We do all kinds of kebabs, using whatever meats and veggies we have on hand. I also do whole chickens, turkeys and roasts, Potatoes in foil: diced potatoes, butter, herbs, sometimes some cheese, garlic and onion, too. Salmon is one of my favorites, usually just grilled with a little lemon pepper. This is an oven recipe but I make it on the grill, too. Salmon Baked in Foil 1 (6-8lb.) salmon, cleaned 1c sliced carrots 1c sliced onion 1c sliced celery 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves salt to taste 1/8tsp coarse ground black pepper 1 clove garlic, minced 1 bay leaf 2c dry white wine Preheat oven to 400 degreesF. Place large piece of heavy duty foil (enough to wrap entire fish) on jelly roll pan. Place salmon on foil and add remaining ingredients. Wrap and seal foil tightly around salmon. Bake 50-60 minutes or until fish is opaque and fin can be easily removed. Remove from oven and col. Skin and bone fish and serve with Hollandaise or sauce of your choice. Serves 8-10 Linda

I didn't even think to take a picture....sorry! I'm glad that bottle made it unscathed...I always worry. The garlic was part of a set (with the press, dontchaknow?)So very legal. hehehe. I hope you find good things in the book, Lori. I haven't thoroughly checked it out yet. It was a little strange to be standing in Costco thumbing through it and seeing my recipe in there.

Wow, I'm surprised at how little sleep most of you get...and envious! I'm one of those who needs her 8 hours. We usually hit the hay around 11, give or take half an hour, then I sleep until 7:30 or 8:00 if I don't have to work. My dh is such a lousy sleeper that he is always left with wanting more; on the weekends he will sleep in until 10 sometimes and then nap in the afternoon on top of that. It gets annoying to me, but I do feel sorry for him that his sleep is not good. I think of all the things I could accomplish if I didn't need so much sleep!

LOL! I love having this group to share some of the little building anecdotes. Here's another one -- got a message from the builder not to let the kids roam around the yard because the crew found a rattler...not just any rattler, but a baby rattler. Baby rattlers are the worst because (1) they don't actually "rattle" yet so you have no warning, (2) their bites are more venomous, and (3) they usually have 7 to 10 siblings emerging from a nearby den. I spent the next 3 days googling "how to snake proof a yard," "can snakes climb stairs," "do i go to urgent care or emergency room for rattlesnake bite" "number of rattlesnake deaths in south dakota per year" ETC ETC! Then when I visited the build yesterday, one of the OTHER crew members showed me the dead snake -- it wasn't a rattler, it was just a baby bull snake which are actually helpful w/ rodent control. This crew member explained the minute differences and showed me that our snake was definitely NOT a rattler. WHEW. He asked me not to tell the other crew members because they were very proud of the snake vanquishing. :P
