saturday (so far)

Today is reminiscent of those Saturdays I had in Houston, the Montrose, of waking up late and having too many things to do, too little time to do them in. And lots of habits and distractions <wink>. Thankfully, there is no Jack-In-The-Box. Instead, there is Olympic watching, garden weeding and biking on a rather pleasant August day. 

Last night I checked a bookmark I had made a couple of weeks ago. It is a chicken taco recipe and while I think I have the recipe for chicken soft tacos down, I’m always open for new ideas. So while revisiting this recipe I checked out the current posting for this blog and after scrolling past the breakfast burrito recipe, there is an enticing photo of spiced rubbed salmon on a cedar plank recipe. Although I do not own cedar planks (apparently you can get them at “finer” grocery stores) I kept reading through the description and once at the recipe I discovered that, yes, I have brown sugar, yes, I have kosher salt, yes, I have ancho chili, yes, I have ground cumin, yes, I have ground black pepper, and yes, I have honey all in my cupboard. I also have salmon steaks in my freezer. So guess what I’m having for dinner tonight?

My brother has called and asked if I want to join him and his family tomorrow for DC Ducks. For non-Cap City rezzies, DC Ducks is an amphibious tour bus which takes you around the tourist sites and takes you through a plunge in the Potomac. I’ve always wanted to do this, cheezy as it is, and this my opportunity!

Batman tonight? Yes? No? Maybe so?
