Tuesday Filler

Okay, okay, I hear you.  I didn't realize anyone was reading this blog but after neglecting to post for a few days I have been deluged with e-mails.  Actually, I am pretty pleased with the interest and vow to be more dilligent (we'll see how well that goes...)!
If you read my last post you will know what I've been up to.  Nothing much to report. 
Making salmon for supper.  I found a whole salmon at the grocery store for 75 cents!  At first I was a bit wary but it looked and smelled fresh.  The lady at the seafood counter said they had a sale on whole salmon but nobody wanted to fillet it themselves so they kept reducing the price.  If I learned anything from my fishing in Alaska adventures it was how to fillet a salmon!  (Well, that, and if you go fishing in Alaska make sure you have return passage... and a fishing boat is no match for an iceberg, but I knew that before we hit it... oh, and never try to argue with a skipper who says he can break an iceberg in half with a fishing boat because you won't convince him otherwise... mm, and always take a camera if you go fishing in Alaska because you never know what will happen and you might end up getting some very close up pictures of an iceberg...)  So I have half a salmon left and am going to do something with it for supper.  Maybe I'll skewer it and make some sort of sauce...?  Well, there's that excitement chronicled for the ages!
Wish I had more to say but there just isn't much going on.  The weather can't decide what it wants to do so sun and clouds fight for space and occasional rain showers fall.  Temps in the 60s today (50s for the past week) and maybe mid-70s tomorrow (here's hoping!).  I'm dying to put away my winter clothes but it isn't going to happen yet (43 degrees the other morning!!  sheesh!).  Eventually I hope to put them away forever!!
(bright with rain... I'll try to find and scan the iceberg pictures for next time)
