Well it looks like our blissful peace will be coming to an end on June 24th, sort of. The road will be open to single lane traffic indefinitely at that time. The road between Port and past the fire location is going to be hella busy and slow. It is busy on a normal day. I can't imagine what single lane is going to do. I think I will wait a while longer for my glasses and Myles and April will have to do without their little poof a little longer as well.
I have the worst most expensive housekeeper. I will admit I am trying to replace both Milly or Alice, and it just isn't possible. But holy hell! Have you ever heard of a housekeeper that doesn't dust, doesn't wipe the tables, doesn't always wash the bathroom floor, doesn't vacuum all the way down the stairs, only halfway down, after being asked to go all the way down, doesn't ever wipe the stair bannisters, leaves dirty splashes on the backsplash in the kitchen, never cleans the microwave.....and leaves a half hour early. And I pay her 35 bucks an hour. But as long as she is better than nothing, I can't fire her. And finding a different housekeeper is very difficult. Plus she is the sweetest person on the planet. It's hard to blast a sweet person.
I dug through one of the freezers a while ago to dig out some frozen salmon I have for supper tonite. I have decided to cut the filets into three pieces and pan fry them. I serve them with a béchamel (no tarragon though) dill sauce. I chop up fake crab and add that to it as well.
So as they start thawing on the counter I hear my phone ding. It was a message from my awesome person who does the lawn. He is native and is married to a native gal. That gal fishes, very successfully. Right now the sockeye (not my fave but I would never turn down a cheap salmon) are running. What I like about them is they aren't too big. My days of slinging giant salmon, forty pounds and up, are over. In fact I only want what we can eat, no salmon in the freezer. And Johnathon sells them to me for twenty bucks. He is delivering it to me shortly and I must go put the Costco salmon (pinks, which are my favourite salmon) back into the freezer.
I am going to horseshoe the sockeye and panfry the steaks. I used to do that with the coho that Bill and the kids would catch. Any extra would be deep fried or cut into little chunks and marinated in maple flavouring and Thai chilli sauce then broiled under the broiler. Mmmmmmmm........delish.
So on that note I shall disrupt a little dog between my knees (I would say legs but that doesn't ring right) shut this up and go put fish away and find a twenty dollar bill somewhere!
Have a great day and come visit when the road opens!!! I will try to feed you fish, if you like it. If not how about prime rib roast and Yorkshires? I already have the gravy by the bucket in the freezer! TTYL
'OH NO!!!! Here come the Heymans again, with a huge giant unmanageable salmon under their arm. Why can't they just bring zucchini like every other human we know.' said everyone the Heyman's knew in the eighties and nineties.
