Grilled Salmon

Over the weekend, I bought a small wood smoker to use on our new gas grill.  And I can’t wait to use it.  I soaked the apple wood chips in a sherry wine.

Today the department that I support held a BBQ as a thank you for all the hard work everyone has been doing and for the contract employees too.  It was held at the Shadelands Museum. A relatively cooler day outside, so it was nice not to have to be out in the super hot weather.  I had the opportunity to reacquaint myself with some former co-workers and meet some new ones too.

After the BBQ I popped into Trader Joe’s real quick to pick up some salmon for dinner tonight.

We love our new grill so I am going to make a grilled salmon on the “Q”, using apple wood chips soaked in Sherry wine.

Now I want you to know that this evening’s dinner was an adventure in the kitchen.  First, I am ready to take my photos when I discover the batteries in the camera are dead.  I rush to find more batteries to no avail.  So I resort to the camera on my phone.

Then, I realize the door to the backyard open.  Smokey, our cat got out and I didn’t know it.  Kona, our puppy, sees the cat outside and races toward Smokey.  Smokey starts hissing and Kona is jumping, howling and literally going ape sh*t.  This is all happening as I am trying to get the grill prepped.  And now have to stop the mayhem that is about to take place.  I have to physically lift the dog back into the house, close the door, go back outside, grab the cat, open the door bring the cat in and to a safe place (the laundry room) and get back to the grill.  All in a days work, they say.
