Thread: Memorial Weekend Plans

Part of my weekend will be helping my son make smoked salmon.

While he's seen and helped me many times he wants to do it all from start to finish with me just supervising to make sure he doesn't mess up.

I'm really looking forward to it.

That's gotta be rewarding. As much as I love to cook, I really have no one to share it with. I don't have kids. And even if I did, there'd be no guarantee that they would want to have anything to do with it anyway. My mother likes when I bake something and bring it by. But beyond that, I just cook for my wife and I. The opportunity to cook along side someone would be fun.

It really is rewarding.

All three of my children have helped not only in making sausage and other smoked meats but in the kitchen since they were small.

While my son has the most hands on experience, I'm pretty confident that if I were to leave this world today all of them could open up my recipes, drag out the equipment and make some decent food.

When I met my now ex wife she could barely boil water. You should have been there when she was going to show me how you could boil pasta in the microwave-----can you say 'Glue' Then there was the time she cooked a bottom round roast at 400 degs, no water in the pot and no lid----pretty much a huge piece of jerky. My dog did enjoy it though so it didn't go completely to waste.

When she divorced me, she copied all of my recipes from my computer to a thumb drive and put them on her computer.

The kids would come over begging me to make this or that as their mom ruined them.

Oh well the kids are all good cooks so again that's a rewarding feeling.

NOTHING absolutely NOTHING

Okay good food,

Then come to Texas my friend you can cook alongside me and Roy and Charlie and Tom and anyone else. We would love you to come show us something

My wife’s family will be here, we’re doing a brisket. I’ve got the kids for a few hours too, the zoo has been requested.

Sounds like it might turn into a Zoo!

Roy, that is just awesome!!!! I know you'll really love that, it is so rewarding seeing your kids step up

OCD, I got a 5 year old I'm willing to lend out, for a very short time, but he loves to cook! Well run a smoker at least

jfk, have fun my friend!!!! Got cages for when it turns into a zoo?

Gravol tends to keep things calm on the ride home

A BBQ with family, study - school never takes a break, and remind my (adult) kids to take a moment of reflection of those who served and gave everything for this great nation.
