Silly Saturday!

Let me In!

Here is a funny video that my wife found that I wanted to share with you. We have a cat named Moo and she is the epitome of this cartoon! She is always begging to be let out or back in and scratches on the sliding glass door just like this. She even sits in the kitchen and practically points to the cabinet so she can get cookies! If she could point to her mouth she would!

So hope you enjoy the video and post a comment!

Take care!

Alaskan Salmon on the Barbie

BBQ Alaskan Salmon

I know you are asking yourself Salmon on the Barbecue? And that is what I first Thought too. The truth is you can't cook fish any better than this!

We have tried several different fish on our Barbecue and actually found that frozen Salmon found at Costco is the best we have tasted! We have tried fresh fish from our local Stater Bros., Albertson's, Von's, you name it and have found that the Frozen Salmon at Costco is the best.

You will need foil, fish of course salmon is preferred but you can use Mahi Mahi or any other fish you might like, Lemons, Garlic Salt, and any other seasoning you might want to try. Lat bu not least your Barbecue.

Directions:

Thaw out the salmon, it takes about 3-4 hours depending on how warm your house is.

Pull out 3-4 pieces which feeds a family of 4.

1 piece can feed either 1 or 2 people depending on how hungry you are.

• Pull out a piece of aluminum foil approx 16 inches long.
• Put a small dab of butter on the foil along with some garlic salt and any other of your favorite seasonings.
• Place each salmon on top of the butter and seasonings.
• Place another small dab of butter on top of salmon along with some lemon juice and other seasonings of your choice.
• Heat up your Barbecue to medium to medium low.
• Once you have done all of this fold the foil over the part where the salmon is, fold it over one more time.
• Fold the sides in, then continue to fold up the foil with the fish in it until it is wrapped up good and tight!
• Place your pieces of fish on the Barbecue and set your timer for 7 minutes.
• After 7 minutes, turn over fish and continue to cook for 8 minutes.
• After 8 minutes, turn fish over one more time for 7 more minutes.

Once timer goes off your fish should be cooked through, nice and flaky!

We usually fix wild rice or some other type of rice dish with it.

Well hope you like our way of cooking Salmon on the Barbecue!

Don't forget to visit Sandra at Diary of a stay at home Mom for some other recipes that she has gathered up!

Enjoy!

"The Greatest American Hero!"

How do I start to comment on what my Wife Kat had said about me on her Heart 2 Heart Blog today. I Love Her so much and had to laugh at what she said about me. I guess Men are useful in that manner, I mean who else is going to clean out drains, pick Horn Worms off of tomato plants, scrape mold off of paint, repair Air Conditioning drain valves full of rust...

Well, you get the point. I mean women are so great at multi tasking that us men have to be good at something right?

That is why God gave us Tools!!!!!!!

It reminded me of an old T.V. Show that I loved watching when I was a young teenager. Kat said that I am her hero for doing all of the "Dirty Jobs" as Mike Rowe does on his show. But this blog is not about Dirty Jobs, no, this blog is about being The Greatest American Hero as all or most husbands are.




I wanted to add this old T.V. Show on my Blog because if we are to be recognized as heroes, then this would be the kind of Hero I would be. Clumsy, tall, worrisome, inept, nervous, rough around the edges, clumsy (did I mention that already?)If you have never seen the show before I have an old clip of it for your viewing enjoyment. But be very careful as the song is catchy and you will find yourself singing it at 1 am in the morning not knowing why!




So thank you to my wife whom without her I am just an ordinary average Joe!

T.V. Shows now are so serious or full of too much content which just seems to bore me anymore. I am tired of Quote Reality Shows that End Quote that sometimes I long for the old shows like The A-Team, Knight Rider, Hogans Heroes, M.A.S.H., ALF, Mork n Mindy, the list could go on and on.


If any of you remember this show, please feel free to comment whether bad or good!

My wife hated this show, but I liked it.

Fun In The Sun!

Family decision to go to the mountains and have some fun at Lake Gregory!

The last time I had blogged about where we were going to get out of the heatwave we have been having for several weeks in a row. We decided to go to a new place that the kids had never been to! Lake Gregory near Crestline is a wonderful little community that is between Lake Silverwood and Crestline in California. It is only about 4,500 ft. above sea level and was closer to home than we thought! This little lakeside town must be a well kept secret as we went on a Friday afternoon and there couldn't have been more than a hundred people in the water park area.

Here are a few pictures of our kids having a blast on the water slides. Our oldest, brought a friend to come hang out with her. The first picture below is our youngest who loves being in water of any kind!

I definitely think that we will be back in the near future. This was a nice place to relax and get out of the high heat in our hometown. The temperature was only about 85 degrees and was quite comfortable in the shade of the tall whispering Pine Trees. My wife and I just sat and watched the scenery change as the clouds built into a pillow like white cotton ball just north of the lake. It was a very peaceful place to be, as if all of your troubles just seemed to drift away with the clouds leaving tranquil thoughts of not having a care in the world.

We saw a beautiful Log Cabin up in the hills across from where we were sitting and just wondered how nice it would be to live in a home like that. I sat there and pondered how much it would be to buy a home up here and just move away from it all! It would be a blast to even rent a cabin up here in the late Summer/Early Fall to see the changing colors of the trees. I am definitely finding myself moving to a mountain community when I can retire with my beautiful Wife Kat.

The drive time to get here took much less than we thought as well. My GPS which gave me a new way to drive by Lake Silverwood through some windy turns (not bad though if you drove slow.) into the back way to Lake Gregory. I spoke to my Mom and Dad yesterday and had told them where we went, they said that they had taken the whole family up there several times when I was very young.

So....

We had a great time and have put this place on our map to come back, enjoy the lake and all of it's surroundings.

Thank you Lake Gregory for sharing your scenery!

See you soon!
