Aahhhh! Good Dinner!

Well, we had a nice dinner, the kids are getting ready for bed, and I'm sitting here with one last cup of coffee for the day. 

They got two more ducks today, and there are about 10 more days of waterfowl season.  The salmon was delicious!  When we grill it I just brush it with lemon, butter, tarragon, salt and pepper.  Thomas is allergic to garlic, so I never put that on.  The rice was good, too.  If my Florida sister's family was here, we'd have to have grits with it!  (I was never raised on grits, but have learned to love them as a breakfast cereal with butter and sugar; I've had them as a side dish with just salt and like them that way, too.  But I'm not crazy about them that way.)

It's still quite warm outside and I still have one window opened a couple inches.   What weather for January.  I got outside and played with my dogs again.  It's time to get the two male pups neutered and the female terrier spayed.  Past time, really, I just haven't had the time to make the appointment.

I love salmon on the grill. I cook it in foil with a bit of olive oil, fresh dill and lemons. Then I make a dill sauce with sour cream, finely chopped cucumber and more dill....heavenly! I never liked grits, being an Indiana girl myself, but I have to say that eating them with brown sugar and butter is wonderful! LOL....my husband thinks I'm NUTS. His family is from TN so he was raised on southern cooking. Apparently the only way to eat them is with cheese, or butter and salt. Ick. Glad you got some fresh air today....we had a cold spurt but it's gone....back into the 70's this week. ;o)

I've never had grits, but my friend from the South keeps promising he going to fix some for me.  He says they are wonderful, but nothing could be as wonderful as that salmon sounds.  Pennie
