lightly with bacon drippings and roll in corn meal. Dust a little salt and
pepper in the cavities. Heat bacon drippings in a cast iron fry pan.
Drippings should be 1/4 - 1/2 inch deep and hot enough to brown a 1 inch
cube of bread in 2 minutes (no hotter). Cook fish until it is browned on
one side, about 4 minutes, then turn and brown on the other side. Drain on
paper towel before serving. Source: The Canadian Heritage Cookbook ch.
