Broiled Salmon


Broiled Salmon

Just to show it wasn't a fluke, I cooked again tonight. Ate a little later than usual. Just as I was all set to get things going the power went off for an hour. Then I broiled the salmon and as soon as I finished supper and got the dishes washed the power went off for another hour.

We have had 3 days of temperatures over 100 degrees. With our high humidity, the heat index has been up in the 105 range. Maybe 104 tomorrow. It has been so long since it has rained I don't remember what it looks like. If it ever does and I recognize it, I'm going to take a picture of it.

I can't imagine those troops in Iraq with probably 65 lbs of gear in multiple layers trying to survive in the Iraq heat even though they are a lot younger than me. Lets get the hell out of there and bring them home now.

I just put now some lemon pepper with garlic and onion and a little salt on the salmon. Sometimes I drizzle on a little olive oil, but that usually smokes enough to set off the smoke alarm and I didn't want to have to open all the doors and windows tonight. Peel the squash and remove all the seeds and cut the flesh into chunks. The skin and seeds really give a bad texture and I think a kind of bitter taste to the squash. Therefore I only eat my squash. Use a lot of butter(well really smart beat margarine) and salt and pepper.. The rice I use now is Uncle Ben's Ready Rice. Slit the bag and 90 seconds in microwave and perfect everytime and they call that cooking. Plus there are several varieties available, too.

Here's the stuffed peppers I cooked awhile ago.
