Reading about all the food in this thread.. making me hungry!
I am so bummed... I just went and pulled our electric smoker out... I have a recipe for the most delicious cured and smoked salmon.... The smoker wouldn't heat up! Since the fish has already been cured and dried enough to start cooking, I'm resorting to putting it in our oven. I was thinking about using the grill but I have to cook some other stuff on it today.
So I thought I'd share with you a good outcome story. Yesterday, we had loaded up some stuff that we had trimmed on the property (mostly palm fronds - the lady who owned our property before us way over planted and we have 60 palm trees). Got everything secured on our trailer and tied down so we could take it to the dump/recycle center near us. On the way there, some of the fronds looked like they were going to fly off so I got out of the car and realized I did not have my keys attached to my jeans via my carabiner & I fixed that. Got to the dump and stopped at the area to drop off our garbage. Then went to the area where we throw in the recycle. Then pulled up in line for the cars and trucks all unloading their brush. Rather than sit there and wait for 20 minutes, we decided we were going to get out and walk some of the palm fronds over to that area. Spent about 20 minutes doing that and was able to unload the entire trailer by the time we made it to the front of the line. Halfway back home I went to go reach for my keys so I could hand them to my mom to unlock the front door when we got to the house. Want to guess what was not on my hip?! My keys! So, we got home and stopped at the area where I had checked to make sure that the palm fronds were secured. No keys. Got back to the house, unhooked the trailer, and got back in the car to go back to the dump. Checked out the garbage area, then checked out the recycle area, and then walked towards the area for the brush. Lo and behold my keys were on the ground. Some of the rings on the carabiner were crushed, but the keys were all intact including the fob for my car. How lucky was that?!
