Hi Dave,


 RH> (salmon)

 RH> We're happy with the canned from time to time but do like the fresh as
 RH> well. Had a lot of the latter up in Alaska this past trip so we're
 RH> taking a fish break for a bit.

 DD> I get along much better with non-oily fish. But, even that is easy to
 DD> "tire" of. Then it's back to burger and pork chops and leg-o-lamb (if
 DD> I find a good sale).

 DD> I've only made this once ... it makes a *LOT*. Fortunately the
 DD> leftovers re-heat well and/or you can slice it to make really good
 DD> sandwiches.

Nothing like a good tomato sandwich. Tradition is that it's just sliced
tomatoes, Duke's mayo (some say Miracle Whip) and white bread, eaten
standing over a sink. I'll have mine on whole wheat or sourdough miche
bread, toasted, and add some lettuce and bacon.


 RH> We do a lot of chicken--Steve grilled some thighs last night with lemon
 RH> pepper seasoning. We'll use them up tonight, with salad and probably
 RH> applesauce--low fuss cooking.

 DD> I'm currently experimenting with doing bacon wrapped franks in the
 DD> over- the-stove nuker. I had to make a special trip to the store to
 DD> get a box of toothpicks - since the metal skewers I'd use on the grill
 DD> or in the
 DD> oven cause major sparking and light shows in the microwave.  Bv)=

I keep toothpicks on hand, both in the house and in the camper. Bacon
wrapped franks sound good--add some baked beans as a side and maybe some
bread (or use a bun) to sop up the juices.

 DD> It's looking like 4 1/2 minutes is where I'll wind up. The bacon is as
 DD> crispy as it needs to be without the hot dog having all the juices
 DD> dried up by the trip through the experience.

I'll have to remember it next time I get some hot dogs. Otherwise, I
think everything else is on hand.

 DD> Someone gifted us with a plastic grocery sack of (obviously) home
 DD> grown tomatoes the other day. I wish I knew who so I could thank
 them DD> and/or DD> return the favour. But no one admits to the deed.

Enjoy them; the season is all too short.


 Still, I made this DD> for lunch yesterday .... Varying from the recipe
 only in using wheat DD> bread in place of the white called for. Next go
 I'm going to try using DD> some Tony Chachere's (green can) Creole
 Seasoning in place of the DD> specced Furikake. Should work well.

I've got a couple of jars (different combos of seasonings) of Furikake
on hand--started buying it when we were in HI. I usually sprinkle a bit
on cooked brown rice.

 RH> ... Books are better than TV; they exercise your imagination.

 DD> True dat. And why only give scant attention to the groove tube.

I give some attention to it, not a lot tho.
