Who Want's Salmon?

Uncle John is obviously the good luck charm. They've caught the big fish, every time they've gone out together. Many fish stories. Some that got away. Fresh air and exercise -- everyone slept well last night! Guess what we're having for dinner tonight? Come on over, there's plenty! The biggest was 18 pounds...... which John brought in. Yes. That's Allen's hat from Aruba last summer. It has now been deemed his lucky fishing hat. They're making plans to fish from our little rig tomorrow. We'll see how the second chapter of the fish story unfolds.

Fresh Salmon all Summer

My favorite main course has long been salmon..... and I'm happy to report that supposedly it's good for you. So imagine how delighted I am to have an entire freezer filled with this fresh treat. Allen's been out on two charter salmon fishing trips -- both in the early evening over on Lake Michigan. Last night he and his Uncle John each caught their limit: 4 fish for each. They brought home another 50 pounds of cleaned fillets to add to the stockpile in the freezer. Now that's a lot of salmon! Hope that we don't tire of this delicacy. We are now the pleased owners of a new food saver, vacuum-seal contraption. (I would highly recommend it to all fishing people.) We'll be able to enjoy our personally-caught, yummy salmon for months to come, perhaps seasons to come.
