Thread: Memorial Weekend Plans

We have a long weekend north of the border as well - Victoria Day weekend. For some reason, we celebrate one of the homeliest British monarchs ever, but we do light off a whack of fireworks and enjoy our families. Then we try to avoid traffic accidents on the hiways home on Monday.

To all my fellow American and Canadian SRP-ers, have a safe and restful and enjoyable long weekend.

I am just coming to the end of my fishing vacation this time of year.

We go the week end before Memorial Day so we can avoid the zoo on the roads and lakes.

Lots of work to do around the house so I think I will putz around here.

I'll be celebrating my 14th anniversary with my lovely wife, time flies when you're in love. I may make time for a fine cigar and scotch.

My grandson and wife is having my first great grandchild so no your not old. And I’m not so sure my brother is a retired marine and I wouldn’t let him marry any one I know!

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.
