1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
1/2 cup (125ml) Grand Marnier
Juice of 2 oranges

3 mangoes, flesh sliced 1cm thick
Raspberry sauce
1/4 cup (55g) caster sugar
250g fresh or frozen raspberries

Combine the Grand Marnier and orange juice in a separate bowl. Dip half the sponge fingers into the juice mixture and layer in the base of the cake pan. Spread with one-third of the mascarpone mixture, and top with one-third of the mango slices. Repeat the process, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture, reserving the remaining mango slices to serve. Cover the cake and chill for 2 hours or until firm.
Meanwhile for the raspberry sauce, place the sugar and 2 tbs water in a small pan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cool slightly, then add the berries and lemon juice. Whiz in a food processor until smooth, then pass through a sieve. Chill until ready to serve. (You can store the sauce, covered, in the fridge for 3-4 days).
To serve, carefully remove the sides and base of the cake pan and transfer the mangomisu to a platter. Decorate with curls of the reserved mango, then slice and serve with berry sauce.

The recipe is for Southern Fried Catfish. Even my old hootie California uppity friends die for it. Especially, when accompanied by my world famous HUSH PUPPIES! A recipe I will NOT share with you...sooo THERE'S!!!
Here we gooooo:
Buy some Catfish Steaks of about equal size. Put 1 cup cornmeal, salt and pepper to taste in brown paper sack and shake to mix it up. Then put Catfish in and shake to coat.
In fry pot or cast iron skillet, add Wesson Oil and heat to very hot. Fry on high heat until fish is golden brown (about 9 minutes, in all)
There ya' have it! Simple, crunchy and moist inside that'll have da' wiimenzs swoonin' and da menzs envious...
Now for that HUSH PUPPY recipe ya'll wished I'd share...NOOOOOO WAY!!!!!!!!
C' Ya! James (Suthun Cook Extraordinaires!~)
Salt n pepper? That's it? Oh please,tell me about the hush puppies. You are making me want to go for shrimp and hush puppies...I have a recipe though, called Zatarans lol... I think.
HEY!!!! Don't forget da' cornmeals!!! Most people make the mistake of using Flour instead...and NOOOO! NO HUSH PUPPIES recipe. They are my Weapon Of Mass Seductions!!! heh, heh, heh... C' Ya! James
BEST RIBS IN THE WORLD!!!! Take one two or more slabs of ribs cut them apart. Add Tony Casheres Seasoning all over(Just Dash, not too much) You will need about 3 tall bottles of Oyster Sauce from an oriental market ( 1 bottle for each slab of ribs). Let it sit covered over night in the fridge. Using a frying pan , fill it up with oil, let it get hot and drop a few ribs in there. Because of the oyster sauce they are going to turn dark in color. Don't be scared! They are very good. I cooked 5 slabs for my sons birthday party and everyone of those ribs got ate, people were still asking about ribs.----->>> You can also use OYSTER SAUCE in stir fry's, no need for salt but black pepper and bell peppers make a great taste . ----->>> SHRIMP IS ALSO GOOD COOKED IN A SKILLET OR FRIED WITH OYSTER SAUCE. TRY SHRIMP-KA-BOB ON A GRILL.

Best freaking Lasagna you could ever eat. No measuring required. Oven bake lasagna squares, 1 large container of Ricotta cheese, 1 or two containers of cottage cheese ( depending on how much you like the taste) largest size jar of spaghetti sauce, hamburger meat(I DON'T USE MUCH, YOUR CHOICE). Using a cake dish(don't know the measurement) but big, Pour spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom of the dish. Dip the lasagna squares in egg(after beating). with a tablespoon cover the whole shell with Ricotta cheese(HAS A VERY GOOD AND DISTINCT TASTE). Do that for the first layer of lasagna. Pour sauce over those squares. Start a second layer this time using Cottage Cheese, pour sauce over it, then do Ricotta again and the back to Cottage (You get it). You can add any other cheese you would like. Five Italian cheese is pretty good. Make sure with every layer you make, to add sauce. This is what helps the lasagna bake. I also pour sauce on top and then cover with parmasean cheese , provolone... it's your choice (Shredded). Cover (aluminum foil) and bake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes on 350. Don't forget the bread dashes of garlic and butter, ceasar salad is good too. IF YOU HAVE A LARGE FAMILY , YOU MIGHT CONSIDER MAKING DOUBLE DISHES. THIS WON'T LAST LONG. I HAVE TONS OF NEIGHBORS,I COOK FOR ALL.
Yummy Guacamole, All you need is avacado 1 or 2. Stir in some sour cream , salt lime juice and onions(If you like lime and onion) Keep doing taste test... Pretty good I think y'all will like it.
A good desert. Vanilla or Butter cake mix, you favorite flavor of jello. Bake the cake , let it cool. Take a toothpick , poke lot's of holes everywhere. While the jello is still liquified, pour it all over the top of the cake(VERY SLOWLY). It will seep into the holes. After it has been soaked up into the cake, add your favorite icing, as long as it taste good with the jellow. Mine is Strawberry Jello with Cream Cheese icing on top of a white cake. This is good with Angel Food Cake too!
Roast in a Crock Pot... Take a large pork or beef roast place it in the crock pot. Add one whole onion. Using a hand held shredder remove the skins from potatoes and carrots( as many as you would like) Put them on top of the roast and pour Hot and spicy BarBque sauce over everything. DO NOT ADD WATER TO THIS!!! let it slow cook low or medium until done. If you don't add potatoes, cut and boil some.Homemade mashed potatoes are the best! And this is the best roast!!!
Fast and easy nacho's... 1 block of Velveeta cheese 2 or 3 cans of Rotel(hot, extra hot, medium or mild) any way you like it. Heat the Rotel first, it shoud be nice and hot before you put the (CUT UP CHEESE BLOCKS IN THERE). Make sure that you use a non stick pan, like T-Fal or anything like that. Stir frequently. Make sure not to burn the cheese it taste nasty!! This stuff is good when sitting at home watching movies.
