Have you ever had salmon bbq'd on a cedar plank? It's awesome. Very tender and moist and flavorful. This is how you do it:
Soak a cedar plank (any old cedar - can be fence board) overnight. Put a rock or can on top to keep it underwater. Then preheat the bbq to high and heat the board for 2 or 3 minutes. Keep a spray bottle handy in case it catches fire! Then sprinkle with coarse salt and add the salmon filet which has been brushed with olive oil, lemon juice, and topped with onion and coarsely ground pepper. You can also add dill and we added onion green.
Turn the heat down low when you add the salmon, close the lid and the recipe says to cook for 10 minutes but it took ours more like 20. The salmon should be flaky. Check it , and keep that spray bottle handy.
Then enjoy. You'll love it.
Don't you just expect a little gnome to come out of this mushroom? It was about 4 inches high and quite thick. Saw it in Kananaskis.
Our green trim , eavestroughs and soffits need to be replaced because of hail damage and they don't have the same color. So which color should we choose? Another dark green? Black? Dark brown? Any votes?
The highlight of course was Kaleb's second birthday. The doggy theme was taken from his favorite book, "Go dogs, Go!"
He makes a cute little puppy, doesn't he?
Saturday was spent painting Darrell and Jess's house. It was an extremely hot day and they were working on a south wall. I got to stay inside and babysit Kaleb. Good deal for me!
Does anyone know what kind of birds these are? I couldn't find any like that in my bird book. They were about the size of robins with a fairly long beak. saw them in a national park in southern Alberta.
